date_range_form_field

Description:

date range form field

date_range_form_field #
A Flutter package for adding a DateRange widget into a form.
A date picker UX is provided by showDateRangePicker.
The widget will accept InputDecoration or use the default from the app's theme.
Additionally, the widget will accept a date format, defaulting to MM-dd-yyyy.
Usage #
This widget should be used like any other FormField within a form.
It is important to note that the firstDate and lastDate properties correspond to the first and last valid dates.
This widget must have a MaterialWidget ancestor, such as a MaterialApp
Example #

import 'package:date_range_form_field/date_range_form_field.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() {
runApp(new MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new MaterialApp(
home: MyFormField(),
);
}
}

class MyFormField extends StatefulWidget {
@override
_MyFormFieldState createState() => _MyFormFieldState();
}

GlobalKey<FormState> myFormKey = new GlobalKey();

class _MyFormFieldState extends State<MyFormField> {
DateTimeRange? myDateRange;

void _submitForm() {
final FormState? form = myFormKey.currentState;
form!.save();
}

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text("Date Range Form Example"),
),
body: SafeArea(

validator: (value) {
if (value!.start.isBefore(DateTime.now())) {
return 'Please enter a later start date';
}
return null;
},
onSaved: (value) {
setState(() {
myDateRange = value!;
});
}),
