Features Details #
🗓️ Customize Date/Time Format #

Tailor the date and time format to your specific requirements.

Easily modify the date and time format by adjusting the dateFormat property in DateTimePickerOption.
dateOption: DateTimePickerOption(
dateFormat: DateFormat('EddMMMy'),
),
copied to clipboard
The pattern accepted is based on the intl package. See the DateFormat docs to find more about the pattern. DateFormat example patterns:

EEEE, dd MMM yyyy → Monday, 01 Jan 2000
hh:mm:ss a → 06:30:00 pm
DateFormat.yMMMd() → 2020 Jan 01
DateFormat.jms() → 18:30:00


📅 Customize Date/Time Order #

Arrange date and time elements in your preferred order.

To customize Date/Time order to show on the picker, simply modify the pattern that is passed to the dateFormat param on DateTimePickerOption.
Example:

To show Year-Month-Day:
dateOption: DateTimePickerOption(
dateFormat: DateFormat('yMMMMdd'),
),
copied to clipboard

To show Day-Month-Year:
dateOption: DateTimePickerOption(
dateFormat: DateFormat('ddMMMMy'),
),
copied to clipboard



🌍 Customize Date/Time Locale #

Set the locale for date and time, ensuring localization accuracy.

Tailor the date and time locale displayed in the picker by passing the locale to the dateFormat parameter in DateTimePickerOption. If no locale is specified, the package will use the default locale. Locale options are based on the intl package. See the Locale docs to find more about the locale. Here's how to use it:

English Locale:
dateOption: DateTimePickerOption(
dateFormat: DateFormat('yMMMMdd', 'en'),
),
copied to clipboard

French Locale:
dateOption: DateTimePickerOption(
dateFormat: DateFormat('yMMMMdd', 'fr'),
),
copied to clipboard

Default Locale:
dateOption: DateTimePickerOption(
dateFormat: DateFormat('ddMMMMy'),
),
copied to clipboard



✏️ Customize Date/Time TextStyles #

Craft your own text styles for a personalized appearance.

Personalize the appearance of the date and time text using the DateTimePickerStyle class. Adjust the TextStyle properties for:

ActiveStyle: Style for text in the center area of the picker
InactiveStyle: Style for text outside the center area.
DisabledStyle: Style for invalid date/time text. Invalid date will be explained in Invalid Date section

Here's an example:
style: DateTimePickerStyle(
activeStyle: TextStyle(
fontSize: 24,
letterSpacing: -0.5,
color: Theme.of(context).primaryColor,
),
inactiveStyle: TextStyle(
fontSize: 20,
color: Theme.of(context).primaryColor.withOpacity(0.7),
),
disabledStyle: TextStyle(
fontSize: 20,
color: Theme.of(context).disabledColor,
),
),
copied to clipboard

🛞 Customize Scroll Wheel Appearance #

Define the wheel's appearance, from flat to rounded.

Set custom appearance for the picker wheel. The parameters here are based on flutter's ListWheelScrollView. You can make the picker looks flat or rounded like a wheel. Usage example:
wheelOption = const DateTimePickerWheelOption(
perspective: 0.01,
diameterRatio: 1.5,
squeeze: 1.1,
offAxisFraction: 1.5,
physics: BouncingScrollPhysics(),
);

📜 Choose Between Infinite/Finite Scroll #

Opt for either finite or infinite scrolling, depending on your needs.

Choose between finite and infinite scrolling based on your requirements:

Finite Scroll: The picker stops at the end of the scroll items.
ScrollDateTimePicker(
itemExtent: 54,
infiniteScroll: false // Finite scroll
onChange: (_){}
dateOption: DateTimePickerOption(
dateFormat: DateFormat('EddMMMy'),
minDate: DateTime(2000, 6),
maxDate: DateTime(2024, 6),
),
),
copied to clipboard

Infinite Scroll: The picker is infinitely scrollable, with values repeating when reaching the end.
ScrollDateTimePicker(
itemExtent: 54,
infiniteScroll: true // Infinite scroll
onChange: (_){}
dateOption: DateTimePickerOption(
dateFormat: DateFormat('EddMMMy'),
minDate: DateTime(2000, 6),
maxDate: DateTime(2024, 6),
),
),
copied to clipboard



🎨 Fully Customize Date/Time Picker Appearance #

Gain complete control over the date/time picker's appearance with a variety of customization options:

Customize Flex Width for Every Date/Time Item
You can control the width (flex) of each date/time item using the DateTimePickerItemFlex class:
ScrollDateTimePicker(
itemFlex: const DateTimePickerItemFlex(
weekdayFlex: 7,
dayFlex: 2,
monthFlex: 8,
yearFlex: 4,
),
),
copied to clipboard
In this example, the flex values for each item type (weekday, day, month, year) are specified.
Customize the Center Area of the Picker
You can customize the center area of the picker (usually the area that indicates the date/time chosen) using the DateTimePickerCenterWidget class. Users can choose to customize the center area for all items at once or individually for each date/time item:
ScrollDateTimePicker(
centerWidget: DateTimePickerCenterWidget(
builder: (context, constraints, child) => const DecoratedBox(
decoration: ShapeDecoration(
shape: StadiumBorder(side: BorderSide(width: 3)),
color: AppColor.secondary,
),
),
),
),
copied to clipboard
In this example, the center area is customized with a specific shape decoration and color.
Customize Each Item Based on Its State
You can customize each item on the date picker based on its state (active at the center area, non-active outside the center area, disabled if the item is invalid) using the itemBuilder parameter:
ScrollDateTimePicker(
itemBuilder: (context, pattern, text, isActive, isDisabled) =>
Text(
text,
style: TextStyle(
color: isDisabled
? Colors.grey
: isActive
? Colors.blue
: Colors.black,
),
),
),
copied to clipboard
In this example, the text style is customized based on whether the item is active or disabled.
Customize Using BoxDecoration
You can customize the visual aspects such as color, border, and border radius of the date/time picker using the DateTimePickerStyle class. Modify the BoxDecoration parameters to achieve your desired appearance:

ActiveDecoration: Style for the widget in the center area of the picker.
InactiveDecoration: Style for the widget outside the center area of the picker.
CenterDecoration: Style that will be applied to the center area of the picker.

Here's an example:
style: DateTimePickerStyle(
activeStyle: TextStyle(
fontSize: 24,
letterSpacing: -0.5,
color: Theme.of(context).primaryColor,
),
inactiveStyle: TextStyle(
fontSize: 20,
color: Theme.of(context).primaryColor.withOpacity(0.7),
),
disabledStyle: TextStyle(
fontSize: 20,
color: Theme.of(context).disabledColor,
),
),
copied to clipboard
In this example, the active, inactive, and disabled item of the picker is customized with a specific TextStyle

🧠 Smart Detection on Invalid Date and Leap Year Handling #

Ensure a smooth experience with intelligent handling of invalid dates and leap years.


If the picker wheel stops at a date before the minimum date or after the maximum date, it will automatically revert to the previous date.
If the picker wheel stops at an invalid date (e.g. 31 Jun 2021), the picker will automatically adjust the date. In this case, the day will automatically scrolled to be 30 Jun 2021
If the picker wheel stops at an invalid leap year date e.g. 30 Feb 2020, the picker will automatically fix the invalid value. In this case, the day will automatically scrolled to be 29 Feb 2020
