DateInputFormatter #

A Dart package that provides a custom TextInputFormatter for formatting and validating date input in Flutter.

Note: This package is the improved version of pattern_formatter package by adding validations to DateInputFormatter.

Installation #

Add dateinputformatter as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  dateinputformatter: ^1.0.0

How to use #

import 'package:date_input_formatter/date_input_formatter.dart';

Usage #

I strongly suggest these below parts while using this package to prevent undesired problems:

• set enableInteractiveSelection to false,
• also use FilteringTextInputFormatter.allow(RegExp(r'[0-9/-]'))

    TextField(
        enableInteractiveSelection: false,
        inputFormatters: [
            FilteringTextInputFormatter.allow(RegExp(r'[0-9/-]')),
            DateInputFormatter(),
        ],
        decoration: const InputDecoration(border: OutlineInputBorder()),
    ),
