Question

I have an instance of Date(20201107) and I would like to format that to a String. How do I do that? I want to turn the date into a string, something like "07/11/2020". And I have an instance of Time(103942) become to "10:39:42".

How to implement in widget? thanks a lot.

I would suggest to use the `intl` package rather that `date_format:` — Tinus Jackson, Feb 27 '20 at 11:13

You can use a DateFormat, just include intl dependency to your pubspec.yaml

import 'package:intl/intl.dart';

DateTime now = DateTime.now();
String formattedDate = DateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy")format(now);
print(formattedDate);

Depending on what your requirements is, you can look at DateFormat

Some examples taken from DateFormat-class to help you a bit more.

String formattedDate = DateFormat.yMd(); // 7/10/1996
String formattedDate = DateFormat("yMd"); // 7/10/1996
String formattedDate = DateFormat.yMMMMd("en_US"); // July 10, 1996
