getdate_textfield

A highly customizable, modern date input field for Flutter. It allows users to fill in a date either by typing directly into the field (with automatic masking and validation) or by selecting it from a beautifully animated calendar overlay.

Built with Flutter's modern OverlayPortal architecture, it guarantees zero memory leaks and perfect theme inheritance.

✨ Features

• Dual Input: Type the date directly (with dd/MM/yyyy masking) or pick it from the calendar.
• Modern Architecture: Uses OverlayPortal instead of traditional OverlayEntry for rock-solid performance, automatic lifecycle management, and accurate context/theme inheritance.
• Smart Positioning: The calendar overlay automatically calculates screen space and opens either below or above the text field to prevent clipping.
• Highly Customizable: Tweak colors, borders, overlay dimensions, and padding through clean configuration classes (DateFieldDecorationConfig and DateOverlayConfig).
• Validation & Debouncing: Built-in validation ensures dates fall within your specified firstDate and lastDate ranges, with customizable error messages.
