Persian Datetime Pickers

Persian Datetime Pickers gives Flutter apps compact numeric date and time dialogs for Persian (Jalali) and Gregorian workflows. You use it when the standard Material date picker is too calendar-heavy and you want a small picker that stays clear in Persian, English, right-to-left, and left-to-right screens.

The package returns normal Flutter values: DateTime, milliseconds since epoch, and TimeOfDay. It supports custom labels, custom text styles, date ranges, Jalali conversion, and simple formatting helpers.

At a Glance

Surface	What you get
Jalali date picker	Numeric year, month, and day picker with Persian labels by default.
Gregorian date picker	Same dialog shape with English labels and Gregorian date output.
Time picker	24-hour picker with valid 00:00 through 23:59 support.
Range control	firstDate and lastDate clamp the selectable year, month, and day values.
Styling	PersianDateTimeStyle controls accent color and text styles.
Formatting helpers	toPersianDate(), toFancyString(), and TimeOfDay.toFancyString().

Quick Start

Requirements: Flutter >= 3.10 and Dart >= 3.0.

dependencies:
  persian_datetimepickers: ^1.1.1

import 'package:persian_datetimepickers/persian_datetimepickers.dart';

Date Picker

Default behavior: the picker opens in Jalali mode and returns a Gregorian DateTime.

final date = await showPersianDatePicker(
  context: context,
  initialDate: DateTime.now(),
  firstDate: DateTime(2020),
  lastDate: DateTime(2035, 12, 31),
);

if (date != null) {
  print(date.toPersianDate());
}

Use Gregorian mode when you want English labels and Gregorian number ranges:

final date = await showPersianDatePicker(
  context: context,
  isJalali: false,
  initialDate: DateTime(2024, 2, 29),
);

Use the timestamp helper when storage needs milliseconds:

final timestamp = await showPersianDatePickerTimestamp(
  context: context,
  firstDate: DateTime(2020),
  lastDate: DateTime(2035, 12, 31),
);

Time Picker

Default behavior: the picker uses a 24-hour clock and returns TimeOfDay.

final time = await showPersianTimePicker(
  context: context,
  initialTime: const TimeOfDay(hour: 0, minute: 5),
);

if (time != null) {
  print(time.toFancyString()); // 00:05
}

Labels

Override any visible dialog label without replacing the picker UI:

await showPersianDatePicker(
  context: context,
  titleText: 'Select deadline',
  yearLabelText: 'Year',
  monthLabelText: 'Month',
  dayLabelText: 'Day',
  cancelText: 'Back',
  saveText: 'Use date',
);

The time picker accepts the same titleText, cancelText, and saveText parameters, plus hourLabelText and minuteLabelText.

Styling

Set the accent color and text styles with PersianDateTimeStyle:

await showPersianDatePicker(
  context: context,
  persianDateTimeStyle: PersianDateTimeStyle(
    color: Colors.purple,
    headingStyle: const TextStyle(fontSize: 22, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),
    titleStyle: const TextStyle(fontSize: 18, fontWeight: FontWeight.w600),
    numbersStyle: const TextStyle(fontSize: 16),
  ),
);
