SILDatePickerField class

SILDatePickerField customized for date selection. Example

SILDatePickerField(
  context: context,
  allowCurrentYear: true,
  labelText: 'Diagnosis date',
  hintText: 'Select Diagnosis date',
  controller: diagnosisDateController,
  keyboardType: TextInputType.dateTime,
  onChanged: (dynamic value) {
    <do-something-awesome-here>
  },
  validator: (dynamic value) {
  if (value.isEmpty || value == null) {
  return 'Please select diagnosis date';
  }
  return null;
  },
  onSaved: (dynamic value) {
    <do-something-awesome-here>
  },
),
  • This widget used an AbsorbPointer widget so as to make it easier to access when doing hit testing
  • This widget also wraps the SILFormTextField() widget above so that the selector can also act as an input

The properties in this widget are the normal material date picker fields with a few tweaks and customizations namely:

  1. allowCurrentYear allows the date picker widget to alow dates to include the current year that can be gotten from DateTime().now.year
  2. allowFutureYears allows the date picker to accept date selection of future dates
  3. allowEligibleDate - allows selection of dates up to the eligible year which is defined in lib/shared/constants/date_time/date_time_constants.dart

Constructors

SILDatePickerField({required TextEditingController controller, FormFieldSetter<String>? onChanged, Key? gestureDateKey, Key? textFieldDateKey, FormFieldSetter<String>? onSaved, String? labelText, String? hintText, FocusNode? focusNode, TextInputType? keyboardType, FormFieldValidator<String>? validator, Icon? suffixIcon, bool? enabled, bool allowCurrentYear = false, bool allowFutureYears = false, bool allowEligibleDate = false, DateTime? customEligibleYear})
To set the initial value of the field, set the text property of the controller. E.g:
