Persian DatePicker & DateTime Manipulation
A persian ( farsi ) datepicker for flutter.
to see an example of date conversion and manipulation, refer to DateTime section in this page.
Usage
A simple example with a TextField which turns into a datepicker
/*Inline DatePicker*/
persianDatePicker = PersianDatePicker(
controller: textEditingController,
datetime: '1397/06/19',
).init();
....
returnColumn(
children: <Widget>[
// Simple Date PickerContainer(
child: persianDatePicker, // just pass `persianDatePicker` variable as child with no ( )
),
// you can omit TextField when using datepicker as inlineTextField(
enableInteractiveSelection: false,
controller: textEditingController,
),
],
);
Customized DatePicker
You can customize datepicker as you wish, there are a lot of options to set, below code is just a few of them.
/*Customized Font Family ( Farsi Digits )*/
persianDatePicker = PersianDatePicker(
controller: textEditingController,
farsiDigits: true
).init();
Or if you have a font which supports farsi digits then you can simply pass the font name and everything would be ok
اگر فونتی در برنامه استفاده کرده اید که قابلیت نمایش اعداد فارسی را دارد تنها لازم است اسم فونت را به دیت پیکر بدهید
/*Customized Font Family ( Farsi Digits )*/
persianDatePicker = PersianDatePicker(
controller: textEditingController,
fontFamily: 'Vazir'// here I used Vazir font
).init();
Events
onChange: fires after tapping on a day. It has two arguments, oldText and newText which represents the value of datepicker before-tap and after-tap respectively.
You can now use following methods with PersianDateTime instances implemented methods:
toJalaali( format ) // see output formats
toGregorian( format ) // see output formats
isAfter
isBefore
difference
isEqual
add
subtract
All above methods work on persian ( farsi ) dates. if you want to work with gregorian datetime use Dart DateTime class
PersianDateTime persianDate1 = PersianDateTime(jalaaliDateTime: '1397/06/09'); // default is now/*
persianDate1 contains following properties
jalaaliYear 1397
jalaaliMonth 6
jalaaliDay 9
jalaaliShortYear 97
jalaaliZeroLeadingMonth 06
jalaaliZeroLeadingDay 09
jalaaliMonthName شهریور
gregorianYear 2018
gregorianMonth 8
gregorianDay 31
gregorianShortYear 18
gregorianZeroLeadingDay 31
gregorianZeroLeadingMonth 08
gregorianMonthName October
gregorianShortMonthName Oct
datetime Dart DateTime class of current persian date
*/print(persianDate1.toGregorian()); // 2018-08-31print(persianDate1.datetime); // 2018-08-31 00:00:00.000PersianDateTime persianDate2 = persianDate1.add(Duration(days: 10));
print(persianDate2.isBefore(persianDate1)); // falseprint(persianDate2.isAfter(persianDate1)); // trueprint(persianDate2.difference(persianDate1).inDays); // 10print(persianDate2.difference(persianDate1).inHours); // 240PersianDateTime persianDate3 = PersianDateTime(); // default is nowprint(persianDate3.isEqual(persianDate1)); // false// you can accept date as gregorian using `.fromGregorian` constructor. it will automatically convert into jalaali datePersianDateTime persianDate3 = PersianDateTime.fromGregorian(); // default is nowprint(persianDate3.toJalaali(format: 'YYYY/MM/DD')); // 1397/11/19
Output formats
YYYY full year YY 2 digits year MMMM full month name ( doesn't work in datepicker ) MMM short month name ( this only works in gregorian dates and also doesn't work in datepicker ) MM leading zero month digit M month without leading zero DD leading zero day digit D day without leading zero
Important Notes نکات مهم
up to this version all output dates are in persian.
تا این نسخه تمام تاریخ های خروجی پارسی(جلالی) هستند
rangeSeparator and your custom date separator should not be equal, otherwise datepicker will return null
مقدار ورودی rangeSeparator و جداکننده ای که برای فرمت خروجی انتخاب کرده اید نباید یکی باشند در این صورت دیت پیکر خروجی جداکننده های محدوده و خروجی مشابه هستند برمیگرداند
Persian input dates must respect YYYY/MM/DD format. output format is up to you
Gregorian input dates must respect YYYY-MM-DD format. output format is persian and up to you
فرمت تاریخ های ورودی که پارسی (جلالی) هستند باید بصورت
YYYY/MM/DD
باشد. فرمت خروجی به دلخواه شماست
فرمت تاریخ های ورودی که میلادی هستند باید بصورت
YYYY-MM-DD
باشد. فرمت تاریخ خروجی، پارسی و به دلخواه شما خواهد بود
Version 1.3 features
/// حداکثر تاریخی که میتوان در دیت پیکر انتخاب کرد
String maxDatetime;
/// حداقل تاریخی که میتوان در دیت پیکر انتخاب کرد
String minDatetime;
/// حداکثر فاصله ای که تاریخ شروع و تاریخ پایان میتوانند نسبت به یکدیگر داشته باشند
Duration maxSpan;
/// حداقل فاصله ای که تاریخ شروع و تاریخ پایان میتوانند نسبت به یکدیگر داشته باشند
Duration minSpan;
in order to update these options programmatically you can use update method, like so
...
FlatButton(
onPressed: () {
minSpan = Duration(days: 10);
setState(() {
// here you can update the options
persianDatePicker.update(
minSpan: minSpan,
minDatetime: '1397/12/19',
maxDatetime: '1397/12/29');
});
},
child: Container(
child: Text('Update Datepicker'),
),
)
...
