change the datetime format in flutter, to leave it only with the date

I would like to know how I can change the datetime format in flutter, to leave it only with the date. I also want to know if there is another widget that only contains the date.

Thanks

You can get the day month and year from DateTime object and convert it to string.

DateTime today = DateTime.now();
print(today); // prints 2019-12-15 00:00:00.000
DatetTime date = DateTime(today.year, today.month, today.day).toString().substring(0,10); 
print(date); // prints 2019-12-15

hope this helps

You can use DateFormat from intl package. With it you can custom to any format that you need.

Add to pubspec.yaml

dependencies:
  intl: ^0.15.7

On Dart code:

import 'package:intl/intl.dart';

final dateFormatter = DateFormat('yyyy-MM-dd');
final dateString = dateFormatter.format(DateTime.now());

Then you can put the string into any widget. Example:

Text(dateString)

Make a new DateTime and get the day from that:

var date = DateTime.now();
var result = "${date.year}/${date.month}/${date.day}";
print(result);  // prints 2019/3/6
