In Flutter app, intl package load only 15 languages. However Dart DateFormat support many more. I do not need translation, but need correct DateFormat
. How to load all DateFormat
locale?
In your highest StatefulWidget add these imports
import 'package:intl/intl.dart';
import 'package:intl/date_symbol_data_local.dart';
in its State, override initState and add
@override
void initState() {
super.initState();
initializeDateFormatting();
}
For example
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:intl/intl.dart';
import 'package:intl/date_symbol_data_local.dart';
void main() => runApp(new MyApp());
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new MaterialApp(
title: 'Intl Demo',
theme: new ThemeData(
primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
),
home: new MyHomePage(title: 'Intl Demo Home Page'),
);
}
}
class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
MyHomePage({Key key, this.title}) : super(key: key);
final String title;
@override
_MyHomePageState createState() => new _MyHomePageState();
}
class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
DateFormat dateFormat;
DateFormat timeFormat;
@override
void initState() {
super.initState();
initializeDateFormatting();
dateFormat = new DateFormat.yMMMMd('cs');
timeFormat = new DateFormat.Hms('cs');
}
void _refresh() {
setState(() {});
}
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
var dateTime = new DateTime.now();
return new Scaffold(
appBar: new AppBar(
title: new Text(widget.title),
),
body: new Center(
child: new Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
children: <Widget>[
new Text(dateFormat.format(dateTime)),
new Text(timeFormat.format(dateTime)),
],
),
),
floatingActionButton: new FloatingActionButton(
onPressed: _refresh,
tooltip: 'Refresh',
child: new Icon(Icons.refresh),
),
);
}
}
Dart mostly uses the ISO 631 2 letter codes, with country variants if applicable. For example: ja, en_US, en_GB, zh_HK, zh_CN
. Occasionally it uses a 3 letter code. To find the full list just search for DateSymbols
in the file date_symbol_data_local.dart
