How do I use the SelectableDayPredicate to limit my DatePicker to only weekdays?


I have implemented a DatePicker to my Flutter application. I am trying to limit the picker to only allow the users to choose weekdays. However, I am not sure how to do this. I believe it has got to do with the SelectableDayPredicate. Below is a snippet of my code:

Future<Null> _selectDate(BuildContext context) async {
  final DateTime picked = await showDatePicker(
    context: context,
    initialDate: _date,
    firstDate: new DateTime(DateTime.now().year),
    lastDate: new DateTime(DateTime.now().year+1),
    // to do: I am pretty sure the SelectableDayPredicate should go somewhere here.
  );

  if (picked != null && picked != _date) {
    setState(() {
      _date = picked;
    });
  }
}

The _selectDate function is called when the user taps on the listTile.


Solution

  • Here is an example where I omit Fridays and Saturdays from the picker, you can follow the logic here to achieve what you want:

    selectableDayPredicate: (DateTime val) =>
                val.weekday == 5 || val.weekday == 6 ? false : true,
