Flutter - date format for print date like MMMdy-CodePudding

I need to display date like 22 Dec 2021. How could I achieve this? DateFormat.yMMMd().format(date) this gives date like Dec 22, 2021.

CodePudding user response：

Yes, first import package:intl/intl.dart then :

 DateTime now = DateTime.now();
 String formatted = DateFormat('dd MMM yyyy').format(now);
 print(formatted); // prints 22 Dec 2021

CodePudding user response：

You will need to use intl package for this. Date formatting works using skeletons. In this case what we need is dd, MM and yyyy skeleton.

  final DateFormat formatter = DateFormat('dd MMM yyyy');
  print(formatter.format(date));

Let's say you want 22/Dec/2021 for any reason, you can just paas dd/MMM/yyyy to DateFormat and the date will be returned as needed. You can get a list of all skeletons here. The yMMMd function you have used here uses skeletons under the hood. These are just some of the more common ones.
