How to format DateTime in Flutter

Question

I am trying to display the current DateTime in a Text widget after tapping on a button. The following works, but I\'d like to change the format.

Answer 1

Try out this package, Jiffy, it also runs on top of Intl, but makes it easier using momentjs syntax. See below

import 'package:jiffy/jiffy.dart';   

var now = Jiffy().format("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");

You can also do the following

var a = Jiffy().yMMMMd; // October 18, 2019

And you can also pass in your DateTime object, A string and an array

var a = Jiffy(DateTime(2019, 10, 18)).yMMMMd; // October 18, 2019

var a = Jiffy("2019-10-18").yMMMMd; // October 18, 2019

var a = Jiffy([2019, 10, 18]).yMMMMd; // October 18, 2019
