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

Here's my simple solution. That does not require any dependency.

However, the date will be in string format. If you want the time then change the substring values

print(new DateTime.now()
            .toString()
            .substring(0,10)
     );   // 2020-06-10
