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

Use this function

todayDate() {
    var now = new DateTime.now();
    var formatter = new DateFormat('dd-MM-yyyy');
    String formattedTime = DateFormat('kk:mm:a').format(now);
    String formattedDate = formatter.format(now);
    print(formattedTime);
    print(formattedDate);
  }

Output:

08:41:AM
21-12-2019
