To Implement Date Picker on TextField()

In the beginning, you must include the intl Flutter in your dependency list to receive formatted date output from the date picker. Include the following line in the pubspec.yaml file to add the intl packages to the project you are working on.

For Date Picker, you can add this method. and set the start date year and last date year and the DateFormate for getting the string for a date. Also, you can set the team color of the date picker using with Theme.

DateTime currentDate = DateTime.now();
Future<void> _selectDate(BuildContext context) async {
  final DateTime? pickedDate = await showDatePicker(
      context: context,
      initialDate: currentDate,
      firstDate: DateTime(2015),
      lastDate: DateTime(2050),
    builder: (context, child) {
      return Theme(
        data: Theme.of(context).copyWith(
          colorScheme: ColorScheme.light(
            primary: COLOR_THEME, // <-- SEE HERE
            onPrimary: COLOR_GRAY, // <-- SEE HERE
            onSurface: Colors.blue, // <-- SEE HERE
          ),
          textButtonTheme: TextButtonThemeData(
            style: TextButton.styleFrom(
              primary: Colors.black, // button text color
            ),
          ),
        ),
        child: child!,
      );
    },
  );
  if (pickedDate != null && pickedDate != currentDate)
    setState(() {
      currentDate = pickedDate;
      formattedDate = DateFormat('yyyy-MM-dd').format(currentDate);
    });
}
