BirthPicker Flutter Package

A customizable date picker widget for Flutter applications, designed specifically for selecting birth dates. It offers a seamless user experience by supporting platform-specific date pickers (Cupertino for iOS and Material for Android) and customizable UI components.

Keyboard Input Example	iOS Date Picker Example	Android Date Picker Example

Features

• Supports both iOS-style (Cupertino) and Android-style (Material) date pickers.
• Auto-formats date fields (year, month, day) and validates input.
• Supports localization with customizable date field order.
• Flexible input options:
  • Allows users to enter the date directly using the keyboard.
  • Provides an icon button to easily select the date using a platform-specific date picker.

Installation

1. Add the following line to your pubspec.yaml under dependencies:

   birth_picker: ^1.1.1

2. Run the following command to install the package:

   flutter pub get

3. Import it:

   import 'package:birth_picker/birth_picker.dart';

Usage

Before using the BirthPicker widget, initialize date formatting by calling initializeDateFormatting() in your main function, as it depends on the intl package for handling localized date formats:

import 'package:birth_picker/birth_picker.dart';

void main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  await initializeDateFormatting(); // Important: Initialize date formatting
  runApp(const MyApp());
}
