LIVE MOBILE PREVIEW

WelkDatePicker

An inline calendar with an editable YYYY-MM-DD field, controlled selection and date bounds.

Install

Terminal
flutter pub add welkui_flutter

Latest release: welkui_flutter 0.1.5 on pub.dev. Requires Dart 3.13.4+ and Flutter 3.35.0+.

Usage

Dart
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:welkui_flutter/welkui_flutter.dart';

class DatePickerExample extends StatefulWidget {
  const DatePickerExample({super.key});

  @override
  State<DatePickerExample> createState() => _DatePickerExampleState();
}

class _DatePickerExampleState extends State<DatePickerExample> {
  DateTime? _date;

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return WelkDatePicker(
      label: 'Departure date',
      value: _date,
      onChanged: (value) => setState(() => _date = value),
    );
  }
}

Same look as the React WelkDatePicker.

Variants and behavior

  • Calendar stays visible in the page
  • Month navigation and keyboard-operable date selection
  • Required-value and custom validation support

Usage notes and accessibility

  • Dates represent local civil days, not timestamps.
  • Invalid drafts and dates outside minDate/maxDate are never emitted.
  • Null onChanged disables text editing and calendar selection.
  • Use WelkDateInput for a compact field that opens a calendar dialog.

Constructor parameters

Required parameters are marked in the default column. Other parameters are optional.

Project setup, theming and typography

WelkUI Flutter targets Android and iOS. It uses Dart widgets, not the React package or its CSS stylesheet. Defaults work without a theme wrapper.

Override shared colors and strokes with WelkTheme and immutable WelkThemeData:

Dart
WelkTheme(
  data: const WelkThemeData().copyWith(
    accent: const Color(0xFFFFD166),
    ink: const Color(0xFF202020),
    paper: const Color(0xFFFFFDF5),
  ),
  child: WelkButton(
    onPressed: () {},
    child: const Text('Your colors. WelkUI character.'),
  ),
)

The Short Stack font is bundled and registered by the package, so you don't need to declare font assets or download fonts at runtime. To use it outside the widgets:

Dart
const Text(
  'Made with WelkUI',
  style: TextStyle(
    fontFamily: 'ShortStack',
    package: 'welkui_flutter',
    fontSize: 20,
  ),
)
