How to restrict date range picker within the date limit in the Flutter Date Range Picker (SfDateRangePicker)?
In the Flutter Date Range Picker, you can restrict the swiping behavior using the `minDate` and `maxDate` property.
Step 1:
In initState(), set the default values for min and max dates.
late DateTime _minDate, _maxDate;
@override
void initState() {
_minDate=DateTime(2020,3,5,9,0,0);
_maxDate=DateTime(2020,3,25,9,0,0);
super.initState();
}
Step 2:
Place the date picker inside the body of the Scaffold widget with the mentioned min and max date.
body: Card(
margin: const EdgeInsets.fromLTRB(50, 150, 50, 150),
child: SfDateRangePicker(
view: DateRangePickerView.month,
minDate: _minDate,
maxDate: _maxDate,
),
)
Step 3:
Please find the entire code for the date restriction as follows.
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:syncfusion_flutter_datepicker/datepicker.dart';
void main() => runApp(SwipeRestriction());
class SwipeRestriction extends StatelessWidget {
// This widget is the root of your application.
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false ,
home: ViewRestriction(),
);
}
}
class ViewRestriction extends StatefulWidget {
@override
_ViewRestrictionState createState() => _ViewRestrictionState();
}
class _ViewRestrictionState extends State<ViewRestriction> {
late DateTime _minDate, _maxDate;
@override
void initState() {
_minDate=DateTime(2020,3,5,9,0,0);
_maxDate=DateTime(2020,3,25,9,0,0);
super.initState();
}
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
body: Card(
margin: const EdgeInsets.fromLTRB(40, 150, 40, 150),
child: SfDateRangePicker(
view: DateRangePickerView.month,
minDate: _minDate,
maxDate: _maxDate,
),
)
);
}
}

Hi Jawad,
Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.
Regarding Query: How to restrict a user to only select week days between monday and sunday.
Based on the shared information, we have checked and your requirement is “Restrict the date selection except Monday and Sunday dates”. By using the blackoutDates property, you can restrict the selection for specific dates through onViewChanged callback of the calendar. We have prepared the simple sample for the same. Please find the sample from the following link.
Code snippet:
void viewChanged(DateRangePickerViewChangedArgs args) {
DateTime date;
DateTime startDate = args.visibleDateRange.startDate!;
DateTime endDate = args.visibleDateRange.endDate!;
List<DateTime> _blackDates = <DateTime>[];
for (date = startDate;
date.isBefore(endDate) || date == endDate;
date = date.add(const Duration(days: 1))) {
if (date.weekday == DateTime.monday ||
date.weekday == DateTime.sunday ) {
continue;
}
_blackDates.add(date);
}
SchedulerBinding.instance!.addPostFrameCallback((timeStamp) {
setState(() {
_blackoutDateCollection = _blackDates;
});
});
}
We have a KB document to restrict the date selection. Please find the KB document from the following link.
We hope that this helps you. Please let us know if you need further assistance.
