How to highlight the working and non-working hours in the Flutter Calendar

1 min read

In the Flutter Event Calendar, you can highlight the time slots for working and non-working hours using the ‘specialRegions’ property of Calendar.

STEP 1: Add the time region for working and non-working hour time slots using the ‘startTime’, ’endTime’ properties of the `TimeRegion`. Using recurrence rule property of the time region to repeat the time regions for all days after the start time date.

List<TimeRegion> _getTimeRegions() {
  final List<TimeRegion> regions = <TimeRegion>[];
  regions.add(TimeRegion(
      startTime: DateTime(2020, 5, 29, 00, 0, 0),
      endTime: DateTime(2020, 5, 29, 09, 0, 0),
      recurrenceRule: 'FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=1',
      color: Color(0xffbD3D3D3),
      enablePointerInteraction: false,
      ));
  regions.add(TimeRegion(
      startTime: DateTime(2020, 5, 29, 18, 0, 0),
      endTime: DateTime(2020, 5, 29, 24, 0, 0),
      recurrenceRule: 'FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=1',
      color: Color(0xffbD3D3D3),
      enablePointerInteraction: false,
      ));
  regions.add(TimeRegion(
      startTime: DateTime(2020, 5, 29, 09, 0, 0),
      endTime: DateTime(2020, 5, 29, 18, 0, 0),
      recurrenceRule: 'FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=1',
      color: Color(0xffb89cff0),
      enablePointerInteraction: false,
      ));
 
  return regions;
}

STEP 3: Call the _getTimeRegions() method to customize the specified time slot of the SfCalendar. Please find the code snippet for the same.

body: SafeArea(
  child: SfCalendar(
    view: CalendarView.week,
    allowedViews: [
      CalendarView.day,
      CalendarView.week,
      CalendarView.workWeek,
      CalendarView.timelineDay,
      CalendarView.timelineWeek,
      CalendarView.timelineWorkWeek,
    ],
    dataSource: getCalendarDataSource(),
    specialRegions: _getTimeRegions(),
  ),
),

Highlighted timeslots touch interaction can be enabled or disabled.
