How to highlight the weekends in the Flutter Calendar?

1 min read

In the Flutter Event Calendar, you can highlight the time slots for weekends using the ‘specialRegions’ property of Calendar.

STEP 1: Add the time region for weekends using the ‘startTime’, ’endTime’ properties of the `TimeRegion`. Using recurrence rule property of the time region to repeat the time regions with all the weekends 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, 24, 0, 0),
      recurrenceRule: 'FREQ=WEEKLY;INTERVAL=1;BYDAY=SAT,SUN',
      color: Color(0xffbD3D3D3),
   ));
 
  return regions;
}

STEP 2: 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,
    dataSource: getCalendarDataSource(),
    specialRegions: _getTimeRegions(),
  ),
),

Highlighted timeslots touch interaction can be enabled or disabled.
