              }, currentTime: DateTime.now(), locale: LocaleType.en);
            },
            readOnly: true,
            decoration: InputDecoration(
              border: InputBorder.none,
              contentPadding: EdgeInsets.only(top: 14.0),
              prefixIcon: Icon(
                Icons.date_range_rounded,
                color: Colors.white,
                size: 28,
              ),
              hintText: " $_date",
              hintStyle: kHintTextStyle,
            ),
          ),
        ),
      ),
    ]);
  }

So in the TextformField I wanna check also if user has a minimum age of 18.Hope anyone can help. If you need more information please leave a comment .

Answer 1

  //the selected date
  var userSelectedDate = DateTime(1999, 12, 26);

  //the duration difference form the selected date to now in days
  var days = DateTime.now().difference(userSelectedDate).inDays;

  //the duration difference in years (the current age)
  var age = days ~/ 360;
