How to highlight the weekends in the Flutter Calendar?

5 mins 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 and recurrenceRule properties of the TimeRegion class. The recurrence rule allows you to repeat the time regions for all weekends after the specified start 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 and assign its return value to the specialRegions property of the SfCalendar widget:

body: SafeArea(
  child: SfCalendar(
    view: CalendarView.week,
    dataSource: getCalendarDataSource(),
    specialRegions: _getTimeRegions(),
  ),
),

Highlighted timeslots touch interaction can be enabled or disabled.
