How to customize the time label in the Flutter Calendar?
In the Flutter Event Calendar, you can customize the time label text using the `timeFormat` property of `TimeSlotViewSettings` in `SfCalendar`.
STEP 1: In initState(), Initialize the default values for calendar view and custom text for the time label:
CalendarView _calendarView;
String _customTimeLabelText;
@override
void initState() {
_calendarView = CalendarView.week;
_customTimeLabelText='Cell';
super.initState();
}
STEP 2: Set the ‘timeRulerSize’ value as 0, to hide the time labels.
body: Column( children: <Widget>[ Expanded( child: SfCalendar( view: _calendarView, timeSlotViewSettings: TimeSlotViewSettings( timeRulerSize: 0, ), ), ), ], ),

STEP 3: Assign the custom time label text to the `timeFormat` property of the `TimeSlotViewSettings`. You can combine it with time format patterns for dynamic values:
body: Column( children: <Widget>[ Expanded( child: SfCalendar( viewHeaderStyle: ViewHeaderStyle(backgroundColor: viewHeaderColor), backgroundColor: calendarColor, view: CalendarView.week, controller: _controller, allowedViews: [ CalendarView.day, CalendarView.week, CalendarView.workWeek, CalendarView.timelineDay, CalendarView.timelineWeek, CalendarView.timelineWorkWeek ], dataSource: getCalendarDataSource(), timeSlotViewSettings: TimeSlotViewSettings( timelineAppointmentHeight: 500, timeRulerSize: 80, timeFormat: _customTimeLabelText! + ' hh', timeTextStyle: TextStyle( color: Colors.black, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold)), ), ), ], ),
Be careful when using DateTime format characters in your customization text. Any format characters will be interpreted as part of the time format.
For example, if you use 'hall' as your custom text, it will be displayed as 1AMll, 2AMll, 3AMll, etc. (where 'h' represents hour, 'a' represents AM/PM, and 'll' is treated as custom text).
