Custom date formats always use english locale #116716
Description
Description
When using placeholder for DateTimes with custom formatting, flutter always uses the custom format from english.
Steps to Reproduce
- Setup Localization as per official docs
- Fill localization with custom date formats:
// app_en.arb
{
"date": "{date}",
"@date": {
"placeholders": {
"date": {
"type": "DateTime",
"format": "MM/dd/yyyy",
"isCustomDateFormat": "true"
}
}
}
}
// app_de.arb
{
"date": "{date}",
"@date": {
"placeholders": {
"date": {
"type": "DateTime",
"format": "dd.MM.yyyy",
"isCustomDateFormat": "true"
}
}
}
}
- run
flutter gen-l10n - Look into the generated code for de_locale: .dart_tool/flutter_gen/gen_l10n/app_localization_de.dart
Expected results:
I expect the generated format to be dd.MM.yyyy
String date(DateTime date) {
final intl.DateFormat dateDateFormat = intl.DateFormat('dd.MM.yyyy', localeName);
final String dateString = dateDateFormat.format(date);
return '$dateString';
}
Actual results:
But the generated format is MM/dd/yyyy
String date(DateTime date) {
final intl.DateFormat dateDateFormat = intl.DateFormat('MM/dd/yyyy', localeName);
final String dateString = dateDateFormat.format(date);
return '$dateString';
}
