Solution 1

You can use intl package. Consider a code snippet like a below:

main() {
  final DateTime now = DateTime.now();
  final DateFormat formatter = DateFormat('yyyy-MM-dd');
  final String formatted = formatter.format(now);
  print(formatted); // something like 2021-06-19
}

Solution 2

There is a pretty straightforward way to read dates and write them in any format. Here is just one sample:

DateFormat.yMMMEd().format(DateTime.parse("2021-01-23 19:26:00"))

Here is the article about working with dates.

Here is the sample to localize the date with Intl package:

Intl.defaultLocale = 'es';
DateFormat.jm().format(DateTime.now());
