How to customize the header view of the flutter date range picker?

## How to customize the header view of the Flutter date range picker?
2+
3+
In the flutter date range picker, you can add your custom header, and it can be achieved by hiding the default header and placing your custom header in the date range picker.
4+
5+
## Step 1:
6+
Set the `headerHeight` property value to 0 to hide the default header. Please find the following image for date picker without header.
7+
8+
```xml
9+
body: Column(
10+
children: <Widget>[
11+
Card(
12+
margin: const EdgeInsets.fromLTRB(50, 0, 50, 50),
13+
child: SfDateRangePicker(
14+
controller: _controller,
15+
view: DateRangePickerView.month,
16+
headerHeight: 0,
17+
)
18+
],
19+
);
20+
```
21+

22+
23+
## Step 2:
24+
For design own custom header using the Row widget inside the Column widget for the header customization.
25+
26+
```xml
27+
Row(
28+
children: <Widget>[
29+
Container(
30+
height: cellWidth,
31+
width: cellWidth + 10,
32+
),
33+
Container(
34+
width: cellWidth,
35+
height: cellWidth,
36+
color: Color(0xFFfa697c),
37+
child: IconButton(
38+
icon: Icon(Icons.arrow_left),
39+
color: Colors.white,
40+
iconSize: 20,
41+
highlightColor: Colors.lightGreen,
42+
onPressed: () {
43+
setState(() {
44+
_controller.backward();
45+
});
46+
},
47+
)),
48+
Container(
49+
color: Color(0xFFfa697c),
50+
height: cellWidth,
51+
width: cellWidth * 4.5,
52+
child: Text(headerString,
53+
textAlign: TextAlign.center,
54+
style: TextStyle(
55+
fontSize: 25, color: Colors.white, height: 1.4)),
56+
),
57+
Container(
58+
width: cellWidth,
59+
height: cellWidth,
60+
color: Color(0xFFfa697c),
61+
child: IconButton(
62+
icon: Icon(Icons.arrow_right),
63+
color: Colors.white,
64+
highlightColor: Colors.lightGreen,
65+
onPressed: () {
66+
setState(() {
67+
_controller.forward();
68+
});
69+
},
70+
)),
71+
Container(
72+
height: cellWidth,
73+
width: cellWidth,
74+
)
75+
],
76+
),
77+
```
78+
## Step 3:
79+
Then, add the custom header in the date range picker.
80+
81+
```xml
82+
Card(
83+
margin: const EdgeInsets.fromLTRB(50, 0, 50, 50),
84+
child: SfDateRangePicker(
85+
controller: _controller,
86+
view: DateRangePickerView.month,
87+
headerHeight: 0,
88+
onViewChanged: viewChanged,
89+
monthViewSettings: DateRangePickerMonthViewSettings(
90+
showTrailingAndLeadingDates: true,
91+
viewHeaderStyle: DateRangePickerViewHeaderStyle(
92+
backgroundColor: Color(0xFFfcc169))),
93+
monthCellStyle: DateRangePickerMonthCellStyle(
94+
cellDecoration: BoxDecoration(color: Color(0xFF6fb98f)),
95+
leadingDatesDecoration:
96+
BoxDecoration(color: Color(0xFF6fb98f)),
97+
trailingDatesDecoration:
98+
BoxDecoration(color: Color(0xFF6fb98f)))),
99+
)
100+
```
101+
102+
## Step 4:
103+
Using the `onViewChanged` callback of the date picker, you can get the mid date of the visible date range and assign it to the header string.
104+
105+
```xml
106+
void viewChanged(DateRangePickerViewChangedArgs args) {
107+
_startDate = (args.visibleDateRange.startDate
108+
.difference(args.visibleDateRange.endDate)
109+
.inDays);
110+
var middleDate = (_startDate ~/ 2).toInt();
111+
midDate = args.visibleDateRange.startDate.add(Duration(days: middleDate));
112+
headerString = DateFormat('MMMM yyyy').format(midDate).toString();
113+
SchedulerBinding.instance.addPostFrameCallback((duration) {
114+
setState(() {});
115+
});
116+
}
117+
```
