Export CalendarDateRangePicker class at material public api #65108
Description
Use case
My design created his own style range date picker, but since CalendarDateRangePicker class is not exported /material/pickers/pickers.dart (only the function showDateRangePicker) we can use this as a widget, so we can customize, com compose anything with this function.
Proposal
at /material/pickers/pickers.dart
add CalendarDateRangePicker together with showDateRangePicker
dart export 'date_range_picker_dialog.dart' show showDateRangePicker, CalendarDateRangePicker;

Just import 'calendar_date_range_picker.dart'. Not sure what the issue here is?

@jhionan simply use this import line:
import 'package:flutter/src/material/pickers/calendar_date_range_picker.dart';jhionan commentedon Oct 16, 2020
When I propose this, calendar_date_range_picker was no accessible in public api of Flutter. It was inside the
date_range_picker_dialog.In another issue asking why this was not public Darren Austin said duo deadlines it was not ready, and asked to create this issue.
But I just test its solved.

Please don't import anything under a
srcdirectory directly. Those are internal implementation files and may change out from underneath you. The supported APIs are accessed by usingimport 'package:flutter/material.dart'. See the lib directory section of the packages guide for more detail.I am currently working on a PR that will restructure the date picker code and will be moving this file out of this location (see #69939 for more info). This or a subsequent PR will expose the CalendarDateRangePicker component as part of the public API with proper tests. If you import the current implementation from
src, your app will break when this lands.fer-ri commentedon Jan 1, 2021

@darrenaustin are you planning to land this in 1.26? if not can you update the milestone please?

Now that #69939 has landed this is a bigger issue than it used to be. The new options for a builder and custom text in showDateRangePicker are nice, but it still doesn't provide the ability to do a custom transition or style the close/save buttons yourself. My app has a custom animation and container for dialogs and I would like to make the date range picker match the rest of the dialogs in my app.

Understood. I have it almost ready, but I ran into an issue with parameter updates that I found when writing unit tests. I have been meaning to get back to this and finish it up, but have had other priority issues. I will make an effort to get this in as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience.

@darrenaustin That PR has passed but it is not part of the public API. Is it still on the plate ?
The date widgets are really limiting in their api surface.
