          firstDate: DateTime.now(),
          initialDate: currentValue ?? DateTime.now(),
          lastDate: DateTime(2100),
        );
      },
    );

Answer 1

You can use this:

var now = new DateTime.now();
var dateFormatted = DateFormat("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss").format(now);

You have to add the "Z" at the end of the String because is a Char used to format the TimeZone.

You can check it there -> https://pub.dev/documentation/intl/latest/intl/DateFormat-class.html

Answer 2

You can refer to DateFormat class here https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/intl/DateFormat-class.html It has a constructor where you can put your pattern.

    final format = new DateFormat('yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ','en-US');
