Is your feature request related to a problem?

Right now the date format in ChannelLastMessageDate follows MM/DD/YYYY via Jiffy.yMd by default. But we'd like to show date as DD/MM/YYYY format. There's no way to customize the date format without copying the library code and re-implementing ChannelLastMessageDate. StreamTimestamp already accepts a DateFormatter formatter.

Describe the solution that you'd like

Add parameter to ChannelLastMessageDate which passes DateFormatter formatter down to StreamTimestamp.

Hey @thecodepapaya , the locale is automatically applied to Jiffy based on the supported locale you pass in the MaterialApp.

Can you share your MaterialApp code and how you are passing locales?

[thecodepapaya]

@xsahil03x We do not passing any locales in MaterialApp.

[xsahil03x]

@thecodepapaya , by default MaterialApp uses en_US as the locale, you can pass the current locale as en_GB if you want to use the format dd/mm/yyyy.

MaterialApp.router(
  ...,
  locale: const Locale('en', 'GB'),
  supportedLocales: const [Locale('en', 'GB')],
)

Thank you, this can work in these circumstances. But is there a way to customize the date format to something beyond the default .yMd() format? Eg. Showing 23 May instead of 23/05 ?

Hey @thecodepapaya , I added this to our backlog. Thanks
