[REQ] [Dart2] Allow specifying Locale or DateFormat #18381
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
currently, the api.dart file generates the dateformatter as : final _dateFormatter = DateFormat('yyyy-MM-dd');
This is causing an issue in my app as I need to specify a fixed locale value for the DateFormat() constructor.
This is because the _dateFormatter formats dates according to the current app locale,
which can generate some unicode string dates which the server & the integrations do not accept;
They only accept english formatted dates.
Describe the solution you'd like
the ability to pass the locale to the constructor.
Describe alternatives you've considered
the ability to change the value of _dateFormatter (being var).
this seems to have been a point of discussion earlier, at #6389 (comment)
