DatePicker

DatePicker provides an interactive calendar interface for selecting single dates or date ranges, with customizable formatting and validation options. It displays a text input that opens a calendar popup when clicked, offering both keyboard and mouse interaction.

Key features:

Flexible modes: Single date selection (default) or date range selection
Format customization: Support for various date formats (MM/dd/yyyy, yyyy-MM-dd, etc.)
Date restrictions: Set minimum/maximum dates and disable specific dates
Localization options: Configure first day of week and show week numbers

Properties

`autoFocus` (default: false)

If this property is set to true, the component gets the focus automatically when displayed.

`dateFormat` (default: "MM/dd/yyyy")

The format of the date displayed in the input field

Available values: MM/dd/yyyy (default), MM-dd-yyyy, yyyy/MM/dd, yyyy-MM-dd, dd/MM/yyyy, dd-MM-yyyy, yyyyMMdd, MMddyyyy

Formats handle years (y), months (m or M), days of the month (d). Providing multiple placeholder letters changes the display of the date.

The table below shows the available date formats:

Format	Example
MM/dd/yyyy	05/25/2024
MM-dd-yyyy	05-25-2024
yyyy/MM/dd	2024/05/25
yyyy-MM-dd	2024-05-25
dd/MM/yyyy	25/05/2024
dd-MM-yyyy	25-05-2024
yyyyMMdd	20240525
MMddyyyy	05252024

<App>
  <DatePicker 
    inline 
    dateFormat="dd-MM-yyyy" 
    initialValue="05/25/2024" />
</App>

Example: dateFormat

<App>
  <DatePicker 
    inline 
    dateFormat="dd-MM-yyyy" 
    initialValue="05/25/2024" />
</App>

`disabledDates`

An optional array of dates that are disabled

The disabledDates prop supports multiple patterns for disabling specific dates in the calendar. You can use Date objects, strings (parsed using the dateFormat), or complex matcher objects.

Basic patterns:

Pattern	Description	Example
Single string	Disable one specific date	`"05/25/2024"`
Array of strings	Disable multiple specific dates	`["05/25/2024", "05/26/2024"]`
Boolean	Disable all dates	`true`

You can use the getDate() function to query the current date.

<App>
  <DatePicker 
    inline 
    disabledDates="{['05/26/2024', '05/27/2024']}" 
    initialValue="05/25/2024" />
</App>

Example: Disable specific dates

<App>
  <DatePicker 
    inline 
    disabledDates="{['05/26/2024', '05/27/2024']}" 
    initialValue="05/25/2024" />
</App>

Advanced patterns:

Pattern	Description	Example
Date range	Disable a range of dates	`{from: "05/20/2024", to: "05/25/2024"}`
Day of week	Disable specific weekdays (0=Sunday, 6=Saturday)	`{dayOfWeek: [0, 6]}`
Before date	Disable all dates before a specific date	`{before: "05/25/2024"}`
After date	Disable all dates after a specific date	`{after: "05/25/2024"}`
Date interval	Disable dates between two dates (exclusive)	`{before: "05/30/2024", after: "05/20/2024"}`

<App>
  <DatePicker inline disabledDates="{{dayOfWeek: [0, 6]}}" />
</App>

Example: Disable weekends

<App>
  <DatePicker inline disabledDates="{{dayOfWeek: [0, 6]}}" />
</App>

<App>
  <DatePicker 
    inline 
    disabledDates="{{from: '05/20/2024', to: '05/25/2024'}}" 
    initialValue="05/18/2024" />
</App>

Example: Disable date range

<App>
  <DatePicker 
    inline 
    disabledDates="{{from: '05/20/2024', to: '05/25/2024'}}" 
    initialValue="05/18/2024" />
</App>

<App>
  <DatePicker
    inline 
    disabledDates="{{before: getDate()}}"
    intialValue="{getDate()}"/>
</App>

Example: Disable dates before today

<App>
  <DatePicker
    inline 
    disabledDates="{{before: getDate()}}"
    intialValue="{getDate()}"/>
</App>

<App>
  <DatePicker
    inline 
    disabledDates="{[getDate(), {after: getDate()}]}"
    intialValue="{getDate()}"/>
</App>

Example: Disable dates today and after

<App>
  <DatePicker
    inline 
    disabledDates="{[getDate(), {after: getDate()}]}"
    intialValue="{getDate()}"/>
</App>

<App>

    inline
    disabledDates="{[
    {dayOfWeek: [0, 6]}, 
    {from: '12/24/2024', to: '12/26/2024'}, 
    '01/01/2025']}" 
    initialValue="12/20/2024"
/>
</App>

Example: Complex combination

    inline
    disabledDates="{[
    {dayOfWeek: [0, 6]}, 
    {from: '12/24/2024', to: '12/26/2024'},

Events

`didChange`

This event is triggered when value of DatePicker has changed.

Write in the input field and see how the Text underneath it is updated in parallel.

<App var.field="(none)">
  <Text value="{field}" />
  <DatePicker 
    inline
    initialValue="{field}" 
    onDidChange="(val) => field = val" />
</App>

Example: didChange

<App var.field="(none)">
  <Text value="{field}" />
  <DatePicker 
    inline
    initialValue="{field}" 
    onDidChange="(val) => field = val" />
</App>

`gotFocus`

This event is triggered when the DatePicker has received the focus.

Clicking on the DatePicker in the example demo changes the label text. Note how clicking elsewhere resets the text to the original.

<App var.isFocused="false">
  <Text value="{isFocused === true 
    ? 'DatePicker focused' : 'DatePicker lost focus'}" 
  />
  <DatePicker
    onGotFocus="isFocused = true"
    onLostFocus="isFocused = false"
  />
</App>

Example: gotFocus/lostFocus

<App var.isFocused="false">
  <Text value="{isFocused === true 
    ? 'DatePicker focused' : 'DatePicker lost focus'}" 
  />
  <DatePicker
    onGotFocus="isFocused = true"
    onLostFocus="isFocused = false"
  />
</App>

`lostFocus`

This event is triggered when the DatePicker has lost the focus.
