DatePicker

A wrapper around a text input element that allows the user to type in a date and/or select a date from a calendar pop-up.

DatePicker

DatePicker Properties

<DatePicker
  name="myDatePicker"
  id="myDatePicker"
  displayFormat="MM/DD/YYYY"
  returnFormat="YYYY-MM-DD"
  value={date}
  onChange={this.handleDateChange}
  placeholder="MM/DD/YYYY"
  error={dateError}
  inputSize="lg"
  autoOpen
  autoClose
  />

name

Name assigned to the outer html div containing the DatePicker. Defaults to "DatePicker". The following sub-controls will be given the same name as the name of the main div with an appropriate suffix. For example:

<div name="myDatePicker" id="myDatePicker" class="Picker">
  <input type="text" name="myDatePicker_input" id="myDatePicker_input">
  <i name="myDatePicker_icon" id="myDatePicker_icon"></i>
  <div name="myDatePicker_calendar" id="myDatePicker_calendar">
  ...
  </div>
</div>

id

Id assigned to the outer html div containing the DatePicker. If not specified then id will be the same as name name.

displayFormat

Format of the date displayed to the user. Defaults to "MM/DD/YYYY".

returnFormat

Format of the date returned by the DatePicker. Defaults to "YYYY-MM-DD".

value

Value of the date. DatePicker uses Moment to parse the date so it is very flexible in terms of the type and format of the value. However, the value returned by the DatePicker will either be null or a string (if the value returned is valid then the string will be in returnFormat).

onChange

Handler invoked when the user enters or selects a date. The handler must accept a javascript object of the form:

{
  value: string,
  isValid: boolean,
  hasValue: boolean
}

value : null or a string in the 'returnFormat' format. It may or may not be a valid date string.
isValid : true if the value is a valid date string.
hasValue: true if the value is not null.

Note: the onChange handler will be called on each key press.

placeHolder

Place holder displayed in the input element.

error

Error message to display using Bootstrap validation classes. If this property is non-null and non-empty then DatePicker will add the .is-invalid class to the input element and also add an <invalid-feedback> tag. See Bootstrap form validation for more details.

inputSize

This adds a Bootstrap form-control size modifier to the input element:

sm : Small
lg : Large

Omit this property for standard Bootstrap form-control size.

autoOpen

Automatically open the Calendar when the DatePicker gets focus. Defaults to true.

autoClose

Automatically close the Calendar when the DatePicker loses focus. Defaults to true.

Mouse & Keyboard Interaction

DatePicker will toggle the popup calendar when the user clicks on the input element or calendar icon.

The calendar can also be toggled by pressing the Esc key.

Tabbing (or back-tabbing) out of the input element will automatically close the Calendar.

TimePicker

A wrapper around a text input element that allows the user to type in a time and/or select a time from a simple pop-up.
