Description

Highly configurable Angular datepicker and date range picker. No dependencies to other libraries.

This project was generated with Angular CLI version 7.3.8. The library is tested with Angular version 7.2.0.

Source code of the datepicker is in the projects/angular-mydatepicker/src folder.

Online demo is here

Code examples

Code examples are here.

Installation

To install this component to an external project, follow the procedure:

npm install angular-mydatepicker --save

Add AngularMyDatePickerModule import to your @NgModule as follows

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { AngularMyDatePickerModule } from 'angular-mydatepicker';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule, ReactiveFormsModule, FormsModule, AngularMyDatePickerModule
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

Usage

Use one of the following two options. The examples below use the bootstrap and the font-awesome, but you can use datepicker also without them.

1. ngModel binding

In this option the ngModel binding is used.

To use ngModel define the application class as follows:

import {IAngularMyDpOptions, IMyDateModel} from 'angular-mydatepicker';
// other imports are here...

export class MyTestApp {
  private myOptions: IAngularMyDpOptions = {
    dateRange: false,      // If false = date picker, if true = date range picker
    dateFormat: 'dd.mm.yyyy'
    // other options are here...
  };

  private model: IMyDateModel = null;

  constructor() { }

  // optional date changed callback
  onDateChanged(event: IMyDateModel): void {
    // date selected
  }
}

If you are using bootstrap 4 add the following snippet inside your template:

example adds bootstrap input group and font-awesome icons

<div class="input-group">
  <input class="form-control" placeholder="Select a date" angular-mydatepicker name="mydate"
         [(ngModel)]="model" [options]="myOptions" #dp="angular-mydatepicker" (dateChanged)="onDateChanged($event)"/>
  <div class="input-group-append">
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" (click)="dp.clearDate()">
      <i class="fa fa-close"></i>
    </button>
  </div>
  <div class="input-group-append">
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" (click)="dp.toggleCalendar()">
      <i class="fa fa-calendar-o"></i>
    </button>
  </div>
</div>

There are two ways to set an initial date to the model.

Initialize with the IMyDate object:

// Initialized to specific date (05.05.2019)
model: IMyDateModel = {isRange: false, singleDate: {date: { year: 2019, month: 5, day: 5 }}};

Initialize with the javascript date object:

// Initialized to today
model: IMyDateModel = {isRange: false, singleDate: {jsDate: new Date()}};

2. Reactive forms

In this option the value accessor of reactive forms is used. Here is an example application. It shows how to use the formControlName.

To use reactive forms define the application class as follows:

import {IAngularMyDpOptions, IMyDateModel} from 'angular-mydatepicker';
// other imports are here...

export class MyTestApp implements OnInit {

  myOptions: IAngularMyDpOptions = {
    dateRange: false,      // If false = date picker, if true = date range picker
    dateFormat: 'dd.mm.yyyy'
    // other options...
  };

  private myForm: FormGroup;

  constructor(private formBuilder: FormBuilder) { }

  ngOnInit() {
    // Initialize to today date
    let model: IMyDateModel = {isRange: false, singleDate: {jsDate: new Date()}, dateRange: null};
    this.myForm = this.formBuilder.group({
      myDate: [model, Validators.required]
      // other controls are here...
    });
  }

  setDate(): void {
    // Set today date using the patchValue function
    let model: IMyDateModel = {isRange: false, singleDate: {jsDate: new Date()}, dateRange: null};
    this.myForm.patchValue({myDate: model);
  }

  clearDate(): void {
    // Clear the date using the patchValue function
    this.myForm.patchValue({myDate: null});
  }
}

Add the following snippet inside your template:

example adds bootstrap input group and font-awesome icons

<form [formGroup]="myForm" (ngSubmit)="onSubmit()" novalidate>
    <div class="input-group">
        <input class="form-control" placeholder="Select a date" angular-mydatepicker name="myDate" 
          formControlName="myDate"[options]="myOptions" #dp="angular-mydatepicker"/>
        <div class="input-group-append">
          <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" (click)="dp.clearDate()">
            <i class="fa fa-close"></i>
          </button>
        </div>
        <div class="input-group-append">
          <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" (click)="dp.toggleCalendar()">
            <i class="fa fa-calendar-o"></i>
          </button>
        </div>
    </div>

    <div class="btnGroup">
        <button class="button" type="submit" [disabled]="myForm.controls.myDate.errors">Submit</button>
        <p class="error" *ngIf="myForm.controls.myDate.errors">Date is required!</p>
    </div>
</form>
