A set of questions about using new Date Picker plugin


Topic: A set of questions about using new Date Picker plugin

p_manager@oksoft.ru pro asked 4 years ago

Here's some issues i faced using new plugin. Can you help me to solve it?

1) How to disable typing non formated text in a datepicker textbox?

2) How to remove calendar icon and enable clicking on a whole texbox area?

3) How to disable dates that less min and more than max date settings? (Even don't show the years if it's not in a range)

4) How to show weekdaysShort in an .picker__weekday-display span? How property showWeekdaysFull works?

5) How to hide label SELECT DATE in a .picker__title-display span or replace(it's better) it with a selected Year, like it was in a previous version of datepicker?

Thanks in advance!

Hi!

1) You can use some javascript or just plugin to validate your date input. The easiest way is something like this

$('#Birthday').on('change', function() {
  if ($('#Birthday').val() !== 'someRegexpCheck') {
    $('#Birthday').val('Choose proper date')
  }
});

2) You can't

3) Remove

    min: new Date(1910,3,20), //[1910, 3, 20],
    max: new Date(2020,8,5), //[2022, 7, 14],

in JS Object

4) You can't / It's just property that contains array with full names of weekdays, that date picker mechanism applies to HTML

5) Try to use this:

$('.fas.fa-calendar.input-prefix').on('click', () => {
  setTimeout(() => {
    const el = document.querySelector('.picker__title-display');
    el.textContent = $('#Birthday').val();
  }, 100);
});

Best regards


Thank you for reply!

6) If I set input type date and set default value it won't show, why? How to fix it?

Hi!

It works, the default value is set, but firstly label is shown. When you click on it your default value will show :)

Best regards


Yes, i understand it, but how to make value visible by default?
