ngx-mydatepicker

Angular date picker

Description

Angular attribute directive date picker. Compatible with Angular2 and Angular4 versions.

There is similar date picker here, but difference between these two is that with the ngx-mydatepicker you can define the style of input box, calendar and clear buttons.

Online demo of bootstrap styled input box and glyphicons is here

Installation

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

npm install ngx-mydatepicker --save

Add MyDatePickerModule import to your @NgModule like example below

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { MyTestApp } from './my-test-app';
import { NgxMyDatePickerModule } from 'ngx-mydatepicker';

@NgModule({
    imports:      [ BrowserModule, NgxMyDatePickerModule ],
    declarations: [ MyTestApp ],
    bootstrap:    [ MyTestApp ]
})
export class MyTestAppModule {}

If you are using systemjs package loader add the following ngx-mydatepicker properties to the System.config:

(function (global) {
    System.config({
        paths: {
            'npm:': 'node_modules/'
        },
        map: {
            // Other components are here...

            'ngx-mydatepicker': 'npm:ngx-mydatepicker/bundles/ngx-mydatepicker.umd.min.js'
        },
        packages: {
        }
    });
})(this);

Usage

Use one of the following two options.

1. ngModel binding

In this option the ngModel binding is used. Here is an example application. It shows how to use the ngModel.

To use ngModel define the application class as follows:

import {INgxMyDpOptions, IMyDateModel} from 'ngx-mydatepicker';
// other imports here...

export class MyTestApp {

    private myOptions: INgxMyDpOptions = {
        // other options...
        dateFormat: 'dd.mm.yyyy',
    };

    // Initialized to specific date (09.10.2018)
    private model: Object = { date: { year: 2018, month: 10, day: 9 } };

    constructor() { }

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

Add the following snippet inside your template:

<!-- input box styling is bootstrap 3.3.7 -->
<form>
    <div class="input-group">
        <input class="form-control" style="float:none" placeholder="Select a date" ngx-mydatepicker name="mydate"
               [(ngModel)]="model" [options]="myOptions" #dp="ngx-mydatepicker" (dateChanged)="onDateChanged($event)"/>

        <span class="input-group-btn">
            <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" (click)="dp.clearDate()">
                <i class="glyphicon glyphicon-remove"></i>
            </button>
            <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" (click)="dp.toggleCalendar()">
                <i class="glyphicon glyphicon-calendar"></i>
            </button>
        </span>
    </div>
</form>

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 {INgxMyDpOptions} from 'ngx-mydatepicker';
// other imports here...

export class MyTestApp implements OnInit {

    private myOptions: INgxMyDpOptions = {
        // other options...
        dateFormat: 'dd.mm.yyyy',
    };

    private myForm: FormGroup;

    constructor(private formBuilder: FormBuilder) { }

    ngOnInit() {
        this.myForm = this.formBuilder.group({
            // Empty string or null means no initial value. Can be also specific date for
            // example: {date: {year: 2018, month: 10, day: 9}} which sets this date to initial
            // value.

            myDate: [null, Validators.required]
            // other controls are here...
        });
    }

    setDate(): void {
        // Set today date using the setValue function
        let date = new Date();
        this.myForm.setValue({myDate: {
        date: {
            year: date.getFullYear(),
            month: date.getMonth() + 1,
            day: date.getDate()}
        }});
    }

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

Add the following snippet inside your template:

<!-- input box styling is bootstrap 3.3.7 -->
<form [formGroup]="myForm" (ngSubmit)="onSubmit()" novalidate>
    <div class="input-group">
        <input class="form-control" style="float:none" placeholder="Select a date" ngx-mydatepicker name="myDate"
               formControlName="myDate" [options]="myOptions" #dp="ngx-mydatepicker"/>

        <span class="input-group-btn">
            <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" (click)="dp.clearDate()">
                <i class="glyphicon glyphicon-remove"></i>
            </button>
            <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" (click)="dp.toggleCalendar()">
                <i class="glyphicon glyphicon-calendar"></i>
            </button>
        </span>
    </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>
