- Inject
ionicDatePickerin the controller, where you wish to use this component. Then using the below method you can call the datepicker.
.controller('HomeCtrl', function ($scope, ionicDatePicker) {
var ipObj1 = {
callback: function (val) { //Mandatory
console.log('Return value from the datepicker popup is : ' + val, new Date(val));
},
disabledDates: [ //Optional
new Date(2016, 2, 16),
new Date(2015, 3, 16),
new Date(2015, 4, 16),
new Date(2015, 5, 16),
new Date('Wednesday, August 12, 2015'),
new Date("08-16-2016"),
new Date(1439676000000)
],
from: new Date(2012, 1, 1), //Optional
to: new Date(2016, 10, 30), //Optional
inputDate: new Date(), //Optional
mondayFirst: true, //Optional
disableWeekdays: [0], //Optional
closeOnSelect: false, //Optional
templateType: 'popup' //Optional
};
$scope.openDatePicker = function(){
ionicDatePicker.openDatePicker(ipObj1);
};
};Apart from the config method, you can re configure all options in the controller also. If you again set any of the properties, they will be overridden by the values mentioned in the controller. This will be useful if there are multiple date pickers in the app, which has different properties.
In all the above steps the only mandatory thing is the callback where you will get the selected date value.
