Angular 2 date picker - Angular2 reusable UI component

Description

Highly configurable Angular2 date picker. Online demo is here

If you want to set own styles to the input box, the calendar and the clear buttons you can try this attribute directive datepicker.

Installation

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

npm install 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 { MyDatePickerModule } from 'mydatepicker';

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

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

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

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

Usage

Use one of the following three 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 {IMyOptions} from 'mydatepicker';
// other imports here...

export class MyTestApp {

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

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

    constructor() { }
}

Add the following snippet inside your template:

<form #myForm="ngForm" novalidate>
    <my-date-picker name="mydate" [options]="myDatePickerOptions"
                    [(ngModel)]="model" required></my-date-picker>
</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 {IMyOptions} from 'mydatepicker';
// other imports here...

export class MyTestApp implements OnInit {

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

    private myForm: FormGroup;

    constructor(private formBuilder: FormBuilder) { }

    ngOnInit() {
        this.myForm = this.formBuilder.group({
            // Empty string 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: ['', 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: ''});
    }
}

Add the following snippet inside your template:

<form [formGroup]="myForm" novalidate>
    <my-date-picker name="mydate" [options]="myDatePickerOptions"
                    formControlName="myDate"></my-date-picker>
  <!-- other controls are here... -->
</form>

3. Callbacks

In this option the mydatepicker sends data back to host application using callbacks. Here is an example application. It shows how to use callbacks.

To use callbacks define the application class as follows:

import {IMyOptions, IMyDateModel} from 'mydatepicker';
// other imports here...

export class MyTestApp {

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

    constructor() { }

    // dateChanged callback function called when the user select the date. This is mandatory callback
    // in this option. There are also optional inputFieldChanged and calendarViewChanged callbacks.
    onDateChanged(event: IMyDateModel) {
        // event properties are: event.date, event.jsdate, event.formatted and event.epoc
    }
}

Add the following snippet inside your template:

<my-date-picker [options]="myDatePickerOptions"
                (dateChanged)="onDateChanged($event)"></my-date-picker>

selDate attribute

Provide the initially chosen date that will display both in the text input field and provide the default for the popped-up selector.

Type of the selDate attribute can be a string or an IMyDate object.

Value of the [defaultMonth] attribute is a string which contain year number and month number separated by delimiter. The delimiter can be any special character. For example the value of the [defaultMonth] attribute can be: 2016.08, 08-2016, 08/2016.

Here is an example on how to use this attribute.

placeholder attribute
