Bootstrap DatePicker Widget for Yii2

Installation

The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.

Either run

composer require 2amigos/yii2-date-picker-widget:~1.0

or add

"2amigos/yii2-date-picker-widget" : "~1.0"

to the require section of your application's composer.json file.

Usage

The widget comes in two flavors:

DatePicker
DateRangePicker

DatePicker

This widget renders a Bootstrap DatePicker input control. Best suitable for model with date string attribute.

Example of use with a form
There are two ways of using it, with an ActiveForm instance or as a widget setting up its model and attribute.

<?php
use dosamigos\datepicker\DatePicker;

// as a widget
?>

<?= DatePicker::widget([
    'model' => $model,
    'attribute' => 'date',
    'template' => '{addon}{input}',
        'clientOptions' => [
            'autoclose' => true,
            'format' => 'dd-M-yyyy'
        ]
]);?>

<?php 
// with an ActiveForm instance 
?>
<?= $form->field($model, 'date')->widget(
    DatePicker::className(), [
        // inline too, not bad
         'inline' => true, 
         // modify template for custom rendering
        'template' => '<div class="well well-sm" style="background-color: #fff; width:250px">{input}</div>',
        'clientOptions' => [
            'autoclose' => true,
            'format' => 'dd-M-yyyy'
        ]
]);?>

Example of use without a model

<?php
use dosamigos\datepicker\DatePicker;
?>
<?= DatePicker::widget([
    'name' => 'Test',
    'value' => '02-16-2012',
    'template' => '{addon}{input}',
        'clientOptions' => [
            'autoclose' => true,
            'format' => 'dd-M-yyyy'
        ]
]);?>

DateRangePicker

This widget renders a Bootstrap DateRangePicker Input control.

Example of use with a form
The following example works with a model that has two attributes named date_from and date_to.

<?php
use dosamigos\datepicker\DateRangePicker;
?>
<?= $form->field($tour, 'date_from')->widget(DateRangePicker::className(), [
    'attributeTo' => 'date_to', 
    'form' => $form, // best for correct client validation
    'language' => 'es',
    'size' => 'lg',
    'clientOptions' => [
        'autoclose' => true,
        'format' => 'dd-M-yyyy'
    ]
]);?>

Example of use without a model

<?php
use dosamigos\datepicker\DateRangePicker;
?>
<?= DateRangePicker::widget([
    'name' => 'date_from',
    'value' => '02-16-2012',
    'nameTo' => 'name_to',
    'valueTo' => '02-20-2012'
]);?>

Testing

To test the extension, is better to clone this repository on your computer. After, go to the extensions folder and do the following (assuming you have composer installed on your computer):

$ composer install --no-interaction --prefer-source --dev

Once all required libraries are installed then do:

$ vendor/bin/phpunit

I would recommend to have phpunit globally installed together with xdebug so you can have code coverage analysis too.

Further Information

Please, check the Bootstrap DatePicker site documentation for further information about its configuration options.
