Datepicker

A datepicker Vue component. Compatible with Vue 2.x

• Demo
• Install
• Usage
• Date Formatting
• Props
• Events
• Disabled dates
• Highlighted dates
• Translations

NB. Vue 1.x was supported up to version v0.9.9. If you want to use this component with Vue 1.x you can install with yarn install vuejs-datepicker@0.9.9

Fork changes:

Had the need to select a range from date A -> date B, therefore I created a simple range prop.

<datepicker :range="true" v-model="exampleRange" placeholder="Select range"></datepicker>

This prop modifies some of the core functionality of the datepicker;

• The picker is not closed on selection (like inline)
• the picker lets user select two dates, one start and one end date.
• When range prop is true, the picker's input emits an object instead of date: { "from": "2018-06-07T21:55:00.000Z", "to": "2018-06-15T21:55:00.000Z" }
• Input field value is updated with two dates: 07 - 15 Jun (or 01 Jan - 01 Feb if the months are not the same)
• :format prop formats both dates instead of default "selectedDate"
• I modified the highlighted prop to allow for visualisation of the selected dates

Date formatting

String formatter

NB. This is not very robust at all - use at your own risk! Needs a better implementation.

Token	Desc	Example
d	day	1
dd	0 prefixed day	01
D	abbr day	Mon
su	date suffix	st, nd, rd
M	month number (1 based)	1 (for Jan)
MM	0 prefixed month	01
MMM	abbreviated month name	Jan
MMMM	month name	January
yy	two digit year	16
yyyy	four digit year	2016

Function formatter

Delegates date formatting to provided function. Function will be called with date and it has to return formated date as a string. This allow us to use moment, date-fns, globalize or any other library to format date.

<script>
  methods: {
    customFormatter(date) {
      return moment(date).format('MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a');
    }
  }
</script>
<datepicker :format="customFormatter"></datepicker>

Disabled Dates

Dates can be disabled in a number of ways.

<script>
var state = {
  disabledDates: {
    to: new Date(2016, 0, 5), // Disable all dates up to specific date
    from: new Date(2016, 0, 26), // Disable all dates after specific date
    days: [6, 0], // Disable Saturday's and Sunday's
    daysOfMonth: [29, 30, 31], // Disable 29th, 30th and 31st of each month
    dates: [ // Disable an array of dates
      new Date(2016, 9, 16),
      new Date(2016, 9, 17),
      new Date(2016, 9, 18)
    ],
    ranges: [{ // Disable dates in given ranges (exclusive).
      from: new Date(2016, 11, 25),
      to: new Date(2016, 11, 30)
    }, {
      from: new Date(2017, 1, 12),
      to: new Date(2017, 2, 25)
    }],
    // a custom function that returns true if the date is disabled
    // this can be used for wiring you own logic to disable a date if none
    // of the above conditions serve your purpose
    // this function should accept a date and return true if is disabled
    customPredictor: function(date) {
      // disables the date if it is a multiple of 5
      if(date.getDate() % 5 == 0){
        return true
      }
    }
  }
}
</script>
<datepicker :disabledDates="state.disabledDates"></datepicker>

Highlighted Dates

Dates can be highlighted (e.g. for marking an appointment) in a number of ways. Important: By default disabled dates are ignored, to highlight disabled dates set the includeDisabled property to true. Note: Both to and from properties are required to define a range of dates to highlight.

<script>
var state = {
  highlighted: {
    to: new Date(2016, 0, 5), // Highlight all dates up to specific date
    from: new Date(2016, 0, 26), // Highlight all dates after specific date
    days: [6, 0], // Highlight Saturday's and Sunday's
    daysOfMonth: [15, 20, 31], // Highlight 15th, 20th and 31st of each month
    dates: [ // Highlight an array of dates
      new Date(2016, 9, 16),
      new Date(2016, 9, 17),
      new Date(2016, 9, 18)
    ],
    // a custom function that returns true of the date is highlighted
    // this can be used for wiring you own logic to highlight a date if none
    // of the above conditions serve your purpose
    // this function should accept a date and return true if is highlighted
    customPredictor: function(date) {
      // highlights the date if it is a multiple of 4
      if(date.getDate() % 4 == 0){
        return true
      }
    },
    includeDisabled: true // Highlight disabled dates
  }
}
</script>
<datepicker :highlighted="state.highlighted"></datepicker>

Slots

Slots will help you customize content. .

beforeCalendarHeader

Sometimes you need to show custom content before the calendar header. For such cases you can use the named slot beforeCalendarHeader.

An example would be to use bootstrap's input-group-prepend and input-group-append to show some custom text:

<datepicker :bootstrap-styling="true">
  <div slot="beforeCalendarHeader" class="calender-header">
    Choose a Date
  </div>
</datepicker>

afterDateInput

To implement some custom styling (for instance to add an animated placeholder) on DateInput, you might need to add elements as DateInput siblings. Slot named afterDateInput allows you to do that:

<datepicker>
  <span slot="afterDateInput" class="animated-placeholder">
    Choose a Date
  </span>
</datepicker>
