Angular datepicker is an angularjs directive that generates a datepicker calendar on your input element.
The Angularjs Datepicker is developed by 720kb.
AngularJS v1.3+
| Chrome | Firefox | IE | Opera | Safari |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ✔ | ✔ | IE9 + | ✔ | ✔ |
To use the directive, include the Angular Datepicker's javascript and css files in your web page:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<link href="src/css/angular-datepicker.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body ng-app="app">
//.....
<script src="src/js/angular-datepicker.js"></script>
</body>
</html>$ bower install angularjs-datepicker --save
$ npm install angularjs-datepicker --save
then load the js files in your html
Add the 720kb.datepicker module dependency
angular.module('app', [
'720kb.datepicker'
]);Call the directive wherever you want in your html page
<datepicker>
<input ng-model="date" type="text"/>
</datepicker>By default the ng-model will show a Javascript Date() Object inside your input, you can use the options below to set your preferred date format to.
| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| date-set="" | String | false | Set a default date to show and init datepicker |
| tip: Do not use same scope for ng-model="date" and date-set="{{date}}", this example is wrong. | |||
| tip: If you want to pass a Date Object inside do like this date-set="{{newDateObject.toString()}}" | |||
tip: Consider that date-set="{{myDate}}" equals to new Date(attr.dateSet), be sure the date you pass inside date-set="" is always in a correct ISO format, or adjust it based on the browser locale to avoid problems with that.". |
|||
| date-format="" | String | String(new Date()) | Set the date format you want to use, see the list here |
| tip: Be always sure to use a recognized format, maybe try first of all to pass it through new Date('...') and see if it's recognized | |||
| date-min-limit="" | String | false | Set a minimum date limit - you can use all the accepted date formats by the javascript new Date() |
| date-max-limit="" | String | false | Set a maximum date limit - you can use all the accepted date formats by the javascript new Date() |
| date-set-hidden="" | String(Boolean) | false | Set the default date to be shown only in calendar and not in the input field |
| date-disabled-dates="" | String([Date(), Date(), ...]) | false | Disable specific dates using an Array of dates. |
| date-enabled-dates="" | String([Date(), Date(), ...]) | false | Enable only the specific dates using an Array of dates. |
| date-disabled-weekdays="" | String(1, 5, ...]) | false | Disable specific weekdays using an Array of weeks number |
| date-refocus="" | String(Boolean) | false | Set the datepicker to re-focus the input after selecting a date |
| date-typer="" | String(Boolean) | false | Set the datepicker to update calendar date when user is typing a date, see validation tips |
| date-week-start-day="" | String(Number) | 0 | Set the first day of the week. Must be an integer between 0 (Sunday) and 6 (Saturday). (e.g. 1 for Monday) |
| datepicker-class="" | String('class1 class2 class3') | false | Set custom class/es for the datepicker calendar |
| datepicker-append-to="" | String('#id','.classname', 'body') | false | Append the datepicker to #id or .class element or to body |
| datepicker-toggle="" | String(Boolean) | true | Set the datepicker to toggle its visibility on focus and blur |
tip: Best is to use pointer-events: none; on your input if you don't want the user to toggle the calendar visibility. |
|||
| datepicker-show="" | String | false | Trigger the datepicker visibility, if true datepicker is shown if false it is hidden |
| tip: Do not mix it with datepicker-toggle for a more stable behavior | |||
| datepicker-mobile="" | String | true | Set to false to force override of mobile styles. Especially useful for using desktop-style pagination control in mobile apps. |
Angular datepicker allows you to use some options via attribute data
You can set the titles for the month and year selectors with the date-year-title="" and date-month-title="" data attributes (default to is "select month" and "select year")
<datepicker date-month-title="selected year">
<input ng-model="date"/>
</datepicker>
<datepicker date-year-title="selected title">
<input ng-model="date"/>
</datepicker>To highlight or style the today day in the calendar just use its own CSS class (._720kb-datepicker-today) like this:
._720kb-datepicker-calendar-day._720kb-datepicker-today {
background:red;
color:white;
}You can customize the calendar navigation buttons content, let's make an example while using FontAwesome
<datepicker button-prev="<i class='fa fa-arrow-left'></i>" button-next="<i class='fa fa-arrow-right'></i>">
<input ng-model="date" type="text"/>
</datepicker>You can also set the titles for the left and right arrows with button-next-title="" for the right and button-prev-title="" for the left. By default they are labeled "next" and "prev".
<datepicker button-prev-title="previous month">
<input ng-model="date"/>
</datepicker>
<datepicker button-next-title="next month">
<input ng-model="date" type="text"/>
</datepicker>Sometimes you cannot put date input as a first child of datepicker. In this case you may use selector="" to point to the CSS class of the input. Below example with using Twitter Bootstrap and FontAwesome
<datepicker date-format="yyyy-MM-dd" selector="form-control">
<div class="input-group">
<input class="form-control" placeholder="Choose a date"/>
<span class="input-group-addon" style="cursor: pointer">
<i class="fa fa-lg fa-calendar"></i>
</span>
</div>
</datepicker>Sometimes you want to (manually/programmatically) show or hide the datepicker, this can be achieved using datepicker-show attribute, if false, datepicker is hidden, if true, datepicker is shown
.controller('TestController', ['$scope', '$interval', function TestController($scope, $interval) {
$scope.visibility = true;
$interval(function setInterval() {
//toggling manually everytime
$scope.visibility = !$scope.visibility;
}, 3500);
}]); <datepicker ng-controller="TestController" datepicker-show="{{visibility}}">
<input ng-model="date3" type="text" class="angular-datepicker-input"/>
</datepicker>tip: you should use this attribute together with `datepicker-toggle="false" , for a better stable behavior of the datepicker

<span class="input-group-addon" style="cursor: pointer">
<i class="fa fa-lg fa-calendar"></i>
</span>
</div>
</datepicker>If you want to validate the input, while user is typing for example, you just have to refer to the ngModel.
As long as you use something like:
<div ng-controller="MyCtrl as ctrl">
<input datepicker type="text" ng-model="myDate"/>
</div>You can show validation errors simply validating the ngModel, as you would do for any other type of input, for example:
.controller('Ctrl', ['$scope', function ($scope) {
var liveDate;
$scope.$watch('myDate', function (value) {
try {
liveDate = new Date(value);
} catch(e) {}
if (!liveDate) {
$scope.error = "This is not a valid date";
} else {
$scope.error = false;
}
});
}]);Then your final html:
<div ng-controller="MyCtrl as ctrl">
<input type="text" ng-model="myDate" datepicker/>
<div ng-show="ctrl.error">{{ctrl.error}}</div>
</div>You can edit the default Css file angular-datepicker.css if you want to make a new theme for the datepicker, then just add it to the themes dir and PR!

Here is an example of a Dark Theme made using custom Css.
