Angular datepicker calendar

Join the chat at https://gitter.im/720kb/angular-datepicker

Angular datepicker is an angularjs directive that generates a datepicker calendar on your input element.

The Angularjs Datepicker is developed by 720kb.

##Requirements

AngularJS v1.3+

###Browser support

Chrome Firefox IE Opera Safari
✔ ✔ IE9 + ✔ ✔

Load

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>

##Installation

####Bower

$ bower install angularjs-datepicker --save

####Npm

$ npm install angularjs-datepicker --save

then load the js files in your html

###Add module dependency

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.

##DOC

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-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
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
datepicker-show="" String false Trigger the datepicker visibility, if true datepicker is shown if false it is hidden
tip: You may use this option together with datepicker-toggle="false" for a stable behavior

##Options Angular datepicker allows you to use some options via attribute data

####Custom titles

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>

####Custom buttons 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>

####Custom buttons titles for arrows 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>

####Input as grandchild 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>

####Manually show and hide 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

####Input as grandchild 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>

###Tips

####Date validation 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>

##Themes 🎨 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!

More about it https://github.com/720kb/angular-datepicker/tree/master/themes.

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

***Please note that the example may not be uptodate with the latest angular and/or module version
