Properties​

Default value​

This value acts as placeholder for the date picker widget, if any value is not provided then the default value will be used from the picker. The default value needs to be a String with respect to the format field. Ex: If format is set to MM/YYYY then provide default value as 04/2022.

Format​

The format of the date selected by the date picker. Default date format is DD/MM/YYYY. Date format should be followed as ISO 8601 as mentioned in the moment documentation. This field requires a String input. Ex: DD/MM, MM/YYYY, YY/MM, DD/MM/YYYY etc.

Disabled dates​

We can give disabled dates property which will make specific dates disabled and cannot be selected. The default value needs to be an array ofStrings.

Example for disabling the 9th of January:

{{['09-01']}}

Now user won't be able to select the mentioned date since it will be disabled.

Validation​

Custom Validation​

Add a validation for the date input in the widget using the ternary operator.

Example of validation for selecting dates that are after the current date:

{{moment(components.datepicker1.value, 'DD/MM/YYYY').isAfter(moment()) ? true : 'Date should be after today'}}

General​

Tooltip​

A Tooltip is often used to specify extra information about something when the user hovers the mouse pointer over the widget.

Under the General accordion, you can set the value in the string format. Now hovering over the widget will display the string as the tooltip.
