angular-fk-datepicker

This library is a fully Angular 2 datepicker.

Click here for a demo.

Install

npm install angular-fk-datepicker

Usage

The library has two main component, the main one is obviously the datepicker itself. The second one is the input of the datepicker. By separating the two, you are able to use the datepicker in any way you want. It's not dependant on the input text.

The input can take a DateFormatter, it's an interface that has format function which takes a Date and returns a string. By default, the formatter used does Date#toLocaleString. For example, you can pass your own formatter which uses moment for advanced formatting.

A word on styling

By default the style uses Bootstrap 3. It supports basic custom classes to apply custom styles. See DatePickerCustomClasses.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { FkDatePickerModule } from 'angular-fk-datepicker';
 
@NgModule({
    imports: [FkDatePickerModule]
})
export class ModuleWithoutConfig {}
 
@NgModule({
    imports: [
        FkDatePickerModule.withConfig({
            initialDate: new Date(2016, 08, 27)
        });
    ]
})
export class ModuleWithConfig {}

In one of your component:

 
<fk-datepicker-input [formatter]="customFormatter">
    <fk-datepicker 
        [initialDate]="initialDate"
        [minDate]="minDate"
        [maxDate]="maxDate"
        firstDayOfWeek="mo">
    </fk-datepicker>
</fk-datepicker-input>

Documentation

DatePickerComponent

Properties

• initialDate (Date): The initial date selected by the datepicker. Default value is new Date().
• minDate (Date): The minimum date that the datepicker can select. No default value.
• maxDate (Date): The maximum date that the datepicker can select. No default value.
• firstDayOfWeek (string): The initial date selected by the datepicker. Default value is su (sunday).
• monthLabels (MonthLabels): The labels for the months. Default values are the english months.
• dayLabels (DayLabels): The labels for the days. Default values are the english days.
• customClasses (DatePickerCustomClasses): Custom classes for the datepicker elements. See defaults below.
• closeOnClickAway (boolean): Close the datepicker when clicking away. Default is true.
• useConfig (boolean): Since 1.2.0, you can set it to false to ignore global configuration object.

Events

• selection (Date): Event fired when a new date is selected. The event is fired a first time when the datepicker is created.
• toggle (boolean): Event fired when the datepicker is opened or closed. True if open, false if closed.

FormControlName

The datepicker supports the formControlName directive. Just set formControlName with the name of your control like any other control. If a value is already present in the control, it will set it as initial value. When the value is updated the control is also updated and set to dirty. It is set to touched as soon as the datepicker is closed.

NgModel

The datepicker also supports NgModel, which is the alternative to FormControlName.

DatePickerCustomClasses

The interface for the custom classes is:

export interface DatePickerCustomClasses {
    mergeWithDefaults?: boolean;
    table?: string;
    headerRow?: string;
    dayLabelsRow?: string;
    month?: string;
    year?: string;
    previousIcon?: string;
    nextIcon?: string;
}

The defaults are:

export const defaultClasses: DatePickerCustomClasses = {
    table: 'calendar',
    previousIcon: 'glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-left',
    nextIcon: 'glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-right',
    headerRow: 'months-header',
    dayLabelsRow: 'days-header',
    month: 'month',
    year: 'year'
};

If you set mergeWithDefaults to true, it will override the defaults, otherwise it will not take any default values. If you change the table class, don't forget to add the styles for the selected day, etc. See the default styles in the datepicker.component.ts file.

DatePickerInputComponent

Properties

• formatter (DateFormatter): The date formatter that transforms the date to a custom format for the input.
• customClasses (string): Custom classes for the input. Default is form-control

DateFormatter

Implement this interface to create your custom formatter;

export interface DateFormatter {
    format (date: Date): string;
}

MonthLabels

Create an object that implements this interface to pass your custom label names.

import { MonthLabels } from 'angular-fk-datepicker';

export interface MonthLabels {
    ['1']: string;
    ['2']: string;
    ['3']: string;
    ['4']: string;
    ['5']: string;
    ['6']: string;
    ['7']: string;
    ['8']: string;
    ['9']: string;
    ['10']: string;
    ['11']: string;
    ['12']: string;
}

DayLabels

Create an object that implements this interface to pass your custom label names.

import { DayLabels } from 'angular-fk-datepicker';

export interface DayLabels {
    su: string;
    mo: string;
    tu: string;
    we: string;
    th: string;
    fr: string;
    sa: string;
}

Global configuration object

It's possible since 1.2.0 to configure the datepicker with a global configuration object.

The configuration interface is FkDatePickerConfig:

export interface FkDatePickerConfig {
    minDate?: Date;
    maxDate?: Date;
    initialDate?: Date;
    monthLabels?: MonthLabels;
    dayLabels?: DayLabels;
    firstDayOfWeek?: FirstDayOfWeek;
    formatter: DateFormatter; // Since 1.3.2
}

How this works:

• If the value is passed by data-binding, it will override the configuration.
• If useConfig is set to true (which is the default), the datepicker will look for the value in the configuration object.
• If the value is absent, it will set the default, for example, date of day for initialDate.
