BladewindUI: Datepicker Component
logo
v3.1.0

Datepicker

Display a datepicker so user can select a date. The datepicker component is locale friendly. Months and days of the week are translated.

        
            <x-bladewind::datepicker  />
        
    

By default the datepicker fills up the width of its parent container. You can however specify a width of your choice using the datepicker's css attribute.

You can also change the placeholder text from the default Select a date.

        
            <div class="w-40">
                <x-bladewind::datepicker placeholder="Invoice Date"  />
            </div>
        
    

Range Calendar

The range datepicker allows you to select a range of dates by setting range="true". In the input field, the range of dates selected are separated with a dash (-). For example, a selected date range will be displayed in the input as 2025-01-10 - 2025-01-31.

        
            <x-bladewind::datepicker range="true"  />
        
    

Show As a Required Field

An asterisk is appended to the placeholder text when required="true".

        
            <x-bladewind::datepicker required="true"  />
        
    

Date Formats

You can specify how you want dates selected in the datepicker to be displayed. There are four options to pick from. The default format is format="yyyy-mm-dd". When using a range datepicker, the format you specify is applied to both datepickers.

        
            <x-bladewind::datepicker name="date1" type="range" format="dd-mm-yyyy" />
        
    
        
            <x-bladewind::datepicker name="date2" format="mm-dd-yyyy" />
        
    
        
            <x-bladewind::datepicker name="date3" format="D d M, Y" type="range" />
        
    
        
            <x-bladewind::datepicker name="date4" format="yyyy-mm-dd" />
        
    

With Default Values

There are times you will want the datepicker to load prepopulated with a default value. This is useful when in edit mode or when using filters and you want to show the user what dates they filtered by.

        
            <x-bladewind::datepicker selected_value="2021-12-03"  />
        
    

It is possible to have default dates for a range datepicker also.

        
            <x-bladewind::datepicker range="true" selected_value="2021-12-03 - 2022-01-03"  />
        
    

Min and Max Dates

Setting minimum and maximum dates restrict the datepicker to display dates only within these specified dates. The min_date attribute allows you to set the accepted minimum date. Any dates before this date will be disabled and grayed out. The max_date attribute allows you to set the accepted maximum date. Any dates after this date will be disabled and grayed out.

        
            <x-bladewind::datepicker min_date="2025-07-21" />
        
    

        
            <x-bladewind::datepicker max_date="2025-07-31" />
        
    

        
            <x-bladewind::datepicker min_date="2025-07-01" max_date="2025-07-31" />
