Installation

To install this component to an external project, follow the procedure:

1. npm install mydatepicker --save

2. Add MyDatePickerModule import to your @NgModule like example below

   import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
   import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
   import { MyTestApp } from './my-test-app';
   
   // If you are using webpack package loader import the MyDatePickerModule from here:
   import { MyDatePickerModule } from 'mydatepicker';
   
   // If you are using systemjs package loader import the MyDatePickerModule from here:
   import { MyDatePickerModule } from 'mydatepicker/dist/my-date-picker.module';
   
   @NgModule({
       imports:      [ BrowserModule, MyDatePickerModule ],
       declarations: [ MyTestApp ],
       bootstrap:    [ MyTestApp ]
   })
   export class MyTestAppModule {}

3. Use the following snippet inside your template:

   <my-date-picker [options]="myDatePickerOptions"
                   (dateChanged)="onDateChanged($event)"></my-date-picker>

   • Mandatory attributes:

     • [options]="myDatePickerOptions"
     • (dateChanged)="onDateChanged($event)"

   • Optional attributes:

     • [selDate]="selectedDate" || [defaultMonth]="defaultMonth"
     • [locale]="locale"

   • Example of the options data (not all properties listed):

       myDatePickerOptions = {
           todayBtnTxt: 'Today',
           dateFormat: 'yyyy-mm-dd',
           firstDayOfWeek: 'mo',
           sunHighlight: true,
           height: '34px',
           width: '260px',
           inline: false,
           disableUntil: {year: 2016, month: 8, day: 10},
           selectionTxtFontSize: '16px'
       };

   • Example of the date changed callback:

       onDateChanged(event:any) {
           console.log('onDateChanged(): ', event.date, ' - formatted: ', event.formatted, ' - epoc timestamp: ', event.epoc);
       }

4. If you are using systemjs package loader add the following mydatepicker properties to the System.config:

   (function (global) {
       System.config({
           paths: {
               'npm:': 'node_modules/'
           },
           map: {
               // Other components are here...
   
               'mydatepicker': 'npm:mydatepicker',
           },
           packages: {
               // Other components are here...
   
               mydatepicker: {
                   defaultExtension: 'js'
               }
           }
       });
   })(this);

locale attribute

A two-letter ISO 639-1 language code can be provided as shorthand for several of the options listed above. Currently supported languages: en, fr, ja, fi, es, hu and sv. If the locale attribute is used it overrides dayLabels, monthLabels, dateFormat, todayBtnTxt, firstDayOfWeek and sunHighlight properties from the options.

• new locale data can be added to this file. If you want to add a new locale create a pull request.

selDate attribute

Provide the initially chosen date that will display both in the text input field and provide the default for the popped-up selector. Must be in the same format as the dateFormat option is.

defaultMonth attribute

If selDate is not specified, when the datepicker is opened, it will ordinarily default to selecting the current date. If you would prefer a different year and month to be the default for a freshly chosen date picking operation, specify a [defaultMonth] attribute.

Value of the [defaultMonth] attribute is a string which contain year number and month number separated by delimiter. The delimiter can be any special character. For example the value of the [defaultMonth] attribute can be: 2016.08, 08-2016, 08/2016.
