Native AngularJS datetime picker directive styled by Twitter Bootstrap 3
This is project is no longer updated or supported, please consider using the latest angular-bootstrap-datetimepicker instead.
I know this is a tiny directive but many people use it in production (high 5 to all of us) - if you happen to use this directive please click the star button (at the top of the page) - it means a lot to all the contributors.
If you want to override the template used by this directive, simply populate the $templateCache with your own template.
$templateCache.put('templates/datetimepicker.html', '<div>...your custom template here...</div>')Use the angular-date-time-input directive to format the display of a date in an input box or allow users to enter a valid date with the keyboard.
This project no longer supports bower. If you are using wiredep, you can add the following to your bower.json file to allow wiredep to use this directive.
"overrides": {
"angularjs-bootstrap-datetimepicker": {
"main": [
"src/js/datetimepicker.js",
"src/js/datetimepicker.templates.js",
"src/css/datetimepicker.css"
],
"dependencies": {
"angular": "^1.x",
"moment": "^2.x"
}
}
}If you see this error: Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: #, it is because you are using Bootstrap
dropdown's with JQuery 3 and the HTML from the the official Bootstrap documentation.
Fortunately, you can get Bootstrap dropdowns to work with JQuery 3 by making a minor change to the HTML!
This example will not work with will not work with jQuery3.
<div class="dropdown">
<a class="dropdown-toggle" id="dLabel" role="button" data-toggle="dropdown" data-target="#" href="#">
Click here to show calendar
</a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu" aria-labelledby="dLabel">
<datetimepicker data-ng-model="data.date"
data-datetimepicker-config="{ dropdownSelector: '.dropdown-toggle' }"></datetimepicker>
</ul>
</div>To use jQuery 3 with Bootstrap 3, you need to change the data-toggle to a selector that will select the parent div.dropdown element.
If you only have one drop down on the page, the change is very simple.
- Change
data-toggle="#"todata-toggle=".dropdown".
To support multiple drop down's on a page, you need to make two changes:
- Add a new class to the
div.dropdownelement (dropdown1-parentin the below example). This will be used as a selector in thedata-targetattribute. - Change
data-toggle="#"todata-target=".dropdown1-parent".
<div class="dropdown dropdown1-parent">
<a class="dropdown-toggle" id="dropdown1" role="button" data-toggle="dropdown" data-target=".dropdown1-parent" href="#">
Click here to show calendar
</a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu" aria-labelledby="dLabel">
<datetimepicker data-ng-model="data.date"
data-datetimepicker-config="{ dropdownSelector: '.dropdown-toggle' }"></datetimepicker>
</ul>
</div>NB: All examples in this project now use the jQuery 3 HMTL because it also works with jQuery 2.
Requires:
- AngularJS 1.6.3 or higher (1.0.x will not work)
- moment.js 2.18.1 or higher for date parsing and formatting
- bootstrap's glyphicons for arrows (Can be overridden in css)
optional:
- bootstrap's dropdown component (
dropdowns.lessorbootstrap.css) - bootstrap's javascript (
bootstrap.js)
This directive was written using TDD and all enhancements and changes have related tests.
We use karma and jshint to ensure the quality of the code. The easiest way to run these checks is to use gulp:
npm install
npm testThe karma task will try to open Chrome as a browser in which to run the tests. Make sure Chrome is available or change the browsers setting in karma.config.js
We use npm for dependency management, run
npm install --save angularjs-bootstrap-datetimepickerThis will copy the angularjs-bootstrap-datetimepicker files into your components folder, along with its dependencies.
Add the css:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="node_modules/angularjs-bootstrap-datetimepicker/src/css/datetimepicker.css"/>Load the script files in your application:
<script type="text/javascript" src="node_modules/moment/moment.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="node_modules/angular/angular.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="node_modules/angularjs-bootstrap-datetimepicker/src/js/datetimepicker.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="node_modules/angularjs-bootstrap-datetimepicker/src/js/datetimepicker.templates.js"></script>Add the date module as a dependency to your application module:
var myAppModule = angular.module('MyApp', ['ui.bootstrap.datetimepicker'])Apply the directive to your form elements:
<datetimepicker data-ng-model="data.date"></datetimepicker>Attribute on datetimepicker element
If the value of the before-render attribute is a function, the date time picker will call this function before rendering a new view, passing in data about the view.
<datetimepicker data-ng-model="data.date" data-before-render="beforeRender($view, $dates, $leftDate, $upDate, $rightDate)"></datetimepicker>This function will be called every time a new view is rendered.
$scope.beforeRender = function ($view, $dates, $leftDate, $upDate, $rightDate) {
var index = Math.floor(Math.random() * $dates.length);
$dates[index].selectable = false;
}The following parameters are supplied by this directive :
- '$view' the name of the view to be rendered
- '$dates' a (possibly empty) array of DateObject's (see source) that the user can select in the view.
- '$leftDate' the DateObject selected if the user clicks the left arrow.
- '$upDate' the DateObject selected if the user clicks the text between the arrows.
- '$rightDate' the DateObject selected if the user clicks the right arrow.
DateObject {
utcDateValue: Number - UTC time value of this date object. It does NOT contain time zone information so take that into account when comparing to other dates (or use localDateValue function).
localDateValue: FUNCTION that returns a Number - local time value of this date object - same as moment.valueOf() or Date.getTime().
display: String - the way this value will be displayed on the calendar.
active: true | false | undefined - indicates that date object is part of the model value.
selectable: true | false | undefined - indicates that date value is selectable by the user.
past: true | false | undefined - indicates that date value is prior to the date range of the current view.
future: true | false | undefined - indicates that date value is after the date range of the current view.
}
Setting the .selectable property of a DateObject to false will prevent the user from being able to select that date value.
Attribute on datetimepicker element
If the value of the on-set-time attribute is a function, the date time picker will call this function passing in the selected value and previous value.
<datetimepicker data-ng-model="data.date" data-on-set-time="onTimeSet(newDate, oldDate)"></datetimepicker>This function will be called when the user selects a value on the minView.
$scope.onTimeSet = function (newDate, oldDate) {
console.log(newDate);
console.log(oldDate);
}data-on-set-time="onTimeSet()" <-- This will work
data-on-set-time="onTimeSet" <-- This will NOT work, the ()'s are required
NOTE The configuration options are not attributes on the element but rather members of the configuration object, which is specified in the data-datetimepicker-config attribute.
<datetimepicker data-ng-model="data.date" data-datetimepicker-config="{ dropdownSelector: '.dropdown-toggle' }"></datetimepicker>String. Default: 'day'
The view that the datetimepicker should show when it is opened. Accepts values of :
'minute'for the minute view'hour'for the hour view'day'for the day view (the default)'month'for the 12-month view'year'for the 10-year overview. Useful for date-of-birth datetimepickers.
String. 'minute'
The lowest view that the datetimepicker should show.
Accepts the same values as startView.
Number. Default: 5
The increment used to build the hour view. A button is created for each minuteStep minutes.
String. Default: null
Causes the date/time picker to re-read its configuration when the specified event is received.
For example, perhaps the startView option in the configuration has changed and you would like the new configuration to be used. You can $broadcast the event to cause this directive to use the new configuration.
String. Default: null
Causes the date/time picker to re-render its view when the specified event is received.
For example, if you want to disable any dates or times that are in the past. You can $broadcast the event at an interval to disable times in the past (or any other time valid dates change).
String. Default: 'Date'
Specifies the data type to use when storing the selected date in the model.
Accepts any string value, but the following values have special meaning (these values are case sensitive) :
'Date'stores a Date instance in the model. Will accept Date, moment, milliseconds, and ISO 8601 strings as initial input from the model'moment'stores a moment instance in the model. Accepts the same initial values asDate'milliseconds'store the epoch milliseconds (since 1-1-1970) in the model. Accepts the same initial values asDate
Any other value is considered a format string.
When accepting values from, and saving values to the model, this directive tries to be as flexible as possible.
Dates, moments, and milliseconds are all accepted as input no matter what you specify for modelType.
However, strings are problematic and often lose timezone information, so use caution when storing strings.
If you must use a string, be aware that the format stored in the model must exactly match the format specified in modelType.
For example, the value in the model is '2015-12-31' then using modelType: 'MM-DD-YYYY' will cause an exception.
NOTA BENE: If the only reason you are storing strings is to have it properly formatted when displaying to the user, please review the documentation on ngModelController $formatters and $parsers. These allow you to store a value in the model but display it formatted as you like in the view. In other words, stop it! =)
The next and previous arrows on the directive had hidden (when useing bootstrap.css) text for screen readers. It also provide some default translations for various languages. However, if you need another translation, you can specify the translations in the configuration.
The screenReader option must be an object with previous and next properties.
<datetimepicker data-ng-model="data.date" data-datetimepicker-config="{ screenReader: { 'previous': 'go previous', 'next': 'go next' }}"></datetimepicker>When used within a Bootstrap dropdown and jQuery, the selector specified in dropdownSelector will toggle the dropdown when a date/time is selected.
NOTE: dropdownSelector requires jquery and bootstrap.js. If do not have these available do not specify this option. If you do, an error will be logged and this option will be removed.
The angularjs-bootstrap-datetimepicker directive requires ng-model and the picked date/time is automatically synchronized with the model value.
This directive also plays nicely with validation directives such as ng-required.
The angularjs-bootstrap-datetimepicker directive stores and expects the model value to be a standard javascript Date object.
If you apply the required directive to element then the form element is invalid until a date is picked.
Note: Remember that the ng-required directive must be explicitly set, i.e. to "true".
<datetimepicker data-ng-model="data.date" ></datetimepicker><datetimepicker data-ng-model="data.date" ></datetimepicker><p>Selected Date: {{ data.date | date:'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm' }}</p>
Display formatting of the date field is controlled by Angular filters.
<div class="dropdown">
<a class="dropdown-toggle" id="dLabel" role="button" data-toggle="dropdown" data-target=".dropdown" href="#">
Click here to show calendar
</a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu" aria-labelledby="dLabel">
<datetimepicker data-ng-model="data.date"
data-datetimepicker-config="{ dropdownSelector: '.dropdown-toggle' }"></datetimepicker>
</ul>
</div>In this example, the drop-down functionality is controlled by Twitter Bootstrap.
The dropdownSelector tells the datetimepicker which element is bound to the Twitter Bootstrap drop-down so
the drop-down is toggled closed after the user selects a date/time.
<div class="dropdown">
<a class="dropdown-toggle" id="dropdown" role="button" data-toggle="dropdown" data-target=".dropdown" href="#">
<div class="input-group">

<datetimepicker data-ng-model="startDate" data-before-render="startDateBeforeRender($dates)">
</datetimepicker>We filter dates that are past today and set selectable to false
$scope.startDateBeforeRender = function($dates) {
const todaySinceMidnight = new Date();

$dates.filter(function (date) {
return date.utcDateValue < todaySinceMidnight.getTime();
}).forEach(function (date) {
date.selectable = false;
});
};<div class="dropdown form-group dropdown-start-parent">
<label>Start Date</label>

data-on-set-time="endDateOnSetTime()"
data-before-render="endDateBeforeRender($view, $dates, $leftDate, $upDate, $rightDate)"></datetimepicker>
</ul>
</div>In this example, two elements are created : one for the start date and the second for the end date of the range.
/* Bindable functions
-----------------------------------------------*/
$scope.endDateBeforeRender = endDateBeforeRender
$scope.endDateOnSetTime = endDateOnSetTime
$scope.startDateBeforeRender = startDateBeforeRender
$scope.startDateOnSetTime = startDateOnSetTime
function startDateOnSetTime () {
$scope.$broadcast('start-date-changed');
}
function endDateOnSetTime () {
$scope.$broadcast('end-date-changed');
}
function startDateBeforeRender ($dates) {
if ($scope.dateRangeEnd) {
var activeDate = moment($scope.dateRangeEnd);
$dates.filter(function (date) {
return date.localDateValue() >= activeDate.valueOf()
}).forEach(function (date) {
date.selectable = false;
})
}
}
function endDateBeforeRender ($view, $dates) {
if ($scope.dateRangeStart) {
var activeDate = moment($scope.dateRangeStart).subtract(1, $view).add(1, 'minute');
$dates.filter(function (date) {
return date.localDateValue() <= activeDate.valueOf()
}).forEach(function (date) {
date.selectable = false;
})
}
}Then in the controller two functions must be added. Each one is related to the concerned date. They update the selectable status of each displayed date based on the range values. The time is also taken into account.
All internationalization is handled by Moment.js, see Moment's documentation for details.
In most cases, all that is needed is a call to moment.locale(String)
One exception is the title of the month view - moment does not (yet) have a localized format for month and year.
moment.locale('en'); // English
moment.locale('zh-cn'); // Simplified chineseThe first day of the week is also determined by moment's locale settings. For example, setting the locale to 'fr'
will cause Monday to be the first day of the week.
The format of hours and mintues is also determined by moment's locale settings.
hours are displayed using 'll' as the format. minutes are displayed using 'lll' as the format.
You can change the format by setting moment to the desired locale, or creating a custom locale with the desired format.
This view allows the user to select the year for the target date. If the year view is the minView, the date will be set to midnight on the first day of the year
This view allows the user to select the month in the selected year. If the month view is the minView, the date will be set to midnight on the first day of the month.
This view allows the user to select the the day of the month, in the selected month. If the day view is the minView, the date will be set to midnight on the day selected.
This view allows the user to select the hour of the day, on the selected day. If the hour view is the minView, the date will be set to the beginning of the hour on the day selected.
This view allows the user to select a specific time of day, in the selected hour.
By default, the time is displayed in 5 minute increments. The minuteStep property controls the increments of time displayed.
If the minute view is the minView, which is is by default, the date will be set to the beginning of the hour on the day selected.
