Options

When calling the the datepicker, the following options are available:

General Options

date

Type: String or Date

This variable will be changed when the user changes the date. It will be updated using the valueFormat specified.

valueFormat

Type: String Default: X

This is the format in which the date is passed back to the controller.

This format must be one of the momentjs defined formats, or be set to 'date' to be recognised as a Javascript Date object.

format

Type: String Default: YYYY-MM-DD

This is the format in which the date is displayed in the input box.

yearRange

Type: String or Array Default: -3,4

This range of years to be displayed. It is either in the form of a relative range (the first option goes from the current year back 3 years, and forward 4 years), or it can be defined in absolute terms. The value may also be an array. Here are some examples of valid inputs.

yearRange: "-3,4"
yearRange: [-2,8]
yearRange: [2000,2020]
yearRange: "2010,2016"

numberOfMonths

Type: Number Default: 1

The number of months to display in the datepicker component.

allowBlank

Type: Boolean Default: false

Can be set to allow blank dates (date = null). By default, null values will be replaced by the current date on initial render and every time the datepicker is closed. With this option, date may stay null.

utc

Type: Boolean Default: false

Per default, the created date value will obtain the computer's timezone and therefore not have UTC midnight as its time and will be a few hours off instead.

For example, when your timezone is 8 hours ahead of UTC: Creating a date object from the input "2000-01-01" will result in "1999-12-31T16:00:00.000Z", because when your computer has the time of 00:00:00 on Jan 1st 2000, UTC time is still in 1999. This is technically correct, but may not be what you want.

If you want to have easy-to-compare date strings in your JSON, set utc to true and you will get "2000-01-01T00:00:00.000Z" as expected.
