This date range picker component creates a dropdown menu from which a user can select a range of dates.
Features include limiting the selectable date range, localizable strings and date formats, a single date picker mode, a time picker, and predefined date ranges.
Above samples are based on the original repository from Dan Grossman. New features from this fork are not available in these samples.

</script>In version 5.x jQuery dependency has been removed. Version 4.x is available at branch 4.x-jQuery but new features will not added anymore to this branch.
Unlesss you work with Events, you should not face any difference between version 4.x and 5.x.
Initialisation with jQuery is supported in version 5.x

</script>In case you work with Events there are a few minor changes:
// version 4.x - with jQuery

}Compared to inital repository, this fork added following features and changes:
- Replaced moment by luxon (see differences below)
- Added option
weekendClasses,weekendDayClasses,todayClassesto highlight weekend days or today, respectively - Added option
timePickerStepSizeto succeed optionstimePickerIncrementandtimePickerSeconds - Added events
dateChangeandtimeChangeemitted when user clicks on a date/time - Added event
beforeHideenables you to keep the picker visible after click onApplyorCancelbutton. - Added event
beforeRenderTimePickerandbeforeRenderCalendaremitted before elements are rendered - Added event
violateemitted when user input is not valid - Added method
setRange(startDate, endDate)to combinesetStartDate(startDate)andsetEndDate(endDate) - Added option
minSpansimilar tomaxSpan - Added option
isInvalidTimesimilar toisInvalidDate - Added option
altInputandaltFormatto provide an alternative output element for selected date value - Added option
onOutsideClickwhere you can define whether picker shall apply or revert selected value - Added option
initalMonthto show datepicker without an initial date - Added option
singleMonthViewto show single month calendar, useful for shorter ranges - Added option
showOnClickandbuttonto provide better control when DateRangePicker pops up - Better validation of input parameters, errors are logged to console
- Highlight range in calendar when hovering over pre-defined ranges
- Option
autoUpdateInputdefines whether the attached<input>element is updated when the user clicks on a date value.
In original daterangepicker this parameter defines whether the<input>is updated when the user clicks onApplybutton. - Added option
locale.durationFormatto show customized label for selected duration, e.g.'4 Days, 6 Hours, 30 Minutes' - Support styling with 3rd party CSS Frameworks. Currently only Bulma is supported
but other frameworks may be added in future releases - ESM Module Import
- Jest unit testing
- Removed dependency from jQuery
- ... and maybe some new bugs 😉
All date values are based on luxon which provides great support for localization. Instead of providing date format, weekdays, month names, etc. manually it is usually easier to set the default locale like this:
const Settings = luxon.Settings;
Settings.defaultLocale = 'fr-CA'
daterangepicker('#picker', {
timePicker: true
};instead of
daterangepicker('#picker', {
timePicker: true,
timePicker24Hour: true,
locale: {
format: 'yyyyy-M-d H h m',
daysOfWeek: [ 'lun.', 'mar.', 'mer.', 'jeu.', 'ven.', 'sam.', 'dim.' ],
monthNames: [ "janvier', 'février', 'mars', 'avril', 'mai', 'juin', 'juillet', 'août', 'septembre', 'octobre', 'novembre', 'décembre" ],
firstDay: 7
}
};You can style this daterangepicker with Bulma CSS Framework. Light and dark theme is supported:
Available methods are listed in detail at API Documentation. You will mainly use
- daterangepicker(element, options, callback)
- .setStartDate(startDate)
- .setRange(startDate, endDate)
- .getDateRangePicker(element)
all other methods are used rarely.
This table lists a few important differences between datarangepicker using moment and luxon. Check them carefully when you migrate from older daterangepicker.
