new Date Picker (vanilla-calendar)
index
See the Editors - Wiki for more general info about Editors (validators, event handlers, ...)
Information
The Date Editor is provided through an external library named Vanilla-Calendar-Pro and all options from that library can be added to your editorOptions
(see below), so in order to add things like minimum date, disabling dates, ... just review all the Vanilla-Calendar-Pro and then add them into editorOptions
. We use Tempo to parse and format Dates to the chosen format (when type
, outputType
and/or saveType
are provided in your column definition)
Note Also just so you know,
editorOptions
is used by all other editors as well to expose external library like Autocompleter, Multiple-Select, etc...
Demo
Editor Options
You can use any of the Vanilla-Calendar settings by adding them to editorOptions
as shown below.
Note for easier implementation, you should import
VanillaCalendarOption
from Slickgrid-Universal common package.
On top of the default ones provided by Vanilla-Calendar there are also:
hideClearButton (default: false): which toggles the visiblity of the clear button
allowInput (default: false): which determines whether you can directly enter a date in the input element
Grid Option `defaultEditorOptions
You could also define certain options as a global level (for the entire grid or even all grids) by taking advantage of the defaultEditorOptions
Grid Option. Note that they are set via the editor type as a key name (autocompleter
, date
, ...) and then the content is the same as editorOptions
(also note that each key is already typed with the correct editor option interface), for example
Custom Validator
You can add a Custom Validator from an external function or inline (inline is shown below and comes from Example 12)
Date Format
Your column definitions may include a type
to tell Formatters how to formate your date, this type
is also used by the Editor when saving.
What if I want to use a different format when saving?
There are 3 types you can provide to inform the Editor on how to save:
type
inform the entire column what its type is (used by Formatter, Filter, Editor, Export)outputType
what type to display in the Editor vs saving format.saveOutputType
the type to use when saving which is different than the one used on cell input (rarely used).
The type
and outputType
are often used when you want to save something different compare to what you show to the user (for example, show a date in the US Format but save it as ISO or UTC).
The difference between outputType
and saveOutputType
when you wish to display a certain format in the date editor input (while editing), but wish to save in a different format. You will rarely need the saveOutputType
and for most use cases, the use of both type
and outputType
should be enough.
Note the type detection when saving is the inverse of the list above, whichever comes first from 3 to 1.
