Overview

The date picker is a dialog box that enables you to pick a specific date and time. The date can be displayed according to a format that is specified by the user.

The date picker is implemented using the MomentJS library and it uses its format specification.

Usage Examples

Basic Usage

<ptcs-datepicker></ptcs-datepicker>

In the example above, the attributes define the following:

  • date - The date to display
  • format - The date format specifier according to the MomentJS format. The 'LL' value generates the following: 'November 25, 2018'.
<ptcs-datepicker week-start="day" month-format="YMD" date-order="order" action-position="location" show-time display-seconds></ptcs-datepicker>

In the above example substitute attribute values:

  • day - possible values: Monday, Sunday
  • YMD - possible values: full, short, numeric
  • order - possible values: YMD, MDY, DMY
  • location - possible values: left, right
