jQuery DateBox Options

See Also

The value of this property will be passed to the accesskey attribute of the HTML element that underlies the UI component.

The UI component switches to the active state when users press down the primary mouse button. When this property is set to true, the CSS rules for the active state apply. You can change these rules to customize the component.

Use this property when you display the component on a platform whose guidelines include the active state change for UI components.

While displaying DateBox in your app, you may want to use different layouts for different screen sizes. While desktop monitors provide enough space, mobile screens do not. In this case, you can enable the UI component to have a more compact representation. For this purpose, assign true to the adaptivityEnabled property. In the adaptive mode, the date box is displayed without the digital clock face.

The property accepts the following values.

• "useButtons"
  Enables an end user to apply the selected value or cancel the selection using the Apply and Cancel buttons respectively. When the pickerType is 'calendar', choosing this mode activates the showTodayButton property.

• "instantly"
  Applies the selected value immediately after a user clicks the required value in the drop-down menu. This mode cannot be used if the pickerType is "rollers" or the type is "datetime".

Built-in buttons should also be declared in this array. You can find an example in the following demo:

You can specify most of the Calendar properties in this object except those listed below. These properties are overridden by their DateBox counterparts.

• dateSerializationFormat
• disabledDates
• max
• min
• onValueChanged
• selectionMode
• tabIndex
• value

Date-time serialization involves date-time value conversion into a string format for storage or transmission. To ensure proper format detection, specify this property.

Use LDML patterns to pass custom format strings to this property.

For instance, you can specify the following patterns:

• "yyyy-MM-dd"
  A date.

• "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss"
  Local date and time.

• "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ"
  Date and time in UTC.

• "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssx", "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssxx", "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssxxx"
  Date and time with a timezone.

To improve accessibility, use this property to specify aria-label for the component.

            inputAttr: { 'aria-label': 'your-label' }
        }

const inputAttr = { 'aria-label': 'your-label' };

export default function App() {
    return (
        <DateBox

You do not need to specify aria-label if you use label.

  You can also hide a custom action button when the UI component becomes read-only. Set the button's visible property to false in the onOptionChanged function. To get the button, use the getButton(name) method:

  jQuery

  index.js

  $(function() {
      $("#dateBoxContainer").dxDateBox({
          // ...
          buttons: [{
              name: "myCustomButton",
              // ...
          }],
          onOptionChanged: function(e) {
              if(e.name == "readOnly") {
                  const myButton = e.component.getButton("myCustomButton");
                  myButton.option("visible", !e.value); // Hide the button when readOnly: true
              }
          }
      });
  });

When this property is set to true, the UI component text flows from right to left, and the layout of elements is reversed. To switch the entire application/site to the right-to-left representation, assign true to the rtlEnabled field of the object passed to the DevExpress.config(config) method.

DevExpress.config({
    rtlEnabled: true
});

The following styles are available:

You can also use the global editorStylingMode setting to specify how the text fields of all editors in your application are styled.

The value of this property will be passed to the tabindex attribute of the HTML element that underlies the UI component.

You can assign the following values to this property:

• date - the UI component displays only the date;
• time - the UI component displays only the time;
• datetime - the UI component displays both the date and time.

The following property values are possible:

• auto
  The tooltip with the message is displayed when the editor is in focus.
• always
  The tooltip with the message is not hidden when the editor loses focus.

This property also applies position rules to the component's inner validation message.

The following example positions a validation message at the component's right:

$(function() {
    $("#dateBoxContainer").dxDateBox({
        // ...
        validationMessagePosition: 'right'
    }).dxValidator({
        validationRules: [{
            type: 'required',
            message: 'Required',
        }],
    });
});

<dx-date-box ...
    validationMessagePosition="right">
    <dx-validator>
        <dxi-validation-rule
            type="required"
            message="Required"
        >
        </dxi-validation-rule>
    </dx-validator>
</dx-date-box>

<template>
    <DxDateBox ...
        validation-message-position="right"
    >
        <DxValidator>
            <DxRequiredRule message="Required" />
        </DxValidator>
    </DxDateBox>
</template>

<script>
    // ...
</script>

import React from 'react';
// ...

function App() {
    return (
        <DateBox ...
            validationMessagePosition="right"
        >
            <Validator>
                <RequiredRule message="Required" />
            </Validator>
        </DateBox>
    ); 

};
export default App;

The following table illustrates the validation status indicators:

validationStatus	Indicator
"pending"
"valid"
"invalid"

When you assign "invalid" to validationStatus, you can also use the validationErrors array to set an error message as shown below:

$(function() {
    const dateBox = $("#dateBoxContainer").dxDateBox({
        // ...
    }).dxDateBox("instance");

    function setInvalidStatus(message) {
        dateBox.option({
            validationStatus: "invalid",
            validationErrors: [{ message: message }]
        });
    }
});

<dx-date-box
    [validationStatus]="validationStatus"
    [validationErrors]="validationErrors">
</dx-date-box>

// ...
export class AppComponent {
    validationStatus: string = "valid";
    validationErrors: any;
    // ...
    setInvalidStatus(message) {
        this.validationStatus = "invalid";
        this.validationErrors = [{ message: message }];
    }
}

<template>
    <DxDateBox ...
        :validation-status="validationStatus"
        :validation-errors="validationErrors"
    />
</template>

<script>
    // ...
    export default {
        // ...
        data() {
            return {
                validationStatus: "valid",
                validationErrors: []
            }
        },
        methods: {
            setInvalidStatus(message) {
                this.validationStatus = "invalid";
                this.validationErrors = [{ message: message }];
            }
        }
    }
</script>

import React, { useState } from 'react';
// ...

function App() {
    const [validationStatus, setValidationStatus] = useState("valid");
    const [validationErrors, setValidationErrors] = useState([]);

    const setInvalidStatus = message => {
        setValidationStatus("invalid");
        setValidationErrors([{ message: message }]);
    }

    return (
        <DateBox
            validationStatus={validationStatus}
            validationErrors={validationErrors}
        />
    ); 

};
export default App;

You can use the following formats to specify the current UI component value:

• Date
  Specifies the date directly.

• Number
  Specifies the date with a timestamp (total milliseconds since 1970/01/01).

• String
  Specifies the date as a string value. The UI component supports the following date string formats:

  • "yyyy-MM-dd" (for example, "2017-03-06")
  • "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss" (for example, "2017-03-27T16:54:48")
  • "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ" (for example, "2017-03-27T13:55:41Z")
  • "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssx" (for example, "20170327T16:54:10+03")

If an end user changes the UI component value, the new value is saved in the same format as the initial value.
