React DateRangeBox Props

An object that defines configuration properties for the DateRangeBox UI component.

acceptCustomValue

Specifies whether or not the UI component allows an end user to enter a custom value.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: true

accessKey

Specifies the shortcut key that sets focus on the UI component.

Type:

String

Default Value: undefined

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

activeStateEnabled

Specifies whether the UI component changes its visual state as a result of user interaction.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: true

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.

applyButtonText

Specifies the Apply button's text.

Type:

String

Default Value: 'OK'

applyValueMode

Specifies the way an end user applies the selected value.

Default Value: 'instantly'

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.

  • "instantly"
    Applies the selected value immediately after a user clicks the required value in the drop-down menu. To cancel the selection, click outside the drop-down menu.

buttons[]

Allows you to add custom buttons to the input text field.

Selector: Button
Type:

Array<DropDownPredefinedButton | TextEditorButton>

Default Value: undefined

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

calendarOptions

Configures the calendar's value picker.

Default Value: {}

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

Angular
NOTE
The nested component that configures the calendarOptions property does not support event bindings and two-way property bindings.
Vue
NOTE
The nested component that configures the calendarOptions property does not support event bindings and two-way property bindings.

cancelButtonText

Specifies the Cancel button's text.

Type:

String

Default Value: 'Cancel'

dateSerializationFormat

Specifies the date value serialization format.

Type:

String

Default Value: undefined

Date serialization involves date 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.

IMPORTANT
dateSerializationFormat does not support all LDML pattern combinations.

For instance, you can specify the "yyyy-MM-dd" date pattern.

NOTE
  • You can use this property only if you do not specify the initial value. dateSerializationFormat is calculated automatically if you pass a value in the initial configuration.

  • If you specify this property, the value will be a string, not a Date object.

  • If you use API to change the value, make sure that the value has the same format that you specified in this property.

  • This property takes effect only if the forceIsoDateParsing field is set to true in the global configuration object.

    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() {
        $("#dateRangeBoxContainer").dxDateRangeBox({
            // ...
            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
                }
            }
        });
    });

rtlEnabled

Switches the UI component to a right-to-left representation.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false

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.

JavaScript
DevExpress.config({
    rtlEnabled: true
});

If you set this property to auto, the component specifies the validation message position automatically.

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

jQuery

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

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

            <Validator>
                <RequiredRule message="Required" />

Default Value: 'valid'

The following table illustrates the validation status indicators:

validationStatus Indicator
"pending" DevExtreme editor validation status: pending

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

jQuery
index.js
$(function() {
    const dateRangeBox = $("#dateRangeBoxContainer").dxDateRangeBox({
        // ...
    }).dxDateRangeBox("instance");

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

app.component.ts
<dx-date-range-box
    [validationStatus]="validationStatus"
    [validationErrors]="validationErrors">
</dx-date-range-box>
// ...

    validationStatus: string = "valid";
    validationErrors: any;
    // ...
    setInvalidStatus(message) {
        this.validationStatus = "invalid";
        this.validationErrors = [{ message: message }];
    }
}
Vue
App.vue

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

                validationErrors: []
            }
        },
        methods: {
            setInvalidStatus(message) {
                this.validationStatus = "invalid";
                this.validationErrors = [{ message: message }];
            }
        }
    }
</script>
React
App.js
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 (
        <DateRangeBox
            validationStatus={validationStatus}
            validationErrors={validationErrors}
        />
    );

export default App;

value

An array that specifies the selected range (start and end dates).

Type:

You can specify dates in any of the following formats:

    Specifies a date object.

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

  • String

If you change a date value, the new value is saved in the same format as the initial value. We recommend that you specify dates in UTC ISO 8601.
