Import DateRangePicker module into Angular application(src/app/app.module.ts) from the package @syncfusion/ej2-angular-calendars.
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
// import the DateRangePickerModule for the DateRangPicker component
import { DateRangePickerModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-calendars';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
@NgModule({
//declaration of DateRangePickerModule into NgModule
imports: [ BrowserModule, DateRangePickerModule ],
declarations: [ AppComponent ],
bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule { }The following CSS files are available in ../node_modules/@syncfusion package folder.
This can be referenced in [src/styles.css] using following code.
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-buttons/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-inputs/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-popups/styles/material.css';

@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-calendars/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-angular-calendars/styles/material.css';If you want to refer the combined component styles, please make use of our
CRG(Custom Resource Generator) in your application.
Modify the template in [src/app/app.component.ts] file to render the DateRangePicker component. by using <ejs-daterangepicker> selector.
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
template: `<!-- To Render DateRangePicker -->
<ejs-daterangepicker></ejs-daterangepicker>`
})
export class AppComponent { }After completing the configuration required to render a basic DateRangePicker, run the following command to display the output in your default browser.
ng serveThe following example illustrates the output in your browser
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
template: `<ejs-daterangepicker></ejs-daterangepicker>`
})
export class AppComponent {
constructor() {
}
}import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { DateRangePickerModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-calendars';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
/**

*/
@NgModule({
imports: [
BrowserModule,
FormsModule,
DateRangePickerModule
],
declarations: [AppComponent],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { enableProdMode } from '@angular/core';
import { AppModule } from './app.module';
enableProdMode();
platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);The start and end date in a range can be set by using startDate and endDate properties. To know more about range restriction in DateRangePicker, please refer this page.
The below example demonstrates the DateRangePicker with startDate and endDate.
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
template: `<ejs-daterangepicker placeholder='Select a range' [startDate]='start' [endDate]='end'></ejs-daterangepicker>`
})
export class AppComponent {
public month: number = new Date().getMonth();
public fullYear: number = new Date().getFullYear();
public start: Date = new Date(this.fullYear, this.month - 1 , 7);
public end: Date = new Date(this.fullYear, this.month, 25);
constructor() {
