Date range in EJ2 TypeScript Datepicker control

16 Jun 20233 minutes to read

DatePicker provides an option to select a date value within a specified range by using the min and max properties. Always the min value has to be lesser than the max value.

When the min and max properties are configured and the selected date value is out-of-range or invalid, then the model value will be set to out of range date value or null respectively with highlighted error class to indicates the date is out of range or invalid.

The value property depends on the min/max with respect to strictMode property.

The below example allows selecting a date within the range from 7th to 27th day in a month.

import { DatePicker } from '@syncfusion/ej2-calendars';
let today: Date = new Date();
let currentYear: number = today.getFullYear();
let currentMonth: number = today.getMonth();
let currentDay: number = today.getDate();
// creates a datepicker with min max property
let datepickerObject: DatePicker = new DatePicker({
    //sets the min.
    min: new Date(currentYear, currentMonth, 7),
    //sets the max.
    max: new Date(currentYear, currentMonth, 27),
    //sets the value.
    value: new Date(new Date().setDate(14))
});
datepickerObject.appendTo('#element');

 If the value of min or max properties changed through code behind, then you have to update the value property to set within the range.
