DateTime Restriction
DateTimePicker provides an option to select a date and time 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 datetime value is out-of-range or invalid, then the model value will be set to out of range datetime value or null respectively with highlighted error class to indicates the datetime 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 { DateTimePicker } from '@syncfusion/ej2-calendars';
let today: Date = new Date();
let currentYear: number = today.getFullYear();
let currentMonth: number = today.getMonth();
let currentDay: number = today.getDate();
let currentHour: number = today.getHours();
let currentMinute: number = today.getMinutes();
let currentSecond: number = today.getSeconds();
// creates a datetimepicker with min max property
let datetimepickerObject: DateTimePicker = new DateTimePicker({
//sets the min.
min: new Date(currentYear, currentMonth, 7, 0, 0, 0),
//sets the max.
max: new Date(currentYear, currentMonth, 27,currentHour,currentMinute,currentSecond),
//sets the value.
value: new Date(new Date().setDate(14))
});
datetimepickerObject.appendTo('#element');<!DOCTYPE html>

minormaxproperties changed through code behind, then you have to update thevalueproperty to set within the range.
Time Restriction
DateTimePicker provides an option to select time value within a specified range by using the minTime
and maxTime properties. Always the minTime value has to be lesser than the maxTime value.
When minTime and maxTime are set, the component will prioritize min if minTime is less than the current min time, and max if maxTime is greater than the current max time. Conversely, it will prioritize minTime if it is greater than the current min time, and maxTime if it is less than the current max time. These behaviors apply only when min and max Dates are selected or pre-bounded, with minTime and maxTime values set for all other dates apart from min and max dates.
The value property depends on the minTime/maxTime with respect to strictMode property.
The below example allows selecting a date within the range from 10:00 AM to 8:30 PM of each day.
import { DateTimePicker } from '@syncfusion/ej2-calendars';
let today: Date = new Date();
let currentYear: number = today.getFullYear();
let currentMonth: number = today.getMonth();
let currentDay: number = today.getDate();
let currentHour: number = today.getHours();
let currentMinute: number = today.getMinutes();
let currentSecond: number = today.getSeconds();
// creates a datetimepicker with min max property
let datetimepickerObject: DateTimePicker = new DateTimePicker({
//sets the minTime.
minTime: new Date(currentYear, currentMonth, 7, 10),
//sets the maxTime.
maxTime: new Date(currentYear, currentMonth, 27, 20, 30),
//sets the value.
value: new Date(new Date().setDate(14))
});
datetimepickerObject.appendTo('#element');<!DOCTYPE html>
