The DateRangePicker is available for UI customization that can be achieved by using available properties and events in the component.

Day cell format

The DateRangePicker is available for UI customization based on your application requirements. It can be achieved by using renderDayCell event that provides an option to customize each day cell on rendering.

The following example disables the weekends of every month by using renderDayCell event.

var daterangepicker = new ej.calendars.DateRangePicker({
        placeholder: 'Select a range',
        renderDayCell: onRenderCell,
    });
    daterangepicker.appendTo('#element');

    function onRenderCell(args) {
    if (args.date.getDay() == 0 || args.date.getDay() == 6) {
        //sets isDisabled to true to disable the date.
        args.isDisabled = true;
    }

}

Preset Ranges

DateRangePicker provides an option to set the predefined ranges via presets property with the corresponding label. This property will accept the values in the order of label, start date (date object), end date (date object), and append these ranges to the presets pop-up for quick selection. In the following sample, you can easily choose the frequently used range options from the list of ranges.

let today = new Date();
    var currentYear = today.getFullYear();
    var currentMonth = today.getMonth();
    var currentDay = today.getDate();

      var daterangepicker = new ej.calendars.DateRangePicker({
        placeholder: 'Select a range',
          presets: [
            { label: 'Today', start: new Date(), end: new Date() },
            { label: 'This Month', start: new Date(new Date().setDate(1)), end: new Date() },
            { label: 'Last Month', start: new Date(new Date(new Date().setMonth(new Date().getMonth() - 1)).setDate(1)), end: new Date() },
            { label: 'Last Year', start: new Date(new Date().getFullYear() - 1, 0, 1), end: new Date() },

        ]
    });
    daterangepicker.appendTo('#element');
