Date range in React Datepicker component

23 Jan 20245 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 to select a date within a range from 7th to 27th days in a month.

    }

// import the datepickercomponent
import { DatePickerComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-calendars';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from 'react-dom';

export default class App extends React.Component<{}, {}> {

    private  maxDate: Date = new Date(new Date().getFullYear(), new Date().getMonth(), 27);
    private  dateValue: Date = new Date(new Date().setDate(14));

    public render() {
        return <DatePickerComponent id="datepicker" value={this.dateValue} min={this.minDate} max={this.maxDate} />;
    }
}
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('element'));

[Functional-component]

index.jsx

// import the datepickercomponent
import { DatePickerComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-calendars';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
function App() {
    // creates a datepicker with min and max property
    const minDate = new Date(new Date().getFullYear(), new Date().getMonth(), 7);
    const maxDate = new Date(new Date().getFullYear(), new Date().getMonth(), 27);
    const dateValue = new Date(new Date().setDate(14));
    return <DatePickerComponent id="datepicker" value={dateValue} min={minDate} max={maxDate}/>;
}
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('element'));

index.tsx

// import the datepickercomponent
import { DatePickerComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-calendars';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from 'react-dom';

function App() {
    // creates a datepicker with min and max property
    const minDate: Date = new Date(new Date().getFullYear(), new Date().getMonth(), 7);
    const maxDate: Date = new Date(new Date().getFullYear(), new Date().getMonth(), 27);
    const dateValue: Date = new Date(new Date().setDate(14));

    return <DatePickerComponent id="datepicker" value={dateValue} min={minDate} max={maxDate} />;
}
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('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.
