The DatePicker has the following predefined views that provides a flexible way to navigate back and forth to select the date.
| View | Description |
|---|---|
| month (default) | Displays the days in a month |
| year | Displays the months in a year |
| decade | Displays the years in a decade |
You can use the
start
property to define the initial rendering view.
The following example demonstrates how to create a DatePicker with
decade
as initial rendering view.
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
// import the datepickercomponent
import { DatePickerComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-calendars';
//creates a datepicker with year view.
class App extends React.Component<{}, {}> {
render() {
return <DatePickerComponent id="datepicker" start="Decade" placeholder="Enter date"/>;
}
}
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('element'));Define the
depth
property to control the view navigation.
Always the depth view has to be smaller than the start view, otherwise the view restriction will be not restricted.
The following example demonstrates how to create a DatePicker that allows users to select a month.
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
// import the datepickercomponent
import { DatePickerComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-calendars';
// creates a datepicker with decade view and navigate up to year view.
class App extends React.Component<{}, {}> {
render() {
return <DatePickerComponent id="datepicker" start="Decade" depth="Year" placeholder="Enter date"/>;
}
}
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('element'));;To know more about Calendar views refer the Calendar’s Calendar Views section.
