This section explains you the steps required to create a simple DateTimePicker and demonstrate the basic usage of the DateTimePicker component.
To get start quickly with React DateTime Picker, you can check on this video:
The below list of dependencies are required to use the DateTimePicker
component in your application.
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-react-calendars
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-react-base
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-base
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-data
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-calendars
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-inputs
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-splitbuttons
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-lists
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-popups
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-buttons
You can use create-react-app
to setup the applications.
To install create-react-app
run the following command.
npm install -g create-react-app
React
sample use following commands.create-react-app quickstart --scripts-version=react-scripts-ts
cd quickstart
All the available Essential JS 2 packages are published in npmjs.com
public registry.
You can choose the component that you want to install. For this application, we are going to use DateTimePicker
component.
To install DateTimePicker component, use the following command
npm install @syncfusion/ej2-react-calendars –save
To render the DateTimePicker component, need to import DateTimePicker and its dependent component’s styles as given below in App.css
.
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-buttons/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-lists/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-inputs/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-popups/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-react-calendars/styles/material.css";
Note: If you want to refer the combined component styles, please make use of our CRG
(Custom Resource Generator) in your application.
DateTimePickerComponent
from ej2-react-calendars
package in App.tsx
.[src/App.tsx]
// import the DateTimePickerComponent
import { DateTimePickerComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-calendars';
import * as React from 'react';
import './App.css';
export default class App extends React.Component<{}, {}> {
public render() {
return <DateTimePickerComponent id="datetimepicker" />;
}
}
Now run the npm start
command in the console, it will run your application and open the browser window.
npm start
The below examples shows the basic DateTimePicker component.
// import the datetimepickercomponent
import { DateTimePickerComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-calendars';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
export default class App extends React.Component {
render() {
return <DateTimePickerComponent id="datetimepicker" placeholder="Select a date and time"/>;
}
}
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('element'));
// import the datetimepickercomponent
import { DateTimePickerComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-calendars';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
export default class App extends React.Component<{}, {}> {
public render() {
return <DateTimePickerComponent id="datetimepicker" placeholder="Select a date and time"/>;
}
}
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('element'));
The minimum and maximum date time can be defined with the help of min
and max
property. The following example demonstrates to set the min
and max
on initializing the DateTimePicker. To know more about range restriction in DateTimePicker, please refer this page.
// import the datetimepicker component
import { DateTimePickerComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-calendars';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
export default class App extends React.Component {
constructor() {
super(...arguments);
// initialize the value, min and max
this.minDate = new Date("11/22/2019 12:00 PM");
this.maxDate = new Date("11/25/2019 5:00 PM");
}
render() {
return <DateTimePickerComponent id="datetimepicker" min={this.minDate} max={this.maxDate}/>;
}
}
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('element'));
// import the datetimepicker component
import {DateTimePickerComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-calendars';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
export default class App extends React.Component<{}, {}> {
// initialize the value, min and max
private minDate: Date = new Date("11/22/2019 12:00 PM");
private maxDate: Date = new Date("11/25/2019 5:00 PM");
public render() {
return <DateTimePickerComponent id="datetimepicker" min={this.minDate} max={this.maxDate} />;
}
}
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('element'));
