Installation and configuration

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
  • To setup basic React sample use following commands.
create-react-app quickstart --scripts-version=react-scripts-ts

cd quickstart

Adding Syncfusion packages

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

Adding Style sheet to the Application

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.

Adding DateTimePicker component to the Application

  • To include the DateTimePicker component in application import the DateTimePickerComponent from ej2-react-calendars package in App.tsx.

  • Then add the DateTimePicker component as shown in below code example.

[src/App.tsx]

import * as React from 'react';
import './App.css';
// import the DateTimePickerComponent
import { DateTimePickerComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-calendars';

export default class App extends React.Component<{}, {}> {
    render() {
        return <DateTimePickerComponent id="datetimepicker" />;
    }
}

Run the application

Now run the npm start command in the console, it will run your application and open the browser window.

npm start

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.

Source
Preview
index.tsx
index.html
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
// import the datetimepicker component
import {DateTimePickerComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-calendars';

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");

    render() {
        return <DateTimePickerComponent id="datetimepicker" min={this.minDate} max={this.maxDate} />;
    }
}
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('element'));
