Date masking in Vue Datepicker component
11 Jun 202410 minutes to read
DatePicker has enableMask property that provides the option to enable the built-in date masking support. Also, you must inject the MaskedDateTime module to enable the masking support.
<template>
<div id="app">
<div class='wrapper'>
<ejs-datepicker id="datepicker" :enableMask="true"></ejs-datepicker>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script setup>
import { provide } from "vue";
import { DatePickerComponent as EjsDatepicker, MaskedDateTime } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-calendars";
provide('datepicker', [MaskedDateTime]);
</script>

@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-popups/styles/material.css';
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-calendars/styles/material.css";
.wrapper {
max-width: 250px;
margin: 0 auto;
}

<script>
import { DatePickerComponent, MaskedDateTime } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-calendars";
export default {
name: "App",
components: {
"ejs-datepicker": DatePickerComponent
},
data: function () {
return {
};
},
provide: {
datepicker: [MaskedDateTime]
}
}

@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-calendars/styles/material.css";
.wrapper {
max-width: 250px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
</style>The mask pattern is defined based on the provided date format to the component. If the format is not specified, the mask pattern is formed based on the default format of the current culture.
| Keys | Actions |
|---|---|
| Up / Down arrows | To increment and decrement the selected portion of the date. |
| Left / Right arrows and Tab | To navigate the selection from one portion to next portion |
The following example demonstrates default and custom format of DatePicker component with mask module.
<template>
<div id="app">
<div class='wrapper1'>
<!-- Specifies the masked datepicker without format property. -->
<ejs-datepicker id="datepicker" :enableMask='true'></ejs-datepicker>
</div>
<div class='wrapper2'>
<!-- Specifies the masked datepicker with format property. -->
<ejs-datepicker id="format" :enableMask='true' :format='dateFormat'></ejs-datepicker>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script setup>
import { provide } from "vue";
import { DatePickerComponent as EjsDatepicker, MaskedDateTime } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-calendars";
const dateFormat = 'M/d/yyyy';
provide('datepicker', [MaskedDateTime]);

11 Jun 202410 minutes to read
You can change mask placeholder value through property maskPlaceholder. By default , it takes the full name of date and time co-ordinates such as day, month, year, hour etc.
While changing to a culture other than English, ensure that locale text for the concerned culture is loaded through load method of L10n class for mask placeholder values like below.
//Load the L10n from ej2-base
import { L10n } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
//load the locale object to set the localized mask placeholder value
L10n.load({
'de': {
'datepicker': { day: 'Tag' , month: 'Monat', year: 'Jahr' }
}
});The following example demonstrates default and customized mask placeholder value.
<template>
<div id="app">
<div class='wrapper1'>
<!-- Specifies the masked datepicker without mask placeholder. -->
<ejs-datepicker id="datepicker" :enableMask="true"></ejs-datepicker>
</div>
<div class='wrapper2'>
<!-- Specifies the masked datepicker with mask placeholder. -->
<ejs-datepicker id="placeholder" :enableMask="true" :maskPlaceholder='maskPlaceholderValue'></ejs-datepicker>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script setup>
import { provide } from "vue";
import { DatePickerComponent as EjsDatepicker, MaskedDateTime } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-calendars";
const maskPlaceholderValue = { day: 'd', month: 'M', year: 'y' };
provide('datepicker', [MaskedDateTime]);
