Options
data attribute e.g. $('#datetimepicker').data("DateTimePicker").OPTION()
options()
Returns the components current options object. Note that the changing the values of the returned object does not change the components actual configuration. Use options(options) to set the components options massively or the other methods for setting config options individually.
options([options])
Takes an object variable with option key:value properties and configures the component. Use this to update multiple options on the component.
date
Returns the component's model current date, a moment object or null if not set.
date([newDate])
Takes string, Date, moment, null parameter and sets the components model current moment to it. Passing a null value unsets the components model current moment. Parsing of the newDate parameter is made using moment library with the options.format and options.useStrict components configuration.
Throws
TypeError- in case thenewDatecannot be parsed
Emits
dp.change- In casenewDateis different from current moment
format
Default: false
See momentjs' docs for valid formats. Format also dictates what components are shown, e.g. MM/dd/YYYY will not display the time picker.
format()
Returns the component's options.format string
format(format)
Takes a moment.js format string and sets the components options.format. This is used for displaying and also for parsing input strings either from the input element the component is attached to or the date() function.
The parameter can also be a boolean:false in which case the format is set to the locale's L LT.
Note: this is also used to determine if the TimePicker sub component will display the hours in 12 or 24 format. (if 'a' or 'h' exists in the passed string then a 12 hour mode is set)
dayViewHeaderFormat
Default: 'MMMM YYYY'
Changes the heading of the datepicker when in "days" view.
dayViewHeaderFormat()
Returns a string variable with the currently set options.dayViewHeaderFormat option.
dayViewHeaderFormat(string)
Takes a string value.
Used to customize the header of the day view.
extraFormats
Default: false
Allows for several input formats to be valid. See this PR.
extraFormats()
Returns a boolean or array with the options.extraFormats option configuration
extraFormats(formats)
Takes an array of valid input moment format options.
stepping
Default: 1
Number of minutes the up/down arrow's will move the minutes value in the time picker
stepping()
Returns a number with the options.stepping option configuration
stepping(number)
Takes a number. This be the amount the up/down arrows move the minute value with a time picker.
min/maxDate
Default: false
Accepts: date, moment, string
Prevents date/time selections before this date. Will override defaultDate and useCurrent if either of these settings are the same day since both options are invalid according to the rules you've selected.
minDate()
Returns the currently set moment of the options.minDate or false if not set
minDate(minDate)
Takes a minDate string, Date, moment, boolean:false parameter and disallows the user to select a moment that is before that moment. If a boolean:false value is passed the options.minDate parameter is cleared and there is no restriction to the miminum moment the user can select.
Note: If the minDate parameter is after the currently selected moment the currently selected moment changes to minDate parameter
Throws
-
TypeError- if minDate parameter cannot be parsed using theoptions.formatandoptions.useStrictconfiguration settings -
TypeError- if minDate parameter is afteroptions.maxDate
Emits
-
dp.change- if the new minDate is after currently selected moment (waiting for #472 to close in order to finalize this part) -
dp.error- if the new minDate is after currently selected moment (waiting for #472 to close in order to finalize this part)
maxDate()
Returns the currently set moment of the options.maxDate or false if not set
maxDate(maxDate)
Takes a maxDate string, Date, moment, boolean:false parameter and disallows the user to select a moment that is after that moment. If a boolean:false value is passed options.maxDate is cleared and there is no restriction to the maximum moment the user can select.
Note: If maxDate is before the currently selected moment the currently selected moment changes to maxDate
Throws
-
TypeError- if maxDate parameter cannot be parsed using theoptions.formatandoptions.useStrictconfiguration settings -
TypeError- if maxDate parameter is beforeoptions.minDate
Emits
-
dp.change- if the new maxDate is after currently selected moment (waiting for #472 to close in order to finalize this part) -
dp.error- if the new maxDate is after currently selected moment (waiting for #472 to close in order to finalize this part)
useCurrent
Default: true
On show, will set the picker to the current date/time.
useCurrent()
Returns a boolean or string with the options.useCurrent option configuration
useCurrent(boolean or string)
Takes a boolean or string. If a boolean true is passed and the components model moment is not set (either through setDate or through a valid value on the input element the component is attached to) then the first time the user opens the datetimepicker widget the value is initialized to the current moment of the action. If a false boolean is passed then no initialization happens on the input element. You can select the granularity on the initialized moment by passing one of the following strings ('year', 'month', 'day', 'hour', 'minute') in the variable.
If for example you pass 'day' to the setUseCurrent function and the input field is empty the first time the user opens the datetimepicker widget the input text will be initialized to the current datetime with day granularity (ie if currentTime = 2014-08-10 13:32:33 the input value will be initialized to 2014-08-10 00:00:00)
Note: If the options.defaultDate is set or the input element the component is attached to has already a value that takes precedence and the functionality of useCurrent is not triggered!

enabledDates()
Returns an array with the currently set enabled dates on the component.
enabledDates(dates)
Takes an [ string or Date or moment ] of values and allows the user to select only from those days. Setting this takes precedence over options.minDate, options.maxDate configuration. Also calling this function removes the configuration of options.disabledDates if such exist.
