Modes configuration

Props for configuring and extending the datepicker when using a specific mode

Info

  • If you use the component in the browser <script> tag, make sure to pass multi-word props with -, for example, textInput as text-input and so on

range configuration

Providing configuration object will automatically enable range picker

ts
interface RangeConfig {
    noDisabledRange?: boolean;
    showLastInRange?: boolean;
    minMaxRawRange?: boolean;
    partialRange?: boolean;

</script>

partialRange

This option is enabled by default, meaning, two dates are not required for range input. If no second date is selected, the value will be null

Should not be used in combination with fixedEnd

  • Default: false
Code Example
vue
<template>
    <VueDatePicker v-model="date" :range="{ fixedStart: true }" :clearable="false" />
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref, onMounted } from 'vue';

  • Default: false
Code Example
vue
<template>
    <VueDatePicker 
        v-model="date" 
        :range="{ noDisabledRange: true }"
        :disabled-dates="disabledDates"

multi-calendars configuration

multi-calendars prop can be extended with the configuration object, instead of passing a boolean or number values, you can provide an object. When the object is provided, prop will be auto enabled.

  • Type:
ts
interface MultiCalendarsOptions {
    solo?: boolean;
    static?: boolean;
    count?: string | number;
}
  • Default: { solo: false, static: true, count: 2 }

solo

When enabled, both calendars will be independent of each other

Code Example
vue
<template>
    <VueDatePicker v-model="date" range :multi-calendars="{ solo: true }" />
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref, onMounted } from 'vue';

const date = ref();

onMounted(() => {
  const startDate = new Date();
  const endDate = new Date(new Date().setDate(startDate.getDate() + 7));
  date.value = [startDate, endDate];
})
</script>

static

The default calendar view when using multi-calendars is to keep it on the month selected by the user. When this prop is disabled, it will auto-update the first calendar when the range starts and adjust the rest of them based on the first month

Code Example
vue
<template>
    <VueDatePicker v-model="date" range :multi-calendars="{ static: false }" />
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref, onMounted } from 'vue';

const date = ref();

onMounted(() => {
  const startDate = new Date();
  const endDate = new Date(new Date().setDate(startDate.getDate() + 7));
  date.value = [startDate, endDate];
})
</script>

text-input configuration

Configuration for text-input prop. When the configuration object is provided, text-input is auto enabled

  • Type:
ts
interface TextInputOptions {
    enterSubmit?: boolean;
    tabSubmit?: boolean;
    openMenu?: boolean;
    rangeSeparator?: string;
    selectOnFocus?: boolean;
    format?: string | string[] | ((value: string) => Date | null);
}
  • Default: { enterSubmit: true, tabSubmit: true, openMenu: true, rangeSeparator: '-' }

Properties explanation:

  • enterSubmit: When enabled, pressing enter will select a date if the input value is a valid date object
  • tabSubmit: When enabled, pressing tab will select a date if the input value is a valid date object
  • openMenu: When enabled, opens the menu when clicking on the input field
  • format: Override the default parsing format. Default is the string value from format. You can also pass multiple parser patterns or a custom parser function and parse the input yourself. When the input is focused, the date will be shown in this format.
  • rangeSeparator: If you use range mode, the default separator is -, you can change it here
  • selectOnFocus: Selects the input text when input is focused
Code Example
vue
<template>
    <VueDatePicker 
      v-model="date"
      placeholder="Start Typing ..."
      :text-input="textInputOptions" />
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue';

const date = ref();
const textInputOptions = {
  format: 'MM.dd.yyyy HH:mm'
};
</script>

inline configuration

Use input with the inline mode, useful if you enable text-input. When the configuration object is provided, inline prop is auto enabled

  • Type:
ts
interface InlineOptions {
    input?: boolean;
}

  • Default: null
Code Example
vue
<template>
  <VueDatePicker v-model="date" multi-dates multi-dates-limit="3" />
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue';

const date = ref();
</script>

partial-flow

When combined with the auto-apply prop, it will set the date as soon as the date is selected without waiting for last flow step to execute

  • Type: boolean
  • Default: false
Code Example
vue
<template>
  <VueDatePicker v-model="date" auto-apply partial-flow :flow="['calendar', 'time']" />
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue';

const date = ref();
</script>

show-last-in-range

Deprecation warning

This prop is deprecated, please refer to range configuration section

By default, when the range is selected, calendar view will remain on the last selection, to return to the first selected date, disable this option

  date.value = [startDate, endDate];
})
</script>

timezone configuration

Configure the timezone conversion behaviour for props that are providing the dates, such as min-date, max-date, disabled-dates and so on

ts
interface TimeZoneConfig {
  timezone?: string;
  exactMatch?: boolean;
  dateInTz?: string;
  emitTimezone?: string;
}

timezone

Same as timezone string prop type, define a timezone for the datepicker

  • Default: undefined

  const tz = computed(() => {
    return { ...timezone.value, timezone: activeTz.value.tz };

exactMatch

When enabled, it will not convert date to the given timezone. If you are providing the Date object, it will remain as is, while UTC string, will be converted to the local timezone

  const tz = computed(() => {
    return { ...timezone.value, timezone: activeTz.value.tz };
  });

dateInTz

This property is checked only if exactMatch is set to true, meaning that if you provide the date from some other timezone other than local, and want that date to be the same, you'll need to provide the original date timezone
