EDateTimePicker – Mobile Responsive Date Time Picker

Introduction to EDateTimePicker - Mobile Responsive Date Time Picker

Choosing the right date and time picker for your web application can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to ensuring that it is mobile responsive and user-friendly. The EDateTimePicker is a powerful and intuitive date and time picker that is designed to work seamlessly on both desktop and mobile devices. In this tutorial, we will explore how to use the EDateTimePicker to add a mobile responsive date and time picker to your web application.

Prerequisites

Before starting this tutorial, make sure you have the following:

• A basic understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
• A web development environment set up (e.g. Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, etc.)
• A version of the EDateTimePicker library installed in your project (you can get it from npm or include it in your HTML file)

Step 1: Include the EDateTimePicker Library

To start using the EDateTimePicker, you need to include the library in your HTML file. You can do this by adding the following script tag:

<script src="path/to/edatetimepicker.min.js"></script>

Replace path/to/edatetimepicker.min.js with the actual path to the EDateTimePicker library file.

Step 2: Create a Container for the EDateTimePicker

Create a container element in your HTML file where you want to render the EDateTimePicker. This can be a div element or any other element that has a unique ID. For example:

<div id="datetime-picker-container"></div>

Step 3: Initialize the EDateTimePicker

Use JavaScript to initialize the EDateTimePicker and set the container element as the target. Here's an example:

const datetimePicker = new EDateTimePicker({
  container: document.getElementById('datetime-picker-container'),
  format: 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss',
  value: new Date()
});

In this example, we create a new instance of the EDateTimePicker and pass in the container element, the format of the date and time string, and the initial value of the date and time picker.

Step 4: Customize the EDateTimePicker

The EDateTimePicker has several options that you can customize to fit your needs. For example, you can set the minimum and maximum date and time values, add custom buttons, and change the language. Here are a few examples:

datetimePicker.minimumDate = new Date('2022-01-01');
datetimePicker.maximumDate = new Date('2025-12-31');
datetimePicker.buttons = [
  {
    text: 'Reset',
    callback: () => {
      datetimePicker.value = new Date();
    }
  }
];

In this example, we set the minimum date to January 1st, 2022 and the maximum date to December 31st, 2025. We also add a custom button called "Reset" that sets the date and time value to the current date and time when clicked.

Step 5: Add Event Listeners

Add event listeners to the EDateTimePicker to respond to user interactions. For example, you can listen for the change event to get the new value of the date and time picker:

datetimePicker.on('change', (value) => {
  console.log(`New value: ${value}`);
});

Step 6: Display the EDateTimePicker

Finally, display the EDateTimePicker by calling the show method:

datetimePicker.show();

That's it! With these steps, you should now have a mobile responsive date and time picker up and running in your web application.

Conclusion

The EDateTimePicker is a powerful and intuitive date and time picker that is designed to work seamlessly on both desktop and mobile devices. By following this tutorial, you should now have a good understanding of how to use the EDateTimePicker to add a mobile responsive date and time picker to your web application. Remember to customize the EDateTimePicker to fit your specific needs and add event listeners to respond to user interactions. Happy coding!
