react-bootstrap-daterangepicker

🚨 Deprecation Notice 🚨

I put this project on github because I used it briefly for a project back in 2014. I haven't used it for years, and have recommended looking for a "pure react" date picker library. I might continue to merge small PRs, but will not be giving this library much/any support. I recommend using one of the other react date picker libraries listed below.

Description

A date/time picker for react (using bootstrap). This is a react wrapper around an existing jQuery/bootstrap library (it is not a pure react port):

bootstrap-daterangepicker

Getting Started

Install the needed peer dependencies: npm install --save bootstrap-daterangepicker react jquery moment
Install the module with: npm install --save react-bootstrap-daterangepicker
Include the bootstrap@4 css and fonts in your project. (aka import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css';)
Include the bootstrap-daterangepicker css in your project. (aka import 'bootstrap-daterangepicker/daterangepicker.css';)
This is a commonjs library. You will need a tool like browserify/webpack/etc to build your code.

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import DateRangePicker from 'react-bootstrap-daterangepicker';
// you will need the css that comes with bootstrap@3. if you are using
// a tool like webpack, you can do the following:
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css';
// you will also need the css that comes with bootstrap-daterangepicker
import 'bootstrap-daterangepicker/daterangepicker.css';

class MyComponent {
  render() {
    return (
      <DateRangePicker
        initialSettings={{ startDate: '1/1/2014', endDate: '3/1/2014' }}
      >
        <button>Click Me To Open Picker!</button>
      </DateRangePicker>
    );
  }
}

Documentation

For in depth documentation, see the original bootstrap-daterangepicker project page.

You can pass all the settings from the original plugin to the initialSettings prop:

<input>, alwaysShowCalendars, applyButtonClasses, applyClass, autoApply, autoUpdateInput, buttonClasses, cancelButtonClasses, cancelClass, dateLimit, drops, endDate, isCustomDate, isInvalidDate, linkedCalendars, locale, maxDate, maxSpan, maxYear, minDate, minYear, moment, opens, parentEl, ranges, showCustomRangeLabel, showDropdowns, showISOWeekNumbers, showWeekNumbers, singleDatePicker, startDate, template, timePicker, timePicker24Hour, timePickerIncrement, timePickerSeconds

You can listen to the following 8 events:

onShow: callback(event, picker) thrown when the widget is shown
onHide: callback(event, picker) thrown when the widget is hidden
onShowCalendar: callback(event, picker) thrown when the calendar is shown
onHideCalendar: callback(event, picker) thrown when the calendar is hidden
onApply: callback(event, picker) thrown when the apply button is clicked
onCancel: callback(event, picker) thrown when the cancel button is clicked
onEvent: callback(event, picker) thrown when any of the 6 events above are triggered
onCallback: callback(start, end, label) thrown when the start/end dates change

You MUST pass a single child element to the <DateRangePicker /> component- and it MUST be a DOM element. Passing custom react components is not currently supported b/c this lib needs a single dom node to initialize.

NOTE: This component should be used as an Uncontrolled Component. If you try to control the value of your child <input />, then you will probably encounter issues.

There are 2 methods from the upstream lib that can be called: setStartDate and setEndDate, but you need to use refs when doing so. Please view the storybook for an example of this.

Examples

Simple button example

<DateRangePicker>
  <button type="button" className="btn btn-primary">
    click to open
  </button>
</DateRangePicker>

Simple input example

<DateRangePicker>
  <input type="text" className="form-control" />
</DateRangePicker>

Initialize with a startDate and endDate

<DateRangePicker
  initialSettings={{ startDate: '01/01/2020', endDate: '01/15/2020' }}
>
  <input type="text" className="form-control" />
</DateRangePicker>

Example event handler:

class SomeReactComponent extends React.Component {
  handleEvent(event, picker) {
    console.log(picker.startDate);
  }
  handleCallback(start, end, label) {
    console.log(start, end, label);
  }
  render() {
    return (
      <DateRangePicker onEvent={this.handleEvent} onCallback={this.handleCallback}>
        <input />
      </DateRangePicker>;
  }
}
