Topic: Angular DateTime Picker
MDWebservices priority asked 5 years ago
Hi,
I can see you have a date time picker for jQuery which is exactly what we are looking for withing the angular version, but i cant see this anywhere in your documentation other than with jQuery. Do you have an angular version of this component? Or have a work around to get the date and time input to work within one input or input group?

Many Thanks

Hi @MDWebservices,
I just prepared this component to add it to the documentation. Can you test my code and tell me if you still have problem with the backdrop?
app.component.html
<div class="md-form mdb-date-time">
<input
(focus)="this.datePicker.openBtnClicked()"
#input
class="form-control date-time picker-opener"
data-open="picker2"
placeholder="Date and Time"
type="text"
/>
<mdb-date-picker
(dateChanged)="onDateChange($event)"
[options]="myDatePickerOptions"
#datePicker
></mdb-date-picker>
<mdb-time-picker
(timeChanged)="onTimeChange($event)"
[buttonLabel]="'Done'"
[twelvehour]="false"
#timePicker
></mdb-time-picker>
</div>
app.component.scss
.mdb-date-time {
mdb-date-picker::ng-deep .mydp,
mdb-time-picker::ng-deep .tp {
&,
input,
.md-form {
height: 0;
width: 0;
}
}
}
app.component.ts
import { Component, ViewChild, ElementRef } from '@angular/core';
import { IMyOptions, MDBDatePickerComponent, ClockPickerComponent } from 'ng-uikit-pro-standard';
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./app.component.scss'],
})
export class AppComponent {
@ViewChild('input', { static: true }) input: ElementRef;
@ViewChild('datePicker', { static: true }) datePicker: MDBDatePickerComponent;
@ViewChild('timePicker', { static: true }) timePicker: ClockPickerComponent;
public myDatePickerOptions: IMyOptions = {
// Your options
};
onDateChange = (event: { actualDateFormatted: string; }) => {
this.input.nativeElement.value = event.actualDateFormatted; // set value to input
this.datePicker.closeBtnClicked(); // close date picker
this.timePicker.openBtnClicked(); // open time picker
};
onTimeChange = (event: string) => {
this.input.nativeElement.value = `${this.input.nativeElement.value}, ${event}`; // set value to input
};
}
Best, Konrad.

Hi @MDWebservices,
We do not have an example for this time with Date-Time picker. But you can get a similar example with open programmatically next picker when you close the first modal.
There you can find how to open programmatically picker
https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/angular/forms/date-picker/#open-hide
This same in time picker (API Tab)
https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/angular/forms/time-picker/#a-methods
The Datepicker has inputFocusBlur
Output and then you can open timepicker component.
I propose to make something like this:
- Add normal input to your HTML
- Add hidden Datepicker component
- Add hidden Timepicker component
- Add event onClick to normal input and then open Datepicker
- When you set the date then save value to a variable (or input value)
- And then run
inputFocusBlur
or just run Timepicker remotely - When you set the time then add value to a variable (or to input value)
- And then you have the same component
Please try something like my instruction and then tell me if everything works correctly.
Best, Konrad.

Hi @MDWebservices
Thanks for the response, what you suggested worked a treat, the only think i have been unable to get working is we want to disable the backdrop from closing both the date and time pickers. We tried the ususal modal config settings ([config]="{backdrop: 'static', keyboard: false}") which works for modals but not for theses. Do you have any ideas about how we can disable this from happening?
Many Thanks
Louis
