Project forked

This project is a fork of bootstrap-datepicker project.

Home

As 'bootstrap-datepicker' is restricted to the date scope (day, month, year), this project aims to support too the time picking (hour, minutes).

Screenshots

Decade year view

This view allows to select the day in the selected month.

Year view

This view allows to select the month in the selected year.

Month view

This view allows to select the year in a range of 10 years.

Day view

This view allows to select the hour in the selected day.

Hour view

This view allows to select the preset of minutes in the selected hour. The range of 5 minutes (by default) has been selected to restrict buttons quantity to an acceptable value, but it can be overrided by the minuteStep property.

Day view - meridian

Meridian is supported in both the day and hour views. To use it, just enable the showMeridian property.

Hour view - meridian

Example

Attached to a field with the format specified via options:

<input type="text" value="2012-05-15 21:05" id="datetimepicker">

$('#datetimepicker').datetimepicker({
    format: 'yyyy-mm-dd hh:ii'
});

Attached to a field with the format specified via markup:

<input type="text" value="2012-05-15 21:05" id="datetimepicker" data-date-format="yyyy-mm-dd hh:ii">

$('#datetimepicker').datetimepicker();

As component:

<div class="input-append date" id="datetimepicker" data-date="12-02-2012" data-date-format="dd-mm-yyyy">
    <input size="16" type="text" value="12-02-2012" readonly>
    <span class="add-on"><i class="icon-th"></i></span>
</div>

$('#datetimepicker').datetimepicker();

As inline datetimepicker:

<div id="datetimepicker"></div>

$('#datetimepicker').datetimepicker();

Using bootstrap-datetimepicker.js

Call the datetimepicker via javascript:

$('.datetimepicker').datetimepicker()

Dependencies

Requires bootstrap's dropdown component (dropdowns.less) for some styles, and bootstrap's sprites (sprites.less and associated images) for arrows.

A standalone .css file (including necessary dropdown styles and alternative, text-based arrows) can be generated by running build/build_standalone.less through the lessc compiler:

$ lessc build/build_standalone.less > datetimepicker.css

You can also specify an ISO-8601 valid datetime, despite of the given format :

Events

Datetimepicker class exposes a few events for manipulating the dates.

show

Fired when the date picker is displayed.

hide

Fired when the date picker is hidden.

changeDate

Fired when the date is changed.

$('#date-end')
    .datetimepicker()
    .on('changeDate', function(ev){
        if (ev.date.valueOf() < date-start-display.valueOf()){
            ....
        }
    });

changeYear

Fired when the view year is changed from decade view.

changeMonth

Fired when the view month is changed from year view.

outOfRange

Fired when you pick a date before the startDate or after the endDate or when you specify a date via the method setDate or setUTCDate..

next:* / prev:*

Fired when you click the next or previous arrows. Supports all the differnt view modes ('year', 'month', 'day', 'hour'). For example allows you to bind a callback to 'next:month' or 'prev:month' action.

Keyboard support

The datetimepicker includes some keyboard navigation:

up, down, left, right arrow keys

By themselves, left/right will move backward/forward one day, up/down will move back/forward one week.

With the shift key, up/left will move backward one month, down/right will move forward one month.

With the ctrl key, up/left will move backward one year, down/right will move forward oone year.

Shift+ctrl behaves the same as ctrl -- that is, it does not change both month and year simultaneously, only the year.

escape

The escape key can be used to hide and re-show the datetimepicker; this is necessary if the user wants to manually edit the value.

enter

When the picker is visible, enter will simply hide it. When the picker is not visible, enter will have normal effects -- submitting the current form, etc.

Mouse Wheel View Navigation

In order to make this plugin easier to set different part of date time, mouse wheel has been used to navigate through different views. Scroll up your mouse wheel to navigate to the decade year view. Scroll down will lead to the minute view.

Dependency

To enalbe this feature. jQuery Mouse Wheel Plugin must be included before using this feature.

Options

wheelViewModeNavigation

Boolean. Default: false

Whether or not to enable navigating through different view mode using mouse wheel.

wheelViewModeNavigationInverseDirection

Boolean. Default: false

Whether or not to reverse the direction of scrolling. Default is scroll up to the decade view.

wheelViewModeNavigationDelay

Integer. Default: 100

Time delays between the next respond to the wheel command, it controls the speed between switching in different views. Unit is in million seconds.

About viewSelect option

The recommended value for viewSelect option is 4 when this feature is enable. That means you can easily update any the value in every view. This option value is applied in the demo page.

Feature Demo

A simple Demo page is given to show it's simple idea.

I18N

The plugin supports i18n for the month and weekday names and the weekStart option. The default is English ('en'); other available translations are avilable in the js/locales/ directory, simply include your desired locale after the plugin. To add more languages, simply add a key to $.fn.datetimepicker.dates, before calling .datetimepicker(). Example:

$.fn.datetimepicker.dates['en'] = {
    days: ["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday"],
    daysShort: ["Sun", "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat", "Sun"],
    daysMin: ["Su", "Mo", "Tu", "We", "Th", "Fr", "Sa", "Su"],
    months: ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"],
    monthsShort: ["Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"],
    today: "Today"
};

You can override the default date format in the language configuration with format attribute. Example:

$.fn.datetimepicker.dates['pt-BR'] = {
    format: 'dd/mm/yyyy'
};

Right-to-left languages may also include rtl: true to make the calendar display appropriately.

If your browser (or those of your users) is displaying characters wrong, chances are the browser is loading the javascript file with a non-unicode encoding. Simply add charset="UTF-8" to your script tag:

<script type="text/javascript" src="bootstrap-datetimepicker.de.js" charset="UTF-8"></script>
