How can I add a double click event on a flatpickr-day element

I have some flatpickr calendars with day and time, and I want to close the calender when I double click on a flatpickr-day element in the calendar.
I tried to add a double click listener in the flatpickr options, the onOpen field
var flatpckr_options = {
enableTime: true,
altInput: true,
altFormat: "d-m-Y H:i",
dateFormat: "Y-m-d H:i",
time_24hr: true,
allowInput: true,
onOpen: function(selectedDates, dateStr, instance) {
[...instance.calendarContainer.querySelectorAll(".flatpickr-day")].map(x => x.addEventListener('dblclick', function (e) {
calendars.map(x => x.close());
console.log("double click");
}));
}
};
const calendars = flatpickr(".calendar", flatpckr_options);
https://jsfiddle.net/p3e0da6r/2/
however the double click event doesn't get triggered on the flatpickr-day element, how can I get it to work?
I think it's because once I click on a day it changes focus to the flatpickr-time element, if I didn't have the time element the calendar would close on single click inside a flatpickr-day element by default, but I do need the time element as well.

There are many issues with your code -
First of all your input is a normal input, you need to add the attribute data-input so that your flatpickr work.
<input type='text' id='date' class='calendar' data-input/>
In the onOpen function - [...instance.calendarContainer.querySelectorAll("flatpickr-day")], flatpickr-day is a class and not a standalone element. You can select by .flatpickr-day.
[...instance.calendarContainer.querySelectorAll(".flatpickr-day")]
You need to use the event of https://flatpickr.js.org/events/, instead of dblclick use onChange.
Here is the working fiddle - https://jsfiddle.net/mkwa9bhv/
Note - variables declared with const are not hoisted. Declare const calendars = flatpickr(".calendar", flatpckr_options); at the top, so that it will be available within your flatpckr_options.

A less than perfect solution, but gets the job done for what I need right now:
var new_date = 0, old_date = 0;
// ... inside the flatpickr options, for the onChange event
onChange: function(selectedDates, dateStr, instance) {
old_date = new Date();
[...instance.calendarContainer.querySelectorAll(".flatpickr-day")].map(x => x.addEventListener('mousedown', function (e) {
new_date = new Date();
let diff = new_date - old_date; // in ms < 500ms => double click
if (diff <= 500) {
calendars.map(y => y.close());
}
old_date = new_date;
}));
},

jquery function stoped after unbind

I have a function that gets executed to change my datepicker to get new values. After I select my drop down 'changeme' it works. The next time I try nothing happens? I am not unbinding the changme drop down box.
$("#changeme").change(function()
{
var d = newvalues();
$("#sdate, #edate").removeClass("datepicker hasDatepicker");
$("#sdate, #edate").unbind();
$("#sdate, #edate").addClass("datepicker");
$(".datepicker" ).datepicker({changeMonth: true, changeYear: true, dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd", minDate:d.start_date,maxDate:d.stop_date, yearRange:d.start_year[0]+":"+d.stop_year[0]});
submitform();
}
function newvalues()
{
var s_date = $("#changeme > :selected").data('start_date');
var s_year = s_date.split("-");
var st_date = $("#changeme > :selected").data('stop_date');
var st_date = $("#changeme > :selected").data('stop_date');
return {start_date:s_date,
start_year:s_year, stop_year:st_year,stop_date:st_date
};
}
*************** update *********************
Sorry my $("#sdate").change(function(){submitform();}); stops working.
$("#startdate").change(function()
submitform();
});
All it does is submits the form with new values. I will try to post a working copy. But I am getting no errors.
Once the page loads or you select run and you type into the first text box it works. Once you select an option from the drop down menu and try to update the text box. the change function doesn't fire.
Here is a link to a fiddle.
JS fiddle

Figured it out. changed how i was using jquery a bit. I ended up removing the unbind and adding $dateField.datepicker("option", {changeMonth: true, changeYear: true, dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd", minDate:d.start_date,maxDate:d.stop_date, yearRange:d.start_year[0]+":"+d.stop_year[0]});

Bootstrap datepicker close function

I am trying to make function call on bootstrap datepicker when user clicks outside of calendar.
When user selects date datepicker closes automatically, same when user clicks outside of the datepicker div, it closes itself.
So my question is how can I understand when its closed? I know there is an event called onClose but it only works when page loads
fiddle

Use the .on("hide"... event.
From the docs:
$('.datepicker').datepicker()
.on(picker_event, function(e) {
// `e` here contains the extra attributes
});
For your example... picker_event will be hide.
Something like:
var checkin = $('#date-from').datepicker({
format: 'dd/mm/yyyy',
startDate: '+1d',
weekStart: 1,
beforeShowDay: function(date) {
return date.valueOf() >= now.valueOf();
},
autoclose: true
}).on('changeDate', function(ev) {
alert("changed");
}).on('hide', function(ev) { // <-----------
alert("hide");
});
Updated fiddle
bootstrap-datepicker events
bootstrap-datepicker hide event

As per the documentation here: https://bootstrap-datepicker.readthedocs.io/en/latest/events.html#hide
$('.datepicker').datepicker()
.on('hide', function(e) {
// `e` here contains the extra attributes
});
Or
$('.datepicker').datepicker()
.on('hide', myFunction);
And then create myFunction
function myFunction(e) {
// whatever you want :)
}
Here is your example with little modify https://jsfiddle.net/mr3dxj5p/6/ here you can see I just change changeDate to hide to fire alert message

bootstrap datepicker change date event doesnt fire up when manually editing dates or clearing date

<script type="text/javascript">
// When the document is ready
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.datepicker').datepicker({
format: "yyyy-mm-dd",
}).on('changeDate', function(ev){
// do what you want here
$(this).datepicker('hide');
}).on('changeDate', function(ev){
if ($('#startdate').val() != '' && $('#enddate').val() != ''){
$('#period').text(diffInDays() + ' d.');
} else {
$('#period').text("-");
}
});
});
</script>
So here's what my datepicker looks like. So basically when I change date by clicking mouse it works good, however when I manually change date with keyboard or manually clear the date change date event doesn't get called. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong here ?

You have to use the change event on the input itself if you want to respond to manual input, because the changeDate event is only for when the date is changed using the datepicker.
Try something like this:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.datepicker').datepicker({
format: "yyyy-mm-dd",
})
//Listen for the change even on the input
.change(dateChanged)
.on('changeDate', dateChanged);
});
function dateChanged(ev) {
$(this).datepicker('hide');
if ($('#startdate').val() != '' && $('#enddate').val() != '') {
$('#period').text(diffInDays() + ' d.');
} else {
$('#period').text("-");
}
}

changeDate has been renamed to change.dp so changedate was not working for me
$("#datetimepicker").datetimepicker().on('change.dp', function (e) {
FillDate(new Date());
});
also needed to change css class from datepicker to datepicker-input
<div id='datetimepicker' class='datepicker-input input-group controls'>
<input id='txtStartDate' class='form-control' placeholder='Select datepicker' data-rule-required='true' data-format='MM-DD-YYYY' type='text' />
<span class='input-group-addon'>
<span class='icon-calendar' data-time-icon='icon-time' data-date-icon='icon-calendar'></span>
</span>
</div>
Date formate also works in capitals like this data-format='MM-DD-YYYY'
it might be helpful for someone it gave me really hard time :)

The new version has changed.. for the latest version use the code below:
$('#UpToDate').datetimepicker({
format:'MMMM DD, YYYY',
maxDate:moment(),
defaultDate:moment()
}).on('dp.change',function(e){
console.log(e);
});

Try this:
$(".datepicker").on("dp.change", function(e) {
alert('hey');
});

I found a short solution for it.
No extra code is needed just trigger the changeDate event. E.g.
$('.datepicker').datepicker().trigger('changeDate');

Try with below code sample.it is working for me
var date_input_field = $('input[name="date"]');
date_input_field .datepicker({
dateFormat: '/dd/mm/yyyy',
container: container,
todayHighlight: true,
autoclose: true,
}).on('change', function(selected){
alert("startDate..."+selected.timeStamp);
});

This should make it work in both cases
function onDateChange() {
// Do something here
}
$('#dpd1').bind('changeDate', onDateChange);
$('#dpd1').bind('input', onDateChange);

Depending which date picker for Bootstrap you're using, this is a known bug currently with this one:
Code: https://github.com/uxsolutions/bootstrap-datepicker
(Docs: https://bootstrap-datepicker.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)
Here's a bug report:
https://github.com/uxsolutions/bootstrap-datepicker/issues/1957
If anyone has a solution/workaround for this one, would be great if you'd include it.

I have this version about datetimepicker https://tempusdominus.github.io/bootstrap-4/ and for any reason doesn`t work the change event with jquery but with JS vanilla it does
I figure out like this
document.getElementById('date').onchange = function(){ ...the jquery code...}
I hope work for you

I was using AngularJS and AngularStrap 2.3.7 and trying to catch the 'change' event by listening to a <form> element (not the input itself) and none of the answers here worked for me. I tried to do:
$(form).on('change change.dp dp.change changeDate' function () {...})
And nothing would fire. I ended up listening to the focus and blur events and setting a custom property before/after on the element itself:
// special hack to make bs-datepickers fire change events
// use timeout to make sure they all exist first
$timeout(function () {
$('input[bs-datepicker]').on('focus', function (e){
e.currentTarget.focusValue = e.currentTarget.value;
});
$('input[bs-datepicker]').on('blur', function (e){
if (e.currentTarget.focusValue !== e.currentTarget.value) {
var event = new Event('change', { bubbles: true });
e.currentTarget.dispatchEvent(event);
}
});
})
This basically manually checks the value before and after the focus and blur and dispatches a new 'change' event. The { bubbles: true } bit is what got the form to detect the change. If you have any datepicker elements inside of an ng-if you'll need to wrap the listeners in a $timeout to make sure the digest happens first so all of your datepicker elements exist.
Hope this helps someone!

How to catch keyboard keys if jqueryUI datepicker is active

jqgrid column contains jqueryUI DataPicker used in inline edit mode.
If DataPicker input element has focus and Ctrl+S or some other key is is pressed, body_onkeydown is not executed: IE9 invokes ctrl+s default behaviour (save dialog). In FireFox body_onkeydown is also not executed.
How to fix this code so keys can catched if DatePicker has focus ?
DatePicker is defined as:
$(elem).datepicker({
dateFormat: 'dd.mm.yy',
autoSize: true,
showOn: 'button',
changeYear: true,
changeMonth: true,
showButtonPanel: true,
showWeek: true
});
Code used to catch ctrl+s keypress is:
$(function () {
$("html").keydown(body_onkeydown);
});
function body_onkeydown(evt) {
// Why this function is not executed if datepicker has focus?
if (evt.ctrlKey) {
switch (evt.keyCode) {
case 83: $("#grid_savebutton").click(); break;
}
cancel(evt);
return false;
}
function cancel(evt) {
evt.returnValue = false;
evt.keyCode = 0;
evt.cancelBubble = true;
evt.preventDefault();
evt.stopPropagation();
}

It's a good question! In the code of jqGrid you can fine sometime return false or stopPropagation inside of event handles which I personally find unneeded. In your case the problem make the line 8237 of the jquery.jqGrid.src.js (in version 4.1.2) or the line 87 of the grid.inlinedit.js (see here):
e.stopPropagation();
If you comment the like the inline editing will not more stop propagation of the keydown event and how you could see on the demo you will be able to catch Ctrl+S during inline editing.
