Display specific dates in bootstrap datepicker

I'm using bootstrap date picker in my project. It's a session booking project. From the admin panel, I add the sessions for specific dates and I want the user's of my website to be able to see the dates for which I have added a session. My frontend receives the data from database. The data contains all the dates for which I have added a session. I want my datepicker to display only these dates from the data and disable the other dates.
Currently I have temporarily used a select box to solve this issue. But a datepicker would be better as it looks good is easy to navigate.
See the picture below. This is how I have used a select box to temporarily solve the problem
Here is the desired output that I want
It should be a datepicker with only those dates enabled which I receive from the database. The other dates should be disabled
I tried searching it on google but I'm not able to find the solution. Is this possible using bootstrap date picker? If yes, please suggest a workaround.

You can use beforeShowDay function to enable only the dates returned from your back end system.
Documentation here
This function is executed for every date, it checks if it is present in the list of applicable dates, returns true if present and enables it, else returns false and disables it.
$(function () {
let enabledDates = ['2018-10-03', '2018-10-04', '2018-10-05', '2018-10-06', '2018-10-07', '2018-10-08'];
$('#datepicker').datepicker({
format: 'yyyy-mm-dd',
beforeShowDay: function (date) {
let fullDate = date.getFullYear() + '-' + (date.getMonth() + 1) + '-' + date.getDate();
return enabledDates.indexOf(fullDate) != -1
}
});
});
beforeShowDay function also allows you to return classes for custom styling
beforeShowDay: function (date) {
let fullDate = date.getFullYear() + '-' + (date.getMonth() + 1) + '-' + date.getDate();
if (enabledDates.indexOf(fullDate) != -1) {
return {
classes: 'enabled',
tooltip: 'You can select this date'
};
} else
return false
}
.enabled {
background: #DCDCDC;
}

None of the other solutions worked for me so here is my solution.
The documentation is not so clear and lacks of example but you can see a function that takes a date as a parameter and returns a Boolean, indicating whether or not this date is selectable
In this snippet, look at January 2020 for example in order to see only the active dates.
$(document).ready(function() {
var datesEnabled = [
'2021-01-01', '2021-01-11', '2021-01-21',
'2021-02-01', '2021-02-11', '2021-02-21',
'2021-03-01', '2021-03-11', '2021-03-21',
'2021-04-01', '2021-04-11', '2021-04-21',
'2021-05-01', '2021-05-11', '2021-05-21'
];
$("#datepicker-lorem").datepicker({
language: "fr",
autoclose: true,
todayHighlight: true,
todayBtn: true,
title: 'Test ;-)',
weekStart: 1,
format: 'dd/mm/yyyy',
// On n'active que les dates possibles
beforeShowDay: function(date) {
var allDates = date.getFullYear() + "-" + ('0' + (date.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2) + "-" + ('0' + date.getDate()).slice(-2);
if (datesEnabled.indexOf(allDates) != -1) {
return {
classes: 'date-possible',
tooltip: 'Vous pouvez choisir cette date'
}
} else {
return false;
}
}
});
});
/* For better frontend result, add class to active date and add opacity to disabled date */
td.day.disabled {
opacity: 0.4;
}
td.date-possible {
background-color: red;
color: white;
}

hi i am using data range picker for filter option. there is change with default date picker range is . here i am using a div instead of text box. so tthat i need the selected start date and end date in a variable how can i due it?. i try like this way...
$('#Date').daterangepicker();

// var range = $('#Date').datarangepicker.getRange();
// var startDate = range.start;
// var endDate = range.end;
var x =$('#Date').data('daterangepicker').StartDate()
alert(x);
});
<!-- Include Required Prerequisites -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/momentjs/latest/moment.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/bootstrap/3/css/bootstrap.css" />
<!-- Include Date Range Picker -->

<div id="Date" class="col-xs-5 col-md-4 paddingNull filterImageAlign" >here select</div>

Try this.
var startDate = $('#Date').data('daterangepicker').startDate._d;
var endDate = $('#Date').data('daterangepicker').endDate._d;

If you need to get it formatted locally
$('#Date').daterangepicker().on('apply.daterangepicker', function (e, picker) {
var startDate = picker.startDate.format('DD-MM-YYYY');
var endDate = picker.endDate.format('HH:mm');
})

Read the docs about the Date Object: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_obj_date.asp.
Everything you need is described there.
Have a look at the following code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<input id="dateInput" type="text"></input>
<button id="convertButton">Convert to string</button>
<a id="dateString"></a>
<script type="text/javascript">
var dateInput = document.getElementById("dateInput");
var button = document.getElementById("convertButton");
var dateString = document.getElementById("dateString");
var date;
button.onclick = function() {
var year = 2000+ parseInt(dateInput.value.split("/")[2]);
var month = dateInput.value.split("/")[0];
var day = dateInput.value.split("/")[1];
date = new Date(year, month, day);
dateString.innerHTML = date.toDateString();
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
This html page does exactly what you want.

How to implement the DATE PICKER in PhoneGap/Android?

I have tried to implement the date picker in android. I want it to get the data and show it in the text format
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="cordova-2.5.0.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="datePickerPlugin.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
function dateTest() {
var myNewDate = new Date();
window.plugins.datePicker.show({
date : myNewDate,
mode : 'date', // date or time or blank for both
allowOldDates : true
}, function(returnDate) {
var newDate = new Date(returnDate);
currentField.val(newDate.toString("dd/MMM/yyyy"));
// This fixes the problem you mention at the bottom of this script with it not working a second/third time around, because it is in focus.
currentField.blur();
});
}
</script>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff">
<hr>DatePicker Test<hr><br>
<input type="button" onClick ="dateTest()" value ="Today's Date!!" />
<div id="view"></div>
</body>
</html>
I am getting it as an alert...but unable to store it as a string on the same page

Why loose ur head?
A <input type="date"> will allways deppend on device's interpretation of it, in some android devices it doesn't even work,
There is plenty of plugins, addons, whatever, for it,
I personally like, and use mobiscroll: Link
Edit: Mobiscroll is now paid but there are loads of free frontend mobile frameworks and probably all of them have a datepicker, such as jQuery Mobile-datepicker.

It seems that your currentField is undefined. Did you check the chrome console before running it on AVD ? Pls try to post the element in which you are trying to display the date as well.
For now, I am assuming that you are trying to do what the following code does
$('.nativedatepicker').focus(function(event) {
var currentField = $(this);
var myNewDate = new Date(Date.parse(currentField.val())) || new Date();
// Same handling for iPhone and Android
window.plugins.datePicker.show({
date : myNewDate,
mode : 'date', // date or time or blank for both
allowOldDates : true
}, function(returnDate) {
var newDate = new Date(returnDate);
var newString = newDate.toString();
newString = newString.substring(0,15);
currentField.val(newString);
// This fixes the problem you mention at the bottom of this script with it not working a second/third time around, because it is in focus.
currentField.blur();
});
});
The element is as follows
<input type="text" class="nativedatepicker" readonly value = "Fri Jun 21 2013"/>
Works like a charm !! Hope it helps !!

What I want to happen is simple - I just want a datepicker to display when I click a certain field.
However, the same as Aleks, I don't know what to put in my html, how to use it in html, and what should I put in the html to invoke the datepicker on some input.
The documentation from the plugin is incomplete.
I found a solution from this test project.
Steps are as follows:
Pre-requisite: phonegap/cordova-cli installed
Install Cordova's device plugin: $ cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.device
Install Dirk's datepicker plugin: $ cordova plugin add https://github.com/DURK/cordova-datepicker-plugin
Copy the nativedatepicker.js from the test project and place it on your project's js folder. This file has showDatePicker(), showDateTimePicker() convenience functions.
Add the ff. to index.html code:
Note: The datepicker won't show when you test it in your browser
....
<div class="form-group">
<label>Appointment</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control datepicker" id="appointment">
</div>
....
<script src="js/nativedatepicker.js"></script>
<script src="cordova.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
(function($){
$(document).ready(function () {
$(document).on('click', '.datepicker', function () {
showDatePicker($(this), 'date');
});
$(document).on('click', '.timepicker', function () {
showDatePicker($(this), 'time');
});
$(document).on('click', '.datetimepicker', function () {
if (device.platform === "Android")
showDateTimePicker($(this));
else
showDatePicker($(this), 'datetime');
});
});
})(jQuery);
</script>

This is my working implementation. Input type is text, readonly.
$('.nativedatepicker').focus(function(event) {
var currentField = $(this);
var myNewDate = new Date();
window.plugins.datePicker.show({
date : myNewDate,
mode : 'date',
allowOldDates : true
}, function(returnDate) {
var array = returnDate.split("/");
var day = array[2], month = array[1];
if (day <= 9)
day = "0" + day;
if (month <= 9)
month = "0" + month;
currentField.val(array[0] + "/" + month + "/" + day);
currentField.blur();
});
});

Why would you want to implement a custom date picker if there is an ative one available ?
You can simply use <input type="date"> to create the commonly known iOS date picker.

Check Date greater than 30 days from today's date

I am using jQuery datepicker and tried to find out difference between todays date and selected date , but getting issues... rather than issues... I was not able to find it perfectly...
I tried to do this on 'onSelect event of datepicker '
Question:
How to check whether selected Date using jQuery Datepicjer is greater than 30 days from todays date ?
Any help will be appreciated....!!
note: dont want to use any libraries, I need to solve this by using only jQuery.

Get the timestamp for 30 days from now:
var timestamp = new Date().getTime() + (30 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000)
// day hour min sec msec
Compare that timestamp with the timestamp for the selected date.
if (timestamp > selectedTimestamp) {
// The selected time is less than 30 days from now
}
else if (timestamp < selectedTimestamp) {
// The selected time is more than 30 days from now
}
else {
// -Exact- same timestamps.
}

I have created one sample for you.
