Set a datepicker maxDate from another datepicker

In my app I have a form with 3 datepicker objects; from, to, and apply_to. I tried in JavaScript to set the control input to and apply_to
$("#from").datepicker({
dateFormat: 'dd.mm.yy',
onSelect: function(selected) {
$("#to").datepicker("option","minDate", selected);
$("#apply_to").datepicker("option","maxDate", selected)
}
});
But I need to set maxDate in apply_to to the selected date minus one.
$("#apply_to").datepicker("option","maxDate", selected-1d)
But my code is not working.

In your onSelect, the selected parameter is a string so you must first convert it to a javascript date object, then subtract one day using setDate / getDate, and finally update the corresponding datepicker maxDate option
onSelect: (selected) => {
var pieces = selected.split('.');
var dt = new Date(pieces[2], parseInt(pieces[1])-1, pieces[0]);
dt.setDate(dt.getDate() - 1);
$("#to" ).datepicker( "option", "maxDate", dt);
}

Set picked date to another datepicker with Materialize

I'm using Materialize to create an app with two datepickers:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#outDate').datepicker({
format: 'dd-mm-yyyy'
});
});
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#returnDate').datepicker({
format: 'dd-mm-yyyy',
});
});
What i need to do is pass the selected date from datepicker 1 ('#outDate') and set into datepicker 2 ('#returnDate'). How can i do that. I've read the doc of Materialize, but i'm not getting any success.
Someone can help me, please?
Also i'm using Javascript and AngulrJs.
Thanx in advance.

you can do like this
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#outDate').datepicker({
format: 'dd-mm-yyyy',
onSelect: function(date) {
var date = $("#outDate").datepicker('getDate').getDate(); // get selected date of #outDate
$('#returnDate').datepicker('defaultDate ', new Date(date)); // set #outDate date to #returnDate
}
});
});
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#returnDate').datepicker({
format: 'dd-mm-yyyy',
});
});

Set minDate to a dynamical date in jQuery datapicker

The minimum date setting (minDate) in a jQuery-UI datepicker should be set to the birthdate (birthdateDMY in my code). I was thinking of using an anonymous function inside .datepicker({}) but I do not know how to make it work.
//birthdateDMY will be something like [ "01", "07", "2015" ]
var name = jQuery("#dropdown").val();
var index = baby.Name.indexOf(name);
var birthdateDMY = baby.BirthDate[index].split("/");
jQuery(function() {
jQuery("#datepicker").datepicker({
//need an anonymous function here to set minDate?
minDate: (new Date(birthdateDMY[2], birthdateDMY[1] - 1,
birthdateDMY[0])),
maxDate: 0,
dateFormat: "dd/mm/yy"
});
SOLVED USING A SETTER:
//Setter: update minDate for e.g. #datepicker
function updateMinDate(selector){
//birthdateDMY will be something like [ "01", "07", "2015" ]
var name = jQuery("#dropdown").val();
var index = baby.Name.indexOf(name);
var birthdateDMY = baby.BirthDate[index].split("/");
//Update minDate in the selected item
$(selector).datepicker("option", "minDate", new Date(birthdateDMY[2], birthdateDMY[1] - 1, birthdateDMY[0]) );
}
//When changin #dropdown, call updateMinDate
jQuery(document).on('change', '#dropdown', function(e) {
updateMinDate("#datepicker");
}
jQuery(function() {
jQuery("#datepicker").datepicker({
minDate: <some code run when page loads>,
maxDate: 0, numberOfMonths: 2, dateFormat: "dd/mm/yy"
});
});

You need to reinitialize your datepicker whenever your drop down changes. Right now when your page loads it sets up the datepicker and then it never changes it.
So, an event like this should help:
$("#dropdown").change(function(){
//reinitialize date-picker here
});
You might have to play around with it a little but I think this will solve your problem.

How to get the selected date from jquery datepicker

I am using jquery datepicker to show a calendar.Now as per my requirement i want to get the date selected by the user in my jquery variable which i will use in my application but i am not able to get the date ..
Here is the code for datepciker
<div id="datepicker"></div>
and here i am trying to get the selected code..
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#datepicker").datepicker({
onSelect: function (dateText, inst) {
var date = $(this).val();
alert(date);
}
});
});
But, I am not able to get the date ..Please help me ..Thanks..

This should do the trick
$(function() {
$("#datepicker").datepicker();
$("#datepicker").on("change",function(){
var selected = $(this).val();
alert(selected);
});
});
It's basic but here is a jsfiddle with it alerting the selected date when selected
update to change the date format
$(function() {
$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker({ dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd" });
$("#datepicker").on("change",function(){
var selected = $(this).val();
alert(selected);
});
});
jsfiddle
3rd update
$(function() {
$("#datepicker").datepicker({
dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd",
onSelect: function(){
var selected = $(this).val();
alert(selected);
}
});
});
I have used a little more of the native markup for datepicker ui here try this and see if you get the alert as you are after.
4th Update
$(function() {
$("#datepicker").datepicker({
dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd",
onSelect: function(){
var selected = $(this).datepicker("getDate");
alert(selected);
}
});
});
The 4th method uses $(this).datepicker("getDate") instead of $(this).val() as $(this).datepicker("getDate") returns a date object and $(this).val() returns the date as a string.
Depending on your needs select which one is appropriate.
(Added 4th method and explanation of the difference after #TimothyC.Quinn commented that the getDate being the correct method)

Though, question is answered, for people who just want a date object or set a date with specific format. There is simple functions jQuery provides. Here's working jsfiddle
$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker({ dateFormat: "dd-mm-yy" });
$("#datepicker").datepicker('setDate', '10-03-2020');
// pass string of your format or Date() object
$("#datepicker").datepicker('getDate');
// returns Date() object
$("#another_datepicker").datepicker('setDate', $("#datepicker").datepicker('getDate'));
// pass string of your format or Date() object

Try
$("#datepicker").datepicker({
onSelect:function(selectedDate)
{
alert(selectedDate);
}
});
OR
$("#datepicker").datepicker({
onSelect:function (dateText, inst)
{
alert(inst);
}
});

try this
$('.selector').datepicker({
onSelect: function(dateText, inst) { ... }
})
you have two elements with the class .datepicker, the selector won't know which element to choose from. So, you'll have to specify the name of the input you're trying to get the date from
first = $(".datepicker[name=datepicker1]").datepicker('getDate');
second = $(".datepicker[name=datepicker2]").datepicker('getDate');

You can use the changeDate event outlined here instead of onSelect and then reference e.date or e.dates. See the JSON below.
HTML:
<div id='QA'></div>
<div id='datepicker'></div>
JS:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$('#datepicker').datepicker({
clearBtn: true,
todayHighlight: false,
multidate: true
}) .on('changeDate', function(e){
$('#QA').html(JSON.stringify(e));
});
});
/*
{
"type":"changeDate",
"date":"2015-08-08T07:00:00.000Z",
"dates":[
"2015-08-08T07:00:00.000Z"
],
"timeStamp":1438803681861,
"jQuery21409071635671425611":true,
"isTrigger":3,
"namespace":"",
"namespace_re":null,
"target":{
},
"delegateTarget":{
},
"currentTarget":{
},
"handleObj":{
"type":"changeDate",
"origType":"changeDate",
"guid":52,
"namespace":""
}
}
*/
</script>

The ideal way is to get the date and convert it to a common format and utilize the same. (may passing to server or so.)
$("#datepicker").datepicker('getDate').toISOString()
so it will get the date in ISO stander.

All code is for Bootstrap Datepicker
var calendar = $('#calendar').datepicker("getDate"); // Ex: Tue Jun 29 2021 00:00:00 GMT+0600 (Bangladesh Standard Time)
or
var calendar = $('#calendar').data('datepicker').getFormattedDate('yyyy-mm-dd'); // Ex: 2021-06-30
if(calendar){
alert(calendar);
} else {
alert('null');
}

If you need it in specific format like '2021/09/28':
$.datepicker.formatDate('yy/mm/dd',
$('.date-picker-2').datepicker("getDate")
);

Here is how to get Date object from datepicker in the onSelect event:
$("#datepickerid").datepicker({
onSelect: function (dateText, inst) {
var date_obj = $(this).datepicker('getDate');
}
});
I find it strange that the onSelect caller would not return the date object by default.

Working with date picker in jquery, display today

I want the datepicker to select the currentdate/today and display it instead of'dd----yyyy'and moreover i wanted the date before today to be disabled from selection, please help!
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#button_id").click(function () {
$('<div/>', {
id: "div_id"
}).append($('<input>', {
type: "date",
name: "someDate",
class: "date_id"
})).appendTo("#static_div");

//i want the datepicker to select the currentdate/today and display it instead of'dd----yyyy'and moreover i wanted the date before today to be disabled from selection
});

Here's the link to my fiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/L4reds/73pEN/1/

$(document).ready(function () {
$("#button_id").click(function () {
var div = $('<div/>', {id: "div_id"}),
inp = $('<input>', {type: "text",name: "someDate",id: "date_id"});
div.append(inp).appendTo("#static_div");
inp.datepicker({
minDate: 0
}).datepicker('setDate', new Date());
});
});
FIDDLE

Use minDate and maxDate options to hide the previouse date see this
$(function() {
$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker({ minDate: -20, maxDate: "+1M +10D" });
});
Format option set using this option

To disable dates before the current day:
$("#date_id").datepicker({
minDate: 0
});
Read the documentation: http://api.jqueryui.com/datepicker/#option-minDate
