How to set datepicker using webdriverIO?

I have a task where I need to automate the booking.com page, and one of the tasks is to select check-in and check-out dates. How I can do this? I automated , that I can open calendar, but I don't know how to select dates.
Here is my code
Cucumber step
And user selects dates from "2020-06-16" to "2020-06-26"
BookingStep
When('user selects dates from {string} to {string}',()=>{
BookingPage.checkInOut.click();
browser.debug(); });
Booking page
class BookingPage{
get whereAreYouGoingTextBox(){return $('#ss')};
get checkInOut(){return $('div.xp__dates-inner')}; }export default new BookingPage();

Note: My answer is a solution for the ability to set a value in the date field, and only interact with the cancel link on the date picker object.
I battled this for a while and came up with a solution that works for me, I hope it works for you also.
First when I inspect the datepicker object, it generates a random XPATH/CSS Selector. As a result if you inspect & copy the selector and try to use it in your next test, it will fail since the xpath/selector is randomly generated. I got around this issue by identifying a unique css ID that lived above the datepicker element, and used that as my starting point. Then I looked at the html path from that point to the datepicker input tag, and I appended that path. This solved the first problem of not being able to set a value in the date picker text field. Here is an example using xpath:
//*[#id="filtersSideBar"] - This is the unique ID found above the datepicker
/div[2]/div/input - This is the path to the date picker from the unique ID
$('//*[#id="filtersSideBar"]/div[2]/div/input').waitForClickable(3000);
$('//*[#id="filtersSideBar"]/div[2]/div/input').setValue('2020-01-01');
Now that you have a date inside the date picker field, you have to close the datepicker object. I had to use Javascript to accomplish this. First open the datepicker object, then inspect the 'Cancel' link element. Copy the CSS Selector ID. Lets say it ends up being #cancelLink
Now you run this code:
browser.execute(() => document.querySelector('#cancelLink').click());
Which will then close the datepicker object so that you can proceed with your testing.
Here is my actual code:
class DataSearchSortAndDateRangePage {
get startDate() { return $('//
[#id="filtersSideBar"]/div[2]/div/div[2]/div[1]/div/input'); }
setStartDate(date) {
this.startDate.waitForClickable( { timeout: browser.config.timeOutValue } );
this.startDate.setValue(date);
browser.execute(() => document.querySelector('body > div.md-datepicker-dialog.md-theme-default > div.md-datepicker-body > div.md-dialog-actions.md-datepicker-body-footer > button > div > div').click());
}
}
export default new DataSearchSortAndDateRangePage();
I hope this helps out =)

Hold input=date value in HTML after submited button in table

I searched a lot but maybe because I am quite new here i couldn't fine a result that's works for my challenge.
Project view
What's is going on:
I have made page where users could click on a date-picker, after the user selected a date or a date range and they click on the submit button "Verzenden"the table that is positioned under the selection area shows all data from that specific date or date range that is available in the database.
In this table the user is able to adjust some data from a specific table row.
After clicking on the submit "Ok" button the changes the user made is pushed to the database.
Now my challenge:
After the user has changed some data from a row an they click on submit button "Ok" i want to achieve that the user is getting back to it's last date selection that he made before adjusting some data in a row table. What is the best way to handle this ?? I hope someone could help me, thanks already for participating and reading.

The term you're looking for is "pre-populating a form". You can pre-populate the form with PHP by generating HTML that has the value written directly in the HTML
<input type="text" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($someValue, UTF8, ENT_BOTH);?>">
Your homework probably wants you to save the input into the user's SESSION, and then check the SESSION every time you render the page. If a previous value is in the session, then pre-populate the form (i.e. render the HTML with the hard-coded values).

Try this:
<form autocomplete="on">...</form>
the "autocomplete" attribute allows you to save your selection that you've submit after reload the site.
If you don't want this feature take effect for some special tag,you should write your code like this:
<form autocomplete="on">
...
<input type="date" autocomplete="off" /> // this tag won't save the choice
</form>

check this fiddle : https://jsfiddle.net/9nfz311z/
html part:
<input type="date" name="test"/>
js part :
var dateInput = document.querySelector('input[name="test"]');
var DOMReady = function(a,b,c){b=document,c='addEventListener';b[c]?b[c]('DOMContentLoaded',a):window.attachEvent('onload',a)}
// on change save in localStorage the value
dateInput.addEventListener('change', function(e) {
localStorage.setItem(dateInput.name, dateInput.value);
});
// on dom ready if localStorage has date value apply it to the input
DOMReady(setDateValue);
function setDateValue() {
var date = localStorage.getItem(dateInput.name);
if (date) {
dateInput.value = date;
}
}

control a href link in wordpress to check the date and do one of two things

I am looking to control a link(href) using wordpress so that when it is pressed the site will do one of two things. 1- show a pop up window with a video embedded OR 2-check the date and if the link corresponds to a date in the future i.e. you click on the the 22nd and its the 21st (advent callender) the show a pop up image "you must wait until 22nd" else if the date has arrived then show the pop up video (option 1).
I program in java and have limited js

try this :
<div id="redemption">
Redeem
Redeem
Redeem
</div>
You can do like jfriend00 mentioned above:
$("#redemption a").click(function() {
var id = this.id;
// Assign the id to a custom attribute called data-id
$("#printing_div").attr("data-id", id);
return false;
});
And then of course you can retrieve the new attribute in any AJAX call you
send back to the server by:
var id = $("#printing_div").attr("data-id");
Hope that helps.

Rails javascript; alert to fire when leaving a field

My ultimate goal is to add some validation to a set of date fields. However, my javascript sucks, so I'm starting small.
I am starting out by trying to get an alert message when a user leaves a field.
(For simplicity I'm just doing it all in my view...) Heres what I go to work...
# html.erb-template
<div class="from_date">
From Date
<input type="text" id="from_date" name="from_date"></input>
</div>
<script>
$("#from_date").blur( function() {
alert("boom!");
});
</script>

Your code seems to be fine - problem is that class and id are named the same, but you want to watch the input field not the surrounding div.
I just made a fiddle from your script and changed
the listener to be attached to the input field's id - and it's working.
the alert into a console.log
see
$("#from_date").blur(function() {.....
// instead of
$(".from_date").blur(function() {.....

asp.net AjaxControlToolkit CalendarExtender: setting displayed month programmatically from client side

Is there a way to set the calendar extender, or a method I can call so it always displays the month containing the selected date when the target textbox is clicked? I have found the method to set the selected date, but this does not automatically bring the month of the selected date into view.

You can handle the onClientShown event:
<cc1:calendarextender ID="Calendarextender1"
OnClientShown="clientShown" ...
For example:
<script type="text/javascript">
function clientShown(sender, args) {
var extender= $find('Calendarextender1');
sender.set_visibleDate(extender._selectedDate);
// the following is just to show you some other interesting methods
//sender.set_todaysDate(extender._selectedDate);
//sender.set_selectedDate(extender._selectedDate);
}
</script>
I'm afraid there's no documentation, so try them out.
