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',
});
});

Disable past dates and enable only certain future dates in datepicker

I am attempting to use the jQuery datepicker, but wish to disable all past days and allow only future Thursdays. I can get it to allow Thursdays, but the minDate functionality I add doesn't work with it. This is my code:
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery('#input_40_4').datepicker({
beforeShowDay: function(date) { return [date.getDay() == 4, ""];}
});
});
$(function () {
$("#input_40_4'").datepicker({ minDate: 0 });
});
</script>
Can someone explain why these don't work together?

You can add more options to the datepicker by separating them by commas.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#input_40_4').datepicker({
beforeShowDay: function(date) { return [date.getDay() == 4, ""];},
minDate : 0
// you can add more options here as well, just seperate them by commas
});
});
The reason why they didn't work in your question was because you would overwrite the options from the datepicker created in the function on line 10 with the options from the datepicker in the documentReady section.
You were basically saying create a new datepicker with mindate:0, never mind create a new one with only Tuesdays.

What is happening is you are overwriting the effects of the first datepicker call with the second one.
Put both of the options in one options object
$("#input_40_4'").datepicker({
beforeShowDay: function(date) { return [date.getDay() == 4, ""];},
minDate: 0
});
Demo
$("#datepicker").datepicker({
beforeShowDay: function(date) { return [date.getDay() == 4, ""];},
minDate: 0
});

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");
$(".date_id").datepicker({
//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

How to get the year from datepicker ui?

I have code which the user choose date .
I need to to get the value year and put it in div.
How can I do that?
jsFissl Demo
many Thx.
the code:
<div class="demo">
<p>Date: <input type="text" id="datepicker"></p>
</div>
<div id="Year"></div>
$("#datepicker").datepicker({
changeMonth: true,
changeYear: true
});
$("#Year").text($("#datepicker").val());
I try to use .substring(0, 4)but I don't kno how.

You can convert that input value into a Javascript Date as well and have everything from it's method.
http://jsbin.com/ugaxob/2/edit
$(".btn-getdate").click(function() {
var dt = $("#datepicker").val(),
d = new Date(dt);
$("#Year").text(d.getFullYear());
});
or go wild and use MomentJs plugin and you will get so much fun (live example updated)
When you want to perform something on a plugin, that is called act upon an event, and you should see the Events tab in the DatePicker, where you can find onSelect.
My live example was changed to act upon selection and no need to press any link or button.

This shows the year you wanted to extract.
HTML:
<meta charset="utf-8">
<div class="demo">
<p>Date: <input type="text" id="datepicker"></p>
<button>Show year</button>
</div><!-- End demo -->
JS:
$(function() {
$("#datepicker").datepicker({
changeMonth: true,
changeYear: true
});
$("button").click(function() {
var split = $("#datepicker").val().split('/');
alert(split[2]);
});
});​
The split method of String class divides the string and returns as an array.
EDIT: This does everything you wanted.
Take a look at the onSelect event.
$(function() {
$("#datepicker").datepicker({
changeMonth: true,
changeYear: true,
onSelect: function(dateText) {
var split = $("#datepicker").val().split('/');
$("#Year").text(split[2]);
}
});
});​

How about this : JSFiddle
No need to do string manipulation, just create Date object using selected date from datepicker and use getFullYear() method to get selected year...
$(function() {
$("#datepicker").datepicker({
onSelect: function(date) {
var d = new Date(date);
alert(d.getFullYear());
},
changeMonth: true,
changeYear: true
});
});
