Topic: Horrible performance of mdb-date-picker when using default options

AgentEnder free asked 4 years ago


Expected behavior Datepicker opens quickly

Actual behavior Takes ages when using the default options provider, using code straight from documentation

enter image description here

App.Module.ts

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { MDBBootstrapModulesPro, MDB_DATE_OPTIONS } from 'ng-uikit-pro-standard';
import { MDBSpinningPreloader } from 'ng-uikit-pro-standard';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';

@NgModule({
    declarations: [
        AppComponent
    ],
    imports: [
        BrowserModule,
        FormsModule,
        MDBBootstrapModulesPro.forRoot(),
    ],
   providers: [MDBSpinningPreloader,
    {
      provide: MDB_DATE_OPTIONS, 
      useValue: {
          // Year limits
          minYear: 2019,
          maxYear: 9999,

          // Show Today button
          showTodayBtn: true,

          // Show Clear date button
          showClearDateBtn: true,

          markCurrentDay: true,
          markWeekends: undefined,
          disableHeaderButtons: false,
          showWeekNumbers: false,
          height: '100px',
          width: '50%',
          selectionTxtFontSize: '15px'
      }
  },],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

App.Component.Html

        <mdb-date-picker name="startDatepicker" [inline]="true" [selDate]="todaysDate.toISOString()" [ngModel]="date1"
      (ngModelChange)="date1 = $event;" [options]="{}" [placeholder]="'Start Date'"

        <mdb-date-picker [(ngModel)]="date2"></mdb-date-picker>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

App.Component.ts

  import { Component } from '@angular/core';

  @Component({
      selector: 'app-root',
      templateUrl: './app.component.html',
      styleUrls: ['./app.component.scss']
  })
  export class AppComponent {
    title = 'MDBDatePickerInconsistencies';
    todaysDate = new Date()
    date1;
    date2;
  }

Please reduce the 'maxYear' value in the options. Currently we use native select to display the year list and this is probably the cause, because it take some times to render all the options. We have plans to update the datepicker design so it won't be a problem in the future.

That makes sense. Might want to lower it in the docs as well, as that is used in the 'Using options' section of the datepicker documentation.

Do you have the timeline for the datepicker design changes? Something more similar to this https://material.angular.io/components/datepicker/overview would be better imho.

There is no ETA yet for the new datepicker version. We will update the documentation.
