Topic: need an example of how to use mdb-date-picker in a reactive form with formControlName

itpartner pro asked 6 years ago

I am trying to use mdb-date-picker part of the reactive form in angular. The commented one works (styling wise, validation message wise), but I need a calendar popup like the one by mdb-date-picker. The second is not working properly. I know this is my hacky way, but the question is how do one use these in reactive form with formControlName.

<!--<div class="md-form">
   <i class="fa fa-calendar prefix grey-text"></i>                                                
   <input type="text" id="birthdate" class="form-control" formControlName="birthdate" mdbInputDirective
      data-error="Valid birthdate is required" data-success="&nbsp;">
   <label for="birthdate">Birth date</label>
</div> -->

<div class="md-form">
	<i class="fa fa-calendar prefix grey-text"></i>
	<mdb-date-picker id="birthdate" class="form-control" formControlName="birthdate" mdbInputDirective
		data-error="Valid birthdate is required" data-success="&nbsp;"></mdb-date-picker>
	<label for="birthdate">Birth date</label>
</div>

Dear itpartner, Do you want to just add reactive forms to date picker or implement validation as well? There were some problems with displaying validation messages on date picker and we are currently working on it. Regards, Arek

I definitely need validation. Thank you for quick response.

itpartner pro commented 6 years ago

Also when you try to key in the date after tabbing to the field I get this when I type

01/20

I get

01/20/Nan

My format is MM/DD/YYYY - which is working when I select from a calendar.

itpartner pro commented 6 years ago

The keyboard seems to work when the format is the default like

yyyy-mm-dd

2015-01-01 works but not with mm/dd/yyyy

As I already mentioned, validation from mdbInputDirective doesn't work correctly on date picker component. We are currently working to prepare validation that will work on all form components. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank you for reporting the problem with date typing. We will take a closer look at it.

Hi,

It works as expected. Remove mdbinputdirective, class and add label as input:

<mdb-date-picker formControlName="date" label="Date"[options]="myDatePickerOptions"[locale]="'hu'"></mdb-date-picker>

Bests,

tano

Even without mdbinputdirective the validation message is not showing. Actually even without that the styling is not the same as say:

The selected date overlaps the label. Now the best I could achieve is this:

<div class="md-form">
<i class="fa fa-calendar prefix grey-text"></i>
<mdb-date-picker [options]="birthDateDatePickerOptions"
id="birthdate" formControlName="birthdate"
data-error="Valid birthdate is required" data-success=" "></mdb-date-picker>
<label for="lastname">Birth date</label>
</div>

This tied to the reactive "ts" validation fine. The submit button stays disabled until I select a date, which is great, but there are no visual clues to the user. I think this is because of the lack of mdbinputdirective.

Could you show me how to make these two lastname/birthdate would work exactly the same? Lastname is working great with showing the validation and the likes.
