Customizing the input

Overview​

The datepicker, as explained below, can be used with one, two or no inputs.

Using without inputs​

The first choice of input customization is to have no inputs at all. In this case rendering the component in inline display mode will leave out the use of inputs.

Inline picker
<div id="myAppointment"></div>
mobiscroll.datepicker('#myAppointment', {
    display: 'inline'
});

Using with one input​

The datepicker component will render a Mobiscroll Input by default. This input will hold the formatted value after selection.

Having a custom input can be achived using the datepicker directive on the component you want.

Using the datepicker with one input
<input id="myAppointment" class="any-class-you-want" placeholder="Click to select..." />
mobiscroll.datepicker('#myAppointment', {
    theme: 'ios',
});

Using with two inputs​

When selecting a range, you have basically two values to display: the start of the range and the end of the range. These can be shown in different inputs using the startInput and the endInput options.

Two inputs for range selection
<input id="start-input" placeholder="Start date" />
<input id="end-input" placeholder="End date" />
<div id="picker"></div>
mobiscroll.datepicker('#picker', {
    select: 'range',
    startInput: '#start-input',
    endInput: '#end-input'
});
