Adding Angular 11 Calendar with Min and Max:

You can add the Angular 11 Calendar component by using ejs-calendar directive and the attributes within the tag allows you to define other functionalities.

Import the Calendar module into the Angular application (app.module.ts) from the ej2-angular-calendars package.

import {BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';

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

import { CalendarModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-calendars';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

 

@NgModule({ 

    imports: [ BrowserModule, CalendarModule ],

    declarations: [ AppComponent ],

    bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]

})

 

export class AppModule {}

Define the Angular Calendar code within the app.component.html file mapped against the templateUrl option in app.component.ts file.

Here, the Calendar component rendered with the min and max property

[app.component.ts]

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

 

@Component ({

    selector: 'app-root',

    templateUrl: './app.component.html'

})

 

export class AppComponent {

    public minDate: Date = new Date ("05/07/2017");

    public maxDate: Date = new Date ("08/27/2017");

    public value: Date = new Date ("05/16/2017");

    constructor () {}

}

[app.component.html]

<ejs-calendar id=calendar [value]='value' [min]='minDate' [max]='maxDate'></ejs-calendar>

    templateUrl: './app.component.html'

})

 

export class AppComponent {

    public value: Date [] = [new Date ("05/16/2017"), new Date ("05/12/2017"), new Date ("05/6/2017"), new Date ("05/26/2017"), new Date ("05/20/2017")]  

    public multiselect: Boolean = true;

    constructor () {}

}

[app.component.html]

<ejs-calendar id=calendar [values]='value' [isMultiSelection]='multiselect' ></ejs-calendar>

Run the ng serve command and have a Calendar with multiple values will be displayed on the browser as shown below.
