Angular DateRangePicker

The following section explains the steps required to create a simple Angular DateRangePicker component in the Bootstrap theme.

Pre-requisites

Make sure that you have the compatible versions of Angular on your machine before starting to work on this project.

• Node.js (latest version)
• Angular
• Angular CLI
• TypeScript 2.6+
• Visual studio code for editor

Introduction

The Angular DateRangePicker used in this project is created from the Syncfusion ej2-angular-calendars package. You can simply define it as <ejs-daterangepicker> within the template.

Dependencies

Before starting this project, the Angular DateRangePicker requires to adding Syncfusion ej2-angular-calendars package from the npmjs, which is distributed in npm as @syncfusion scoped packages.

Creating Angular Project

To create the Angular project using the Angular CLI tool, follow the steps given below.

Install Angular CLI using the following command.

npm install -g @angular/cli
  

Now, create a new Angular project by using the command ng new and navigate to that folder.

ng new <project name>
cd <project name> 

Install the ej2-angular-calendars package using the npm install command.

npm install @syncfusion/ej2-angular-calendars --save

Adding Angular DateRangePicker

You can add the Angular DateRangePicker component by using the ejs-daterangepicker directive and the attributes within the tag, which allows you to define other functionalities.

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

 

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { DateRangePickerModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-calendars';
import { AppCompnent } from './app.component';
 
@NgModule({
    imports: [ BrowserModule,  DateRangePickerModule ],
    declarations: [ AppComponent ],
    bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
})
 
exports class AppModule {} 

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

Here, the DateRangePicker component is rendered using the startDate and endDate properties.

[app.component.ts]

import {Component} from '@angular/core';
 
@Component ({
    selector: 'app-root',
    templateUrl: './app.component.html'
})
 
export class AppComponent {
    public start: Date = new Date ("10/07/2017"); 
    public end: Date = new Date ("11/25/2017");
    constructor () {}
}

[app.component.html]

<ejs-daterangepicker id='daterangepicker' placeholder='Select a range' [startDate]='start' [endDate]='end'></ejs-daterangepicker> 

Refer to the CDN link of the CSS reference within the index.html file for the bootstrap theme.

[index.html]

<link href="//cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet" />
 

Run the application with the ng serve command, then the DateRangePicker will be displayed with the start and end dates on the browser as shown below.
