Date Picker is an input field that allows the user to enter a date by typing or by selecting from a calendar overlay.

DatePicker allows setting and getting LocalDate objects, setting minimum and maximum date ranges and has internationalization support by using the DatePicker.DatePickerI18n object.

This component allows the date to be entered directly using the keyboard in the format of the current locale or through the date picker overlay. The overlay opens when the field is clicked and/or any input is entered when the field is focused.

      onAttach in class Component
      Parameters:
      attachEvent - the attach event

    • getI18n

      public DatePicker.DatePickerI18n getI18n()

    • getDefaultValidator

      public Validator<LocalDate> getDefaultValidator()
      Description copied from interface: HasValidator
      Returns a validator that checks the state of the Value. This should be overridden for components with internal value conversion or validation, e.g. when the user is providing a string that has to be parsed into a date. An invalid input from user will be exposed to a Binder and can be seen as a validation failure.
      Specified by:
      getDefaultValidator in interface HasValidator<LocalDate>
      Returns:
      state validator

    • addValidationStatusChangeListener

      public Registration addValidationStatusChangeListener(ValidationStatusChangeListener<LocalDate> listener)
      Description copied from interface: HasValidator
      Enables the implementing components to notify changes in their validation status to the observers.

      Note: This method can be overridden by the implementing classes e.g. components, to enable the associated Binder.Binding instance subscribing for their validation change events and revalidate itself.

      This method primarily designed for notifying the Binding about the validation status changes of a bound component at the client-side. WebComponents such as <vaadin-date-picker> or any other component that accept a formatted text as input should be able to communicate their invalid status to their server-side instance, and a bound server-side component instance must notify its binding about this validation status change as well. When the binding instance revalidates, a chain of validators and convertors get executed one of which is the default validator provided by HasValidator.getDefaultValidator(). Thus, In order for the binding to be able to show/clear errors for its associated bound field, it is important that implementing components take that validation status into account while implementing any validator and converter including HasValidator.getDefaultValidator(). Here is an example: 

       @Tag("date-picker-demo")
 public class DatePickerDemo implements HasValidator<LocalDate> {

     // Each web component has a way to communicate its validation status
     // to its server-side component instance. The following clientSideValid
     // state is introduced here just for the sake of simplicity of this code
     // snippet:
     boolean clientSideValid = true;

     /**
      * Note how clientSideValid engaged in the definition
      * of this method. It is important to reflect this status either
      * in the returning validation result of this method or any other
      * validation that is associated with this component.
      */
     @Override
     public Validator getDefaultValidator() {
          return (value, valueContext) -> clientSideValid ? ValidationResult.ok()
                 : ValidationResult.error("Invalid date format");
     }

     private final Collection<ValidationStatusChangeListener<LocalDate>>
         validationStatusListeners = new ArrayList<>();

     /**
      * This enables the binding to subscribe for the validation status
      * change events that are fired by this component and revalidate
      * itself respectively.
      */
     @Override
     public Registration addValidationStatusChangeListener(
             ValidationStatusChangeListener<LocalDate> listener) {
         validationStatusListeners.add(listener);
         return () -> validationStatusListeners.remove(listener);
     }

     private void fireValidationStatusChangeEvent(
             boolean newValidationStatus) {
         if (this.clientSideValid != newValidationStatus) {
             this.clientSideValid = newValidationStatus;
             var event = new ValidationStatusChangeEvent<>(this,
                     newValidationStatus);
             validationStatusListeners.forEach(
                     listener -> listener.validationStatusChanged(event));
         }
     }
 }

      addValidationStatusChangeListener in interface HasValidator<LocalDate>
      Returns:
      Registration of the added listener.

    • setInitialPosition

      public void setInitialPosition(LocalDate initialPosition)
      Date which should be visible when there is no value selected.

      The same date formats as for the value property are supported.

      Parameters:
      initialPosition - the LocalDate value to set

    • getInitialPosition

      public LocalDate getInitialPosition()
      Get the visible date when there is no value selected.

      The same date formats as for the value property are supported.

      This property is not synchronized automatically from the client side, so the returned value may not be the same as in client side.

      Returns:
      the initialPosition property from the datepicker

    • setRequired

      public void setRequired(boolean required)
      Sets whether the date picker is marked as input required.
      Parameters:
      required - the boolean value to set

    • setRequiredIndicatorVisible

      public void setRequiredIndicatorVisible(boolean required)
      Description copied from interface: HasValue
      Sets the required indicator visible or not.

      If set visible, it is visually indicated in the user interface.

      The method is intended to be used with Binder which does server-side validation. In case HTML element has its own (client-side) validation it should be disabled when setRequiredIndicatorVisible(true) is called and re-enabled back on setRequiredIndicatorVisible(false). It's responsibility of each component implementation to follow the contract so that the method call doesn't do anything else than show/hide the "required" indication. Usually components provide their own setRequired method which should be called in case the client-side validation is required.

      Specified by:
      setRequiredIndicatorVisible in interface HasValue<AbstractField.ComponentValueChangeEvent<DatePicker,LocalDate>,LocalDate>
      Specified by:
      setRequiredIndicatorVisible in interface HasValueAndElement<AbstractField.ComponentValueChangeEvent<DatePicker,LocalDate>,LocalDate>
      Parameters:
      required - true to make the required indicator visible, false if not

    • isRequired

      public boolean isRequired()
      Determines whether the datepicker is marked as input required.

      This property is not synchronized automatically from the client side, so the returned value may not be the same as in client side.

      Returns:
      true if the input is required, false otherwise

    • setWeekNumbersVisible

      public void setWeekNumbersVisible(boolean weekNumbersVisible)
