editable

Description​

Optional. Defines whether a date picker is editable or sets a custom format for editing a date

Usage​

editable?: boolean | ((value: string) => Date | null);

Parameters​

  • true - the date picker input field becomes editable, allowing users to type a date directly

  • false - (default) the date picker input is read-only; a date can only be selected from the calendar

  • function (value: string) => Date | null - a custom parser function that takes the typed string (value) and returns either:

    • a Date object - if the string matches your format and can be converted into a valid date;
    • null - if parsing fails (the input is invalid).

Example​

<Field label="Editable (new Date())">
  {(id) => (
    <DatePicker editable={true} id={id} />
  )}
</Field>

Details​

It is possible to set a date picker to the editable state by declaring the property with no value:

<DatePicker editable />

You can also specify a function as a value of the editable property to use a custom format for editing a date in DatePicker. Check the example below:

function parseDate(string) {
  const p = string.match(/(..)(..)(.+)/);
  return p ? new Date(p.slice(1, 4).join("/")) : null;
}

<Field label="Editable custom format (MMDDYYYY)">
  {(id) => (
    <DatePicker editable={parseDate} id={id} format="%m%d%Y" />
  )}
</Field>
