const date = ref();
</script>
<template>
    <VueDatePicker v-model="date" range :partial-range="false" />
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue';

const date = ref();
</script>

preset-dates

When configured, it will provide a sidebar with configured range/date that user can select

Info

  • range prop must be enabled to use range values
  • If the timezone prop is provided, values from preset dates will be converted to the provided timezone. If you don't want that, pass noTz: true to all presets
  • Type: PresetDate[]
  • Default: []
ts
interface PresetDate {
  label: string;
  value: Date[] | string[] | Date | string;
  style?: Record<string, string>;

multi-calendars-configuration

multi-calendars prop can be extended with the configuration object, instead of passing a boolean or number values, you can provide an object. When the object is provided, prop will be auto enabled.

  • Type:
ts
interface MultiCalendarsOptions {
    solo?: boolean;
    static?: boolean;
    count?: string | number;
}
interface MultiCalendarsOptions {
    solo?: boolean;
    static?: boolean;
    count?: string | number;
}
  • Default: { solo: false, static: true, count: 2 }

solo

When enabled, both calendars will be independent of each other

Code Example
vue
<template>
    <VueDatePicker v-model="date" range :multi-calendars="{ solo: true }" />
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref, onMounted } from 'vue';

const date = ref();

onMounted(() => {
  const startDate = new Date();
  const endDate = new Date(new Date().setDate(startDate.getDate() + 7));
  date.value = [startDate, endDate];
})
</script>
<template>
    <VueDatePicker v-model="date" range :multi-calendars="{ solo: true }" />
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref, onMounted } from 'vue';

const date = ref();

onMounted(() => {
  const startDate = new Date();
  const endDate = new Date(new Date().setDate(startDate.getDate() + 7));
  date.value = [startDate, endDate];
})
</script>

static

The default calendar view when using multi-calendars is to keep it on the month selected by the user. When this prop is disabled, it will auto-update the first calendar when the range starts and adjust the rest of them based on the first month

Code Example
vue
<template>
    <VueDatePicker v-model="date" range :multi-calendars="{ static: false }" />
</template>

import { ref, onMounted } from 'vue';

const date = ref();

onMounted(() => {
  const startDate = new Date();
  const endDate = new Date(new Date().setDate(startDate.getDate() + 7));
  date.value = [startDate, endDate];
})
</script>
<template>
    <VueDatePicker v-model="date" range :multi-calendars="{ static: false }" />
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref, onMounted } from 'vue';

const date = ref();

onMounted(() => {
  const startDate = new Date();
  const endDate = new Date(new Date().setDate(startDate.getDate() + 7));
  date.value = [startDate, endDate];
})
</script>

text-input-configuration

Configuration for text-input prop. When the configuration object is provided, text-input is auto enabled

  • Type:
ts
interface TextInputOptions {
    enterSubmit?: boolean;
    tabSubmit?: boolean;
    openMenu?: boolean;
    rangeSeparator?: string;
    format?: string | string[] | ((value: string) => Date | null);
}
interface TextInputOptions {
    enterSubmit?: boolean;
    tabSubmit?: boolean;
    openMenu?: boolean;
    rangeSeparator?: string;
    format?: string | string[] | ((value: string) => Date | null);
}
  • Default: { enterSubmit: true, tabSubmit: true, openMenu: true, rangeSeparator: '-' }

Properties explanation:

  • enterSubmit: When enabled, pressing enter will select a date if the input value is a valid date object
  • tabSubmit: When enabled, pressing tab will select a date if the input value is a valid date object
  • openMenu: When enabled, opens the menu when clicking on the input field
  • format: Override the default parsing format. Default is the string value from format. You can also pass multiple parser patterns or a custom parser function and parse the input yourself. When the input is focused, the date will be shown in this format.
  • rangeSeparator: If you use range mode, the default separator is -, you can change it here
Code Example
vue
<template>
    <VueDatePicker 
      v-model="date"
      placeholder="Start Typing ..."
      :text-input="textInputOptions" />
