Inherits

  • allowNullValue
    Inherited

    Type:
    bool
    Default:
    false

    Gets/Sets whether the editor value can become null.
    If that option is false, and editor has no value, then value is set to an empty string.

    Code Sample

     
    				//Initialize
    				$(".selector").igDateEditor({
    					allowNullValue : false
    				});
    
    				//Get
    				var allowNullValue = $(".selector").igDateEditor("option", "allowNullValue");
    
    				//Set
    				$(".selector").igDateEditor("option", "allowNullValue", false);
    				 
  • buttonType

    Type:
    enumeration
    Default:
    none

    Gets visibility of the spin and clear buttons. That option can be set only on initialization. Combinations like 'spin,clear' are supported too.

    Members

    • clear
    • Type:string
    • A button to clear the value is located on the right side of the editor.
    • spin
    • Type:string
    • Spin buttons are located on the right side of the editor.

    Code Sample

     
    					//Initialize
    					$(".selector").igDateEditor({

  • centuryThreshold

    Type:
    number
    Default:
    29

    Gets/Sets year for auto detection of 20th and 21st centuries.
    That option is used to automatically fill century when the user entered only 1 or 2 digits into the year field or when the date pattern contains only 1 or 2 year positions, e.g. "yy" or "y".
    If user entered value larger than value of this option, then 20th century is used, otherwise the 21st.

    Code Sample

     
    					//Initialize
    					$(".selector").igDateEditor({
    						centuryThreshold: 35
    					});

    For example 10:00 AM from a client with local offset of 5 hours ahead of GMT will be serialized as:
    "2016-11-11T10:00:00+05:00".

    Members

    • date

    • displayModeText
    • Type:string
    • The "text" in display mode (no focus) format (pattern) is used to be send to the server and is returned from the value() method (returns a string object).
    • editModeText
    • Type:string
    • The "text" in edit mode (focus) format (pattern) is used to be send to the server and is returned from the value() method (returns a string object).

    Code Sample

    				$(".selector").igDateEditor({
    					dataMode: "editModeText"
    				});
