Date Picker

The Date Picker component can be used for selecting dates without time input. It offers customizable formats, validation, and styling.

Properties

Property	Description	Expected Value
Label	Text to display as the label for the field.	String (e.g., Date of Birth).
Date Format	Select the date format from the dropdown. Default date format is DD/MM/YYYY.	Select from dropdown (e.g. MM/DD/YYYY).
Default value	The default value that the component will hold when the app is loaded.	String (e.g., 01/01/2022).

caution

Click the fx button next to Date Format to enter a custom format string. ToolJet uses Moment.js to parse and format dates, so the format string must use Moment.js tokens, and these tokens are case-sensitive — for example, D is the day of the month (1–31), while lowercase d is the day of the week (0–6, Sunday to Saturday). Also note that YYYY gives a 4-digit year, but lowercase yyyy isn't a valid Moment.js token and gets rendered as literal text. Use a format like MMM D, YYYY (e.g., Jan 5, 2024), not MMM d, yyyy.

Events

Event	Description
On select	Triggers whenever the user selects a date.
On focus	Triggers whenever the user clicks inside the input field.
On blur	Triggers whenever the user clicks outside the input field.
