How to usemultiple Angular UI Bootstrap Datepicker in single form?
I have a form where there is a need for me to have 2 or more date fields for different things. I tried the Angular UI Bootstrap which works fine when I have only 1 date field in the form. But it stops working if I have multiple date fields and I dont know the easier method to get this to work.
This is my HTML sample:
<label>First Date</label>
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" datepicker-popup="{{format}}" name="dt" ng-model="formData.dt" is-open="opened" datepicker-options="dateOptions" ng-required="true" close-text="Close" />
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button class="btn btn-default" ng-click="open($event)"><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-calendar"></i></button>
</span>
</div>
<label>Second Date</label>
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" datepicker-popup="{{format}}" name="dtSecond" ng-model="formData.dtSecond" is-open="opened" datepicker-options="dateOptions" ng-required="true" close-text="Close" />
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button class="btn btn-default" ng-click="open($event)"><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-calendar"></i></button>
</span>
</div>
My JS is:
myApp.controller('DatePickrCntrl', function ($scope) {
$scope.today = function() {
$scope.formData.dt = new Date();
};
$scope.today();
$scope.showWeeks = true;
$scope.toggleWeeks = function () {
$scope.showWeeks = ! $scope.showWeeks;
};
$scope.clear = function () {
$scope.dt = null;
};
// Disable weekend selection
$scope.disabled = function(date, mode) {
return ( mode === 'day' && ( date.getDay() === 0 || date.getDay() === 6 ) );
};
$scope.toggleMin = function() {
$scope.minDate = ( $scope.minDate ) ? null : new Date();
};
$scope.toggleMin();
$scope.open = function($event) {
$event.preventDefault();
$event.stopPropagation();
$scope.opened = true;
};
$scope.dateOptions = {
'year-format': "'yy'",
'starting-day': 1
};
$scope.formats = ['dd-MMMM-yyyy', 'yyyy/MM/dd', 'shortDate'];
$scope.format = $scope.formats[0];
});
I implemented based on the sample here. The problem I have here is:
1) When one of the date field is clicked, the pop-up datepicker is messed up and seems to show 2 datepicker in 1.
2) When I remove is-open="opened" attribute, the pop-up window seems to work fine. But without is-open="opened", the ng-click="open($event) for the button doesnt work.
3) Since each of the date fields have different ng-models, I am unable to set default dates for any date fields except for the first one with ng-model="formData.dt"
The only long way to resolve this that I can think of is to separate the controller for each date field.
I would like to know how others implement multiple date fields in 1 form itself when using Angular UI Bootstrap.

I have 30 in one form one controller no problem. use the same concept if you need it on ng-repeat.
<label>First Date</label>
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" datepicker-popup="{{format}}"
name="dt" ng-model="formData.dt" is-open="datepickers.dt"
datepicker-options="dateOptions" ng-required="true"
close-text="Close" />
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button class="btn btn-default" ng-click="open($event,'dt')">
<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-calendar"></i></button>
</span>
</div>
<label>Second Date</label>
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" datepicker-popup="{{format}}"
name="dtSecond" ng-model="formData.dtSecond"
is-open="datepickers.dtSecond" datepicker-options="dateOptions"
ng-required="true" close-text="Close" />
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button class="btn btn-default" ng-click="open($event,'dtSecond')">
<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-calendar"></i></button>
</span>
</div>
myApp.controller('DatePickrCntrl', function ($scope) {
$scope.datepickers = {
dt: false,
dtSecond: false
}
$scope.today = function() {
$scope.formData.dt = new Date();
// ***** Q1 *****
$scope.formData.dtSecond = new Date();
};
$scope.today();
$scope.showWeeks = true;
$scope.toggleWeeks = function () {
$scope.showWeeks = ! $scope.showWeeks;
};
$scope.clear = function () {
$scope.dt = null;
};
// Disable weekend selection
$scope.disabled = function(date, mode) {
return ( mode === 'day' && ( date.getDay() === 0 || date.getDay() === 6 ) );
};
$scope.toggleMin = function() {
$scope.minDate = ( $scope.minDate ) ? null : new Date();
};
$scope.toggleMin();
$scope.open = function($event, which) {
$event.preventDefault();
$event.stopPropagation();
$scope.datepickers[which]= true;
};
$scope.dateOptions = {
'year-format': "'yy'",
'starting-day': 1
};
$scope.formats = ['dd-MMMM-yyyy', 'yyyy/MM/dd', 'shortDate'];
$scope.format = $scope.formats[0];
});
// ***** Q2 ***** somemodel can be just an array [1,2,3,4,5]
<div ng-repeat="o in somemodel">
<label>Date Label</label>
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" datepicker-popup="{{format}}"
name="dt{{o}}" ng-model="datepickers.data[o]"
is-open="datepickers.isopen[o]" datepicker-options="datepickers.option"
ng-required="true" close-text="Close" />
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button class="btn btn-default" ng-click="open($event,o)">
<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-calendar"></i></button>
</span>
</div>
</div>
myApp.controller('DatePickrCntrl', function ($scope) {
$scope.datepickers = {
data: {},
options: {
'year-format': "'yy'",
'starting-day': 1
},
isopen: {}
}
$http.get("get/data/for/some/model", function(result) {
$scope.somemodel = result;
for (var i = 0; i < result.length; i++) {
$scope.datepickers.isopen[result] = false;
$scope.datepickers.data[result] = new Date(); //set default date.
}
});
// fill in rest of the function
});
