In bootstrap datepicker change month event is not working

Sarath TS picture Sarath TS · Dec 7, 2017 · Viewed 9.5k times · Source

I have a booking availability checking section on my website. I used bootstrap datepicker.

When page loads first time, I am fetching some dates using jquery ajax & php from database to disable dates on datepicker calendar. So, I used setDatesDisabled. On first loads of datepicker it is works fine.

When I change month I am getting json response but dates are not disabled on datepicker. I have tried with changeMonth event but not working. Please help me to solve this issue

Json response

disableDates:["13.01.2018", "20.01.2018", "27.01.2018"]

$("#dateFrom").datepicker({
                autoclose: true,
                todayHighlight: true,
                format: 'dd.mm.yy',
                startDate: new Date()
            }).on('show', function(e) {
                $.ajax({
                    url: '/cabinowner/bookings/availability',
                    dataType: 'JSON',
                    type: 'POST'
                })
                    .done(function( response ) {
                        $("#dateFrom").datepicker('setDatesDisabled', response.disableDates);
                    })
                    .fail(function(response, jqxhr, textStatus, error) {
                    });
            });

            $("#dateFrom").datepicker().on('changeMonth', function(e) {
                $.ajax({
                    url: '/cabinowner/bookings/availability',
                    dataType: 'JSON',
                    type: 'POST',
                    data: { date : moment(e.date).format('YY-MM-DD') }
                })
                    .done(function( response ) {
                        // here response is getting but next month is not showing
                        $("#dateFrom").datepicker('setDatesDisabled', response.disableDates);
                    })
                    .fail(function(response, jqxhr, textStatus, error) {
                    });
            });

            $("#dateFrom").datepicker().on('changeDate', function(e) {
                var temp   = $(this).datepicker('getDate');
                var start  = new Date(temp);
                start.setDate(start.getDate() + 1); // Here date is setting greater than start date

                var end    = new Date(start);
                end.setDate(end.getDate() + 60);

                $("#dateTo").datepicker({
                    autoclose: true,
                    format: 'dd.mm.yy',
                    startDate: start,
                    endDate: end
                });
            });

Next month is not showing because setDatesDisabled changes month back. There is a demo with timeout to see it in action.

It happens because at the end the viewDate property is updated and it is set to startDate option or default value (today). On datepicker rerender - it shows the current viewDate thus changes month back.

You can try to disable updateViewDate option when datepicker is initialized.

Demo

var dp = $('input').datepicker({
                autoclose: true,
                todayHighlight: true,
                format: 'dd.mm.yyyy',
                startDate: new Date(),
                updateViewDate: false
            });    

dp.on('changeMonth', function (e) {    
    dp.datepicker('setDatesDisabled', ["13.01.2018", "20.01.2018", "27.01.2018"]);
});
