Requirements

• AngularJS
• pickadate
• JQuery

Install

1. Install dependency using bower

    bower install ng-pickadate --save 

2. Set overrides property in bower.json to register pickadate CSS files

• Classic theme

      "overrides": {       "pickadate": {         "main": [           "lib/picker.js",           "lib/picker.date.js",           "lib/picker.time.js",           "lib/themes/classic.css",           "lib/themes/classic.date.css",           "lib/themes/classic.time.css"         ]       }     } 

• Default theme

      "overrides": {       "pickadate": {         "main": [           "lib/picker.js",           "lib/picker.date.js",           "lib/picker.time.js",           "lib/themes/default.css",           "lib/themes/default.date.css",           "lib/themes/default.time.css"         ]       }     } 

Usage

1. Declare the dependency

    angular.module('yourApp', ['pickadate']); 

2. Use pick-a-date and pick-a-time directives.

   <input type="text" pick-a-date="curDate"/> <input type="text" pick-a-time="curTime"/>

   $scope.curDate = new Date(); // Only the date part of curDate                              // is synced to pick-a-date directive                               $scope.curTime = new Date(); // Only the time part of timeDate                              // is synced to pick-a-time directive

3. You can also provide additional max-date and min-date values.

    <input type="text" pick-a-date="startDate" max-date="endDate"/>  <input type="text" pick-a-date="endDate" min-date="startDate"/> 

Options

You can define pickadate.js options through pick-a-date-options and pick-a-time-options directives as well.

<input type="text" pick-a-date="curDate" pick-a-date-options="{ format: 'dd/mm/yy', selectYears: true }" /> 

If you find yourself setting the same options for multiple date pickers, you can set them as the default options for all date pickers by configuring pickADateProvider and pickATimeProvider.

angular.module('yourApp', ['pickadate'])   .config(['pickADateProvider', 'pickATimeProvider', function (pickADateProvider, pickATimeProvider) {     pickADateProvider.setOptions({       format: 'dd/mm/yy',       selectYears: true     });      pickATimeProvider.setOptions({       today: ''     });   }]);

Form Validation

AngularJS form validation can be used using ngModel. Keep in mind that ngModel keeps the string value of the raw input.

<form name="dateForm">   <input type="text" name="dateInput" ng-model="curDateText" pick-a-date="curDate"/>   <div ng-show="dateForm.dateInput.$error.required" style="color: red;">     <strong>Date is required.</strong>   </div> </form>

In order to correct how the pickadate.js affects ngModel states of its assigned input, ng-pickadate uses ngModelController to manually restore expected form validation states: $pristine, $dirty, $untouched, and $touched. The unexpected angular validation states caused by the pickadate.js jQuery plugin, and how they've been corrected, are as follows:

• When pickadate is initialized on an input, this triggers the input's ngModel to be marked as $dirty. To correct this, the ng-pickadate directives each set ngModel to $pristine at the end of the postlink function.
• When pickadate calendar opens, the input itself loses focus and its ngModel is marked as $touched. To correct this, the directives set ngModel to $untouched the first time the calendar opens, and set it to $touched whenever the calendar closes, via pickadate's onOpen and onClose methods, respectively.
