Date Picker

DatePicker control enables the user to choose a date as a ready-to-use dialog. Every date part can be picked separately by its corresponding section of the control - for day, month and year.

Usage

Using DatePicker is as straightforward as setting year, month, and day. Alternatively, you can set the date property (accepts a Date object). If required you can also set minDate and maxDate.

<DatePicker year="1980" month="4" day="20"
            [minDate]="minDate" [maxDate]="maxDate"
            (dateChange)="onDateChanged($event)" 
            (dayChange)="onDayChanged($event)" 
            (monthChange)="onMonthChanged($event)" 
            (yearChange)="onYearChanged($event)" 
            (loaded)="onDatePickerLoaded($event)"
            verticalAlignment="center">
</DatePicker>

import { Component } from "@angular/core";
import { DatePicker } from "tns-core-modules/ui/date-picker";

@Component({
    moduleId: module.id,
    templateUrl: "./usage.component.html"
})
export class DatePickerUsageComponent {
    minDate: Date = new Date(1975, 0, 29);
    maxDate: Date = new Date(2045, 4, 12);

    onDatePickerLoaded(args) {
        // const datePicker = args.object as DatePicker;
    }

    onDateChanged(args) {
        console.log("Date New value: " + args.value);
        console.log("Date value: " + args.oldValue);
    }

    onDayChanged(args) {
        console.log("Day New value: " + args.value);
        console.log("Day Old value: " + args.oldValue);
    }

    onMonthChanged(args) {
        console.log("Month New value: " + args.value);
        console.log("Month Old value: " + args.oldValue);
    }

    onYearChanged(args) {
        console.log("Year New value: " + args.value);
        console.log("Year Old value: " + args.oldValue);
    }
}

Styling

.date-picker {
    background-color: olivedrab;
    border-color: burlywood;
    border-width: 2;
    border-radius: 10;
    color: whitesmoke;
    vertical-align: middle;
}

<DatePicker year="1980" month="4" day="20" class="date-picker"></DatePicker>

Note: On Android the native widgets android.widget.DatePicker is not allowing runtime changes to the color property. So if you want to have a different color for your day/month/year properties, you need to change it via the Android resources by providing custom styles.xml (in values-v21) where the style for android:textColorPrimary can be overwritten.
