TagHelper - How to define an array?

[Daniel]

Hey guys,

currently I'm trying to get use of the tag helper in general. Now I'm stuck at the daterangepicker.

Can somebody describe how you can put an array to the definition? I'm talking about the "DisableDates".

Html.Kendo().DateRangePicker()
                        .DisableDates(new[] { "sa", "su" })
                        .Max(DateTime.Now.AddYears(1))
                        .Messages(m => m.StartLabel("Start").EndLabel("Ende"))
                        .Name("daterangepickerReservierungswunsch")
                        .Range(r => r.Start(Model.Startdatum).End(Model.Enddatum))

<kendo-daterangepicker name="daterangeReservation" disable-dates="???" max="DateTime.Now.AddYears(1)" >
                <messages start-label="Start" end-label="Ende" />
                <range start="Model.DateStart" end="Model.DateEnd" />
            </kendo-daterangepicker>

Hi Daniel,

The disable-dates TagHelper configuration expects an array of DataTime objects. So if you want to disable the weekends for selection you can generate an array of dates that will be disabled in a Razor code block and pass the generated array to the disabled-dates configuration option:

@addTagHelper *, Kendo.Mvc
@addTagHelper *, Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.TagHelpers

@{
    IEnumerable<DateTime> GetDaysBetween(DateTime start, DateTime end)
    {
        for (DateTime i = start; i < end; i = i.AddDays(1))
        {
            yield return i;
        }
    }

    var weekends = GetDaysBetween(DateTime.Today, DateTime.Today.AddYears(1))
        .Where(d => d.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Saturday || d.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Sunday).ToArray();
}

<kendo-daterangepicker name="daterangeReservation" disable-dates="weekends" max="DateTime.Now.AddYears(1)" >
                <messages start-label="Start" end-label="Ende" />
                <range start="DateTime.Now" end="DateTime.Now.AddDays(10)"/>
            </kendo-daterangepicker>

Here is a REPL demonstrating the above.
