Typing
You can control the parameters, which affect the typing user experience in the DateInput.
Allow Caret Mode
Setting the allowCaretMode option to true will show a blinking caret inside the DateInput, either when a date segment is partially complete, or when autoSwitchParts is false. By default the allowCaretMode is set to false.
Auto Correct Parts
The DateInput component automatically corrects the date segments when an invalid value is entered in the currently edited part. For example, if the value is January 31 and the user changes the month to February, the component will autocorrect the day to 28. By default, this functionality is enabled. To disable it, set the autoCorrectParts option to false.
Auto Switch Parts
The DateInput component allows you to automatically move to the next segment once a valid value is entered in the currently edited part. By default, this functionality is enabled. You can disable it by setting the autoSwitchParts option to false.
Auto Switch Keys
You can configure the keys that can be used to move to the next segment. The example below demonstrates how different keys can be added in the autoSwitchKeys array.
The left and right arrows always change the focused segment, regardless of this parameter value.
Enable Mouse Wheel
By default when a segment is selected its value can be increased or decreased using the mouse wheel. This behavior can be disabled by setting the enableMouseWheel option to false.
Auto-fill
Setting the autoFill option to true will autofill the rest of the date to the current date when the component loses focus. For example, entering only the date, month or year portion of the date and blurring the component, the missing sections will be automatically completed.
