Forms Support
You can use the DatePicker in Template-driven and Reactive forms.
Template-Driven Forms
The template-driven forms enable you to bind the DatePicker to the model by using the ngModel
directive.
The following example demonstrates how to use the DatePicker in template-driven forms.
Reactive Forms
The FormGroup
decorator provides a way to render reactive forms. For more details, refer to the Angular documentation.
The following example demonstrates how to use the DatePicker in a reactive form.
Managing the DatePicker Disabled State in Reactive Forms
To disable the DatePicker component when working with reactive forms and Angular 15 or later, use the FormControl's disabled
property/option or disable()
method.
Angular 15 introduces a breaking change affecting the synchronization of
setDisabledState
with the model-DOM. This impacts components using thedisabled
attribute. As a result, thedisabled
property of the Kendo UI for Angular components used prior to Angular 15 is no longer working in reactive forms.
FormField Association
The Kendo UI for Angular FormField component enables you to group form-related elements, such as inputs, labels, hint and error messages, and configure their behavior.
The following example demonstrates how to use the DatePicker within a FormField with hint and error messages.
