Description
How can I select a range of dates in the Kendo Calendar widget?
Solution
Once the user chooses both the end and start dates, select the dates in the selected range by using the selectDates method.
<label>Start:</label>
<input id='start'/>
<label>End:</label>
<input id='end'/>
<br/>
<div id='calendar' style='margin:10px'></div>
<script>
Date.prototype.addDays = function (days) {
var dat = new Date(this.valueOf());
dat.setDate(dat.getDate() + days);
return dat;
}
$('#start').kendoDatePicker({
change: rangeSelection
});
$('#end').kendoDatePicker({
change: rangeSelection
});
$('#calendar').kendoCalendar({
selectable:'multiple'
});
function rangeSelection() {
var start = $('#start').data('kendoDatePicker');
var end = $('#end').data('kendoDatePicker');
var calendar = $('#calendar').data('kendoCalendar');
if (start.value() && end.value() && start.value().getTime() <= end.value().getTime()) {
debugger
var datesToSelect = [];
var daysToAdd = 0;
while (true) {
var dateToAdd = start.value().addDays(daysToAdd);
if (dateToAdd.getTime() >= end.value().getTime()) {
datesToSelect.push(dateToAdd);
break;
}
datesToSelect.push(dateToAdd);
daysToAdd++;
}
calendar.selectDates(datesToSelect);
}
}
</script>
