Description

How can I create range filtering for dates in the Kendo UI Grid for jQuery by using two Kendo UI DateTimePickers in row filtering modes?

Solution

Your project might require you to create range filtering for dates in the Grid by using two Kendo UI DateTimePickers in row filtering modes.

To see how the following example works, filter the date column in a range. As a result, the Grid filters the data in the given range.

<script src="https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/content/shared/js/people.js"></script>

<div id="example">
    <div id="grid"></div>

    <script>
        $(document).ready(function () {
            $("#grid").kendoGrid({
                dataSource: {
                    data: createRandomData(50),
                    schema: {
                        model: {
                            fields: {
                                City: { type: "string" },
                                Title: { type: "string" },
                                BirthDate: { type: "date" }
                            }
                        }
                    },
                    pageSize: 15
                },
                height: 550,
                scrollable: true,
                filterable: {
                    extra: false,
                    mode: "row"
                },
                pageable: true,
                columns: [
                    {
                        title: "Name",
                        template: "#=FirstName# #=LastName#"
                    },
                    {
                        field: "BirthDate",
                        title: "Birth Date",
                        format: "{0:MM/dd/yyyy}",
                        filterable: {
                            cell: { template: betweenFilter }

                        }
                    },
                    {
                        field: "City",
                        filterable: {
                            cell: { template: cityFilter }

                        }
                    }
                ]
            });
        });

        function cityFilter(args) {
            args.element.kendoDropDownList({
                dataSource: cities,
                optionLabel: "--Select Value--"
            });
        }
        function betweenFilter(args) {
            var filterCell = args.element.parents(".k-filtercell");

            filterCell.empty();
            filterCell.html('<span style="display:flex; justify-content:center;"><span>From:</span><input  class="start-date"/><span>To:</span><input  class="end-date"/></span>');

            $(".start-date", filterCell).kendoDatePicker({
                change: function (e) {
                    var startDate = e.sender.value(),
                        endDate = $("input.end-date", filterCell).data("kendoDatePicker").value(),
                        dataSource = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid").dataSource;

                    if (startDate & endDate) {
                        var filter = { logic: "and", filters: [] };
                        filter.filters.push({ field: "BirthDate", operator: "gte", value: startDate });
                        filter.filters.push({ field: "BirthDate", operator: "lte", value: endDate });
                        dataSource.filter(filter);
                    }
                }
            });
            $(".end-date", filterCell).kendoDatePicker({
                change: function (e) {
                    var startDate = $("input.start-date", filterCell).data("kendoDatePicker").value(),
                        endDate = e.sender.value(),
                        dataSource = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid").dataSource;

                    if (startDate & endDate) {
                        var filter = { logic: "and", filters: [] };
                        filter.filters.push({ field: "BirthDate", operator: "gte", value: startDate });
                        filter.filters.push({ field: "BirthDate", operator: "lte", value: endDate });
