Controlled Mode

By default, the DatePicker is in an uncontrolled state.

The DatePicker provides options for:

• Controlling its date value
• Controlling its popup state

Controlling the Date Value

To manage the date value of the DatePicker:

1. Use its value property.
2. Handle the onChange event.
3. Pass the new value through the props.

The following example demonstrates how to control the DatePicker value.

Controlling the Popup State

To manage the popup state of the DatePicker, use its show property, to set the shown state of the component.

The following example demonstrates how to control the state of the DatePicker calendar upon display.

jsx

class App extends React.Component {
    constructor(props) {
        super(props);

        this.state = {
            show: false
        };
    }
    handleClick = (event) => {
        this.setState({ show: !this.state.show });
    };
    render() {
        return (
            <div className="row">
                <div className="col-xs-12 col-md-6 example-col">
                    <p>Controlled DatePicker</p>
                    <DatePicker show={this.state.show} />
                    &nbsp;
                    <button className="k-button k-primary" onClick={this.handleClick}>
                        Toggle
                    </button>
                </div>
                <div className="col-xs-12 col-md-6 example-col">
                    <p>Always shown</p>
                    <DatePicker show={true} />
                </div>
            </div>
        );
    }
}
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.querySelector('my-app'));
