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.

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')
);
