Trigger another datetimepicker using jquery

I want to open datepicker once I select date in another picker. For this we can see so many suggestions and answers in datepicker but I could not find solution for datetimepicker. The default datetimepicker I have used in my project is this

$('.datepicker').datetimepicker({
    format: 'MM/DD/YYYY',
    icons: {
        time: "fa fa-clock-o",
        date: "fa fa-calendar",
        up: "fa fa-chevron-up",
        down: "fa fa-chevron-down",
        previous: 'fa fa-chevron-left',
        next: 'fa fa-chevron-right',
        today: 'fa fa-screenshot',
        clear: 'fa fa-trash',
        close: 'fa fa-remove',
        inline: true
    }
});

try

$( "#QuoteDate" ).datepicker({
    minDate: 0, 
    changeMonth: true,
    changeYear: true,
    maxDate: "+2Y",
    onSelect: function( selectedDate ) {
        $( "#DueDate" ).datepicker("option", "minDate", selectedDate );
        setTimeout(function(){
            $( "#DueDate" ).datepicker('show');
        }, 16);
    }
});
$( "#DueDate" ).datepicker({
    changeMonth: true,
    changeYear: true,
    maxDate: "+2Y",
});

If I try to code like onSelect: as in datepicker it's not accepting. Please anyone helps me to find solution for this. onSelect date in this picker will call another picker.

Solution

  • If you need to have linked datetimepicker take a look at Linked Pickers example in the docs.

    You have to add a listner to dp.change event since the datetimepicker has no onSelect option. Note that dp.change:

    Fired when the date is changed.

    Parameters:

    e = {
    date, //date the picker changed to. Type: moment object (clone)
    oldDate //previous date. Type: moment object (clone) or false in the event of a null
}

    You can use show() function to make the second datetimepicker open.

    Here a full live example:

    var icons = {
  time: "fa fa-clock-o",
  date: "fa fa-calendar",
  up: "fa fa-chevron-up",
  down: "fa fa-chevron-down",
  previous: 'fa fa-chevron-left',
  next: 'fa fa-chevron-right',
  today: 'fa fa-screenshot',
  clear: 'fa fa-trash',
  close: 'fa fa-remove',
  //inline: true
};

$('#QuoteDate').datetimepicker({
  format: 'MM/DD/YYYY',
  useCurrent: false,
  minDate: moment().startOf('day'),
  maxDate: moment().add(2, 'years'),
  icons: icons
}).on('dp.change', function(e){
  console.log('change', e.date, e.oldDate);
  if( 
    ( e.date && !e.oldDate ) ||
    ( e.date && e.oldDate && !e.date.isSame(e.oldDate, 'day') )
  ){
    setTimeout(function(){
      $('#DueDate').data("DateTimePicker").show();
    }, 16);
  }
  $('#DueDate').data("DateTimePicker").minDate(e.date);
});

$('#DueDate').datetimepicker({
  format: 'MM/DD/YYYY',
  useCurrent: false,
  minDate: moment().startOf('day'),
  maxDate: moment().add(2, 'years'),
  icons: icons
}).on('dp.change', function(e){
  $('#QuoteDate').data("DateTimePicker").maxDate(e.date);
});

    Since you are using datetimepicker, you can have minDate: moment().startOf('day') instead of minDate: 0 and maxDate: moment().add(2, 'years') instead of maxDate: "+2Y" (see moment startOf() and add() docs for more info).

    As suggested in the Linked Pickers example you have to use useCurrent: false option.
