I am new in react. I need use react-datepicker
I want to get value of input, when I change date.
If i click on 20th October 2017, i want put 20th October 2017 in my variable.
But the main problem that I should work with component, not with input.
Before I just took value from state. Like this.state.value. But right now it is object(Moment) in state. And this object doesn't have value field.
There is my code:
export default class DatePicker extends Component {
constructor (props) {
super(props);
// this.props.date should looks like "29 November 2017 00:00"
// second argument for moment() it is format of date, because RFC 2822 date time format
this.state = {
date: moment(this.props.value, 'LLL')
};
}
handleChange = (date) => {
// const valueOfInput = this.state.date <--- I want string with date here
console.log('this.state.date',this.state.date);
this.setState({date: date});
};
render() {
return <Form.Field>
<Label>
<Picker
selected={this.state.date}
onChange={this.handleChange}
dateFormat="LLL"
locale={this.props.language}
/>
</Label>
</Form.Field>
Just use this:
handleChange = date => {
const valueOfInput = date.format();
///...
};
Because this datepicker
returns a moment.js
object!
For more information, look into the moment.js docs here.
If you want to get the new value (once the user clicks on a new date from DatePicker) pass the event to the method.
class MyComponent extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
this.state = {inputValue: moment(),} // this will set the initial date to "today",
// you could also put another prop.state value there
this.handleChange = this.handleChange.bind(this);
}
}
handleChange(value) {
console.log(value); // this will be a moment date object
// now you can put this value into state
this.setState({inputValue: value});
}
render(){
...
<DatePicker
onChange={(event) => this.handleChange(event)}
selected={this.state.inputValue} otherProps={here} />
...
}
};
Try this
<DatePicker
onChange={(value, e) => this.handleChange(value, e)}
selected={this.state.inputValue} otherProps={here} />
// you can access the value field in handleChange by e.target.value
handleChange(value, e) {
console.log(value); // this will be a moment date object
console.log(e.target.value); // this will be a string value in datepicker input field
}
The new version of react-datepicker library stopped using a moment.js object, so here is my solution if you want to get a formatted string representation of the date.
First import
import format from "date-fns/format";
Then
<DatePicker
onChange={(value)=>this.handleChange(format(value, "yyyy/MM/dd", {
awareOfUnicodeTokens: true }))}
dateFormat="yyyy/MM/dd"
selected={this.state.inputValue} otherProps={here} />
...
