Date Range Picker for Blazor

Live Demo

This date range picker component is a port of js DateRangePicker, rewritten using C# as a Razor Component. It creates a dropdown menu from which a user can select a range of dates.

There is no dependency with jquery, moment, or bootstrap

Features include limiting the selectable date range, localizable strings and date formats, a single date picker mode, and predefined date ranges.

JS Interop is used for popup positioning and outside click handling. With future releases of ASP.NET Core Blazor it will be possible without js.

Get Started

Download library from NuGet in the NuGet Package Manager, or by executing the following command in the Package Manager Console:

Install-Package BlazorDateRangePicker

The component uses css and js isolation, you don't need to add anything to your _Host.cshtml or index.html, just make sure the isolated styles are connected:

<link href="{ASSEMBLY NAME}.styles.css" rel="stylesheet">

Use the component:

@using BlazorDateRangePicker

<DateRangePicker/>

Gives you:

<input type="text"/>

Tag attributes will be passed to input field:

@using BlazorDateRangePicker

<DateRangePicker class="form-control form-control-sm" placeholder="Select dates..." />

Gives you:

<input type="text" class="form-control form-control-sm" placeholder="Select dates..."/>

Setting properties:

@using BlazorDateRangePicker

<DateRangePicker MinDate="DateTimeOffset.Now.AddYears(-10)" MaxDate="DateTimeOffset.Now" />

Two-way data binding:

@using BlazorDateRangePicker

<DateRangePicker @bind-StartDate="StartDate" @bind-EndDate="EndDate" />

@code {
    DateTimeOffset? StartDate { get; set; } = DateTime.Today.AddMonths(-1);
    DateTimeOffset? EndDate { get; set; } = DateTime.Today.AddDays(1).AddTicks(-1);
}

Handle selection event:

@using BlazorDateRangePicker

<DateRangePicker OnRangeSelect="OnRangeSelect" />

@code {
    public void OnRangeSelect(DateRange range)
    {
        //Use range.Start and range.End here
    }
}

More complex usage:

Using custom markup for picker.

@using BlazorDateRangePicker

<DateRangePicker Culture="@(System.Globalization.CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-US"))">
    <PickerTemplate>
        <div id="@context.Id" @onclick="context.Toggle" style="background: #fff; cursor: pointer; padding: 5px 10px; width: 250px; border: 1px solid #ccc;">
            <i class="oi oi-calendar"></i>&nbsp;
            <span>@context.FormattedRange @(string.IsNullOrEmpty(context.FormattedRange) ? "Choose dates..." : "")</span>
            <i class="oi oi-chevron-bottom float-right"></i>
        </div>
    </PickerTemplate>
</DateRangePicker>

Set id="@context.Id" for outside click handling to root element.

Custom buttons:

<DateRangePicker @bind-StartDate="StartDate" @bind-EndDate="EndDate">
    <ButtonsTemplate>
        <button class="cancelBtn btn btn-sm btn-default"
            @onclick="@context.ClickCancel" type="button">Cancel</button>
        <button class="cancelBtn btn btn-sm btn-default"
            @onclick="@(e => ResetClick(e, context))" type="button">Reset</button>
        <button class="applyBtn btn btn-sm btn-primary" @onclick="@context.ClickApply"
            disabled="@(context.TStartDate == null || context.TEndDate == null)"
            type="button">Apply</button>
    </ButtonsTemplate>
</DateRangePicker>

@code {
    DateTimeOffset? StartDate { get; set; }
    DateTimeOffset? EndDate { get; set; }

    void ResetClick(MouseEventArgs e, DateRangePicker picker)
    {
        StartDate = null;
        EndDate = null;
        // Close the picker
        picker.Close();
        // Fire OnRangeSelectEvent
        picker.OnRangeSelect.InvokeAsync(new DateRange());
    }
}

Use Picker.TStartDate and Picker.TEndDate properties to get current picker state before a user clicks the 'apply' button.

One configuration for all pickers

#Startup.cs

using BlazorDateRangePicker;

//ConfigureServices
services.AddDateRangePicker(config =>
{
    config.Attributes = new Dictionary<string, object>
    {
        { "class", "form-control form-control-sm" }
    };
});

It's possible to create multiple named config instances and bind it to picker with "Config" property.

services.AddDateRangePicker(config => ..., configName: "CustomConfig");

<DateRangePicker Config="CustomConfig" />
