ReactJS DateTimeInput Component

The DateTimeInput component for ReactJS that enables the user to select a date or time using a popup calendar display or by keyboard input into the text field.

Prerequisites

Refer to ReactJS Getting Started before you start with this help topic.

Configuration

The DateTimeInput component for ReactJS requires the following imports.

 
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
 
import JqxDateTimeInput from 'jqwidgets-react/react_jqxdatetimeinput.js';
 

Then we create our component class. Properties and methods are put as ReactJS props.

  
class App extends React.Component {
  render () {
    return (
        <JqxDateTimeInput 
            width={300} height={40}
        />
    )
  }
}
 

Finally we render our class in the desired HTML element:

 
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('app'));
 

Events Methods & Properties

In order to bind to any event, change any property or call any method, we need a reference to the component.
For that we use the ReactJS "ref" Callback Attribute:

 
<JqxDateTimeInput ref='myDateTimeInput' width={300} height={40}..... />
 

Now, when we have a reference, we need to call the desired event/property/method.
This is done in the componentDidMount() ReactJS Component Lifecycle method.

Events

The change event is triggered when the value is changed.

The following example demonstrates how to add an event listener:

Methods & Properties

This is how you call methods & props:

Every component have a method setOptions which accepts a object as an argument. This object contains component settings.

Every component also have a method getOptions which returns a object containing the component settings.
