General configuration

General behavior props configuration

Info

• When checking the examples, for boolean prop types, the example will show the behavior opposite of what is set for the default value
• If you use the component in the browser <script> tag, make sure to pass multi-word props with -, for example, monthChangeOnScroll as month-change-on-scroll and so on

uid

Pass an id to the input and menu elements. If provided, you can select menu id as dp-menu-${uid} and input id as dp-input-${uid}

• Type: string
• Default: null

Code Example

<template>
    <VueDatePicker v-model="date" uid="demo" />
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue';

const date = ref(new Date());
</script>

month-change-on-scroll

Scrolling the mouse wheel over the calendar will change the month. Scroll down for next month and vice versa

You can also set the value to 'inverse', so that scrolling down will go to the previous month and up on the next

Code Example

<template>
    <VueDatePicker v-model="date" :month-change-on-scroll="false" />

  • Time picker: { hours: number | string; minutes: number | string; seconds?: number | string }
  • Week picker: [Date, Date] | [string, string]
  • Range picker: [Date, Date] | [string | string]
    • If you use time-picker, it will be { hours: number | string; minutes: number | string; seconds?: number | string }[]

  date.value = value;
}
</script>

model-type

Specify a custom format for v-model

    closeOnClearValue?: boolean;
    closeOnAutoApply?: boolean;
    noSwipe?: boolean;
    keepActionRow?: boolean;
    onClickOutside?: (validate: () => boolean) => void;
    tabOutClosesMenu?: boolean;
    arrowLeft?: string;
    keepViewOnOffsetClick?: boolean;
}

• Default: config

const config = {
    allowStopPropagation: true,
    closeOnScroll: false,
    modeHeight: 255,
    allowPreventDefault: false,
    closeOnClearValue: true,
    closeOnAutoApply: true,
    noSwipe: false,
    keepActionRow: false,
    onClickOutside: undefined,
    tabOutClosesMenu: true,
    arrowLeft: undefined,
    keepViewOnOffsetClick: false,
}

• allowStopPropagation: Enable event.sportPropagation on click events
• closeOnScroll: Close datepicker menu on page scroll
• modeHeight: If you use month-picker, time-picker or year-picker, set custom height of the picker in px
• allowPreventDefault: Due to the different implementations of how click outside listeners are implemented, you might encounter issues where the menu closes if the picker is used in dialogs when teleport prop is enabled. To prevent this issue, you need to set this option to true
• closeOnClearValue: Prevent closing the menu on value clear from the input field
• closeOnAutoApply: If set to false, clicking on a date value will automatically select the value but will not close the datepicker menu. Closing will be available on a click-away or clicking on the input again
• noSwipe: Disable touch events on the calendar
• keepActionRow: When enabled, it will keep the action row even if the auto-apply prop is enabled
• onClickOutside: Provide custom click outside handler. Exposed validation function that will return true or false depending on the selected value
• tabOutClosesMenu: When tabbing out of the picker menu it will close the picker menu (not compatible when using teleport)
• arrowLeft: Overrides default arrow position from left side of the menu. To keep it always in the center, set it to 50%. Accepts valid CSS value
• keepViewOnOffsetClick: When enabled, clicking on the offset date will not change the month that is currently in the view

loading

Adds a loading overlay in the menu

• Type: boolean
• Default: false

Code Example

<template>
    <VueDatePicker v-model="date" loading />
