Date
The Date Picker allows the user to select the date consisting of day, month and year on the interface. Date pickers can display past, present, or future dates as defined.
Basic
Default Value
Enter the default string to be displayed when the widget is loaded. This can also be retrieved from the backend using query or loaded using low-code.
Validation
Required Field
Refers to the field that must be completed by the user, which means the field must be entered with a valid value before submitting the information.
Disable Past Dates
Restricts the users from entering any dates before the current day
Disable Future Dates
Restricts the users from entering any dates after the current day
Minimum Date
The value set here will be the minimum date the users can enter or pick on the widget. Any date before this value will not be accepted.
Maximum Date
The value set here will be the maximum date the users can enter or pick on the widget. Any date after this value will not be accepted.
Custom Rule
Apart from validating the entry using the regex rule, users can also use this property to write low-code and check other aspects. For example - check if the city selected in the previous field matches the desired value, throw a custom message to the user even before capturing the entry on this field.
Disabled Dates
Users can provide a set of disabled dates here which will make those specific dates read-only and cannot be selected.
