Date range picker component for Twitter Bootstrap

Date Range Picker for Twitter Bootstrap

This date range picker component for Twitter Bootstrap creates a dropdown menu from which a user can select a range of dates. I created it while building the UI for Improvely, which needed a way to select date ranges for reports.

If invoked with no options, it will present two calendars to choose a start and end date from. Optionally, you can provide a list of date ranges the user can select from instead of choosing dates from the calendars. If attached to a text input, the selected dates will be inserted into the text box. Otherwise, you can provide a custom callback function to receive the selection.

Note: On May 6th, the date parsing library was switched from Date.js to moment.js. This change is not backwards-compatible if you have specified custom date ranges.

Usage

This component relies on Twitter Bootstrap, Moment.js and jQuery.

Basic usage:

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="moment.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="daterangepicker.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="bootstrap.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="daterangepicker.css" />

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
  $('input[name="daterange"]').daterangepicker();
});
</script>

Additional options allow:

• Custom callback handler called when the date range selection is made
• Setting initial start and end dates for the calendars
• Overriding all labels in the interface with localized text
• Bounding the minimum and maximum selectable dates
• Starting the calendar week on any day of week
• Overriding the direction the dropdown expands (left/right of element it's attached to)
• Setting the date format string for parsing and printing dates
• Showing week numbers
• Maximum selectable range (i.e. 3 days, 1 week, 12 months)
• Month and year dropdowns

Syntax for all the options can be found in the examples.html file.
