How to set and get values examples?

[basharald]

Using v6 from tempusdominus datepicker

Reference: https://getdatepicker.com/6/functions.html

I have tried many function function trying to set a value to the datetime picker but nothing is working,, below my tries:

var DateTimeVal = moment('05/07/2022 00:00').format('MM/DD/YYYY HH:mm');

$('#DateTime').data("DateTimePicker").date(DateTimeVal);

The above sample was working in previous version (4) but in V6 it's giving error:

Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'date')

2nd try:

Based on the SetVal Function mentioned in the documentation https://getdatepicker.com/6/functions.html

var DateTimeVal = moment('05/07/2022 00:00').format('MM/DD/YYYY HH:mm');

const picker = new tempusDominus.TempusDominus(document.getElementById('DateTime'));

picker.setValue(DateTimeVal);

It's giving error:

picker.setValue is not a function

Would you please assist ? as the mentioned samples not clear in their official website...

Hey @basharald why don't you simply set the value to the input field and that's all?

document.getElementById('DateTime').value = '09/05/2022 10:00'

[basharald]

Because simply the picker value will not be selected in this case ! ... here you will set the input field value only.

[Eonasdan]

You need picker.dates.setValue(new tempusDominus.DateTime())

https://getdatepicker.com/6/functions.html#datesSet

There's also dates.setFromInput and dates.parseInput. parseInput returns a DateTime object.

Thank @Eonasdan , finally .. as the setValue was not mentioned any where in the documentations that it takes an tempusDominus object
