jsdatecalculator

Introduction

Provides javascript functions to automatically calculates Start Date, End Date, and Duration from each other. Built specifically for Symfony DateTimeType field choice widgets. For example, you input start date into one symfony dateTimeType component and input duration into another dateIntervalType component, you can call this tool's updateEndFromStartDur function and it will automatically update a third dateTimeType component that represents an end date. Similarly, you can use this tools updateStartFromEndDur and updateDurFromStartEnd functions to change a start date from duration and end date or change a duration from start date and end date respectively.

How to use

This tool is a single javascript file. To use, download and paste into public folder or other folder that can be accesed by the twig template file or similar that makes use of the symfony dateTimeType and dateIntervalType components. As shown below, in symfony form builder function add 'LStartDate' to the class attribute of the start date dateTimeType form field in symfony; add 'LDuration' to the class attribute of the duration DateIntervalType form field; and add 'LEndDate' to the class attribute of the end date DateTimeType form field.

Currently, jsdatecalculator can only handle symfonys choice widgets.

 $builder
        ->add('startDate', DateTimeType::class, [
            'widget'      => 'choice',
            'with_minutes'  => true,
            'with_seconds' => true,
            'attr' => ['class' => 'LStartDate']
        ])
        ->add('duration', DateIntervalType::class, [
            'widget'      => 'choice',
            'with_years'  => true,
            'with_months' => true,
            'with_days'   => true,
            'with_hours'  => true,
            'with_minutes' => true,
            'with_seconds' => true,
            'attr' => ['class' => 'LDuration']
            ])
        ->add('endDate', DateTimeType::class, [
            'widget'      => 'choice',
            'with_minutes'  => true,
            'with_seconds' => true,
            'attr' => ['class' => 'LEndDate']
        ])

Update 'LEndDate' from 'LStartDate' and 'LDuration' using updateFromStartDur function

    {{form_row(form.duration)}}  <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" onclick="changeDurFromStartEnd()">Update Duration</button>                       
    {{form_row(form.endDate)}}   <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" onclick="changeEndFromStartDur()">Update End Date</button>
