Examples

Example 1: DatePickers for date and time

Show ExampleHide Example

The datePicker layers are placed on top of textBox layers that display the selected dates.

{
  "type": "datePicker",
  "formDataKey": "datePicker01Date",
  "formDisplayKey": "datePicker01DisplayDate",
  "mode": "date",
  "format": "yyyy-MM-dd",
  "displayFormat": "dd.MM.yyyy",
  "onDatePicked": "datePicked",
  "onlyFuture": true,
  "accentColor": "#2f96b4"
}

{
  "type": "datePicker",
  "formDataKey": "datePicker01Time",
  "formDisplayKey": "datePicker01DisplayTime",
  "mode": "time",
  "format": "HH:mm:ss",
  "displayFormat": "HH:mm",
  "onDatePicked": "timePicked",
  "onlyFuture": true,
  "accentColor": "#2f96b4"
}

{
  "type": "datePicker",
  "formDataKey": "datePicker01DateTime",
  "formDisplayKey": "datePicker01DisplayDateTime",
  "mode": "dateAndTime",
