Materialize Pickers

Materialize Pickers is a plugin that adds date and time pickers to input fields. It makes it easy for users to select a date or time on the form inputs. The pickers provide a better user experience for filling in forms and ensure that users provide accurate and valid information.

Syntax

To use Materialize Pickers, you need to include the necessary CSS and JavaScript files in your HTML document. You can then add the picker to your input field by adding the following code:

$('.datepicker').datepicker();
$('.timepicker').timepicker();

You can customize the pickers by adding options to the initialization script. For example, you can set the date format, range, and default date as follows:

$('.datepicker').datepicker({
    format: 'yyyy-mm-dd',
    minDate: new Date(),
    defaultDate: new Date()
});

Use

Materialize Pickers are useful in situations where you need to collect date or time data from users. They are commonly used in forms for booking appointments, scheduling events, setting reminders, or planning meetings.

Importance

Materialize Pickers make it easy for users to provide accurate and valid information when filling in forms. They provide a better user experience and reduce errors and inconsistencies in the data collected.

Materialize Pickers use Material Design, which is a design language that is easy to use and understand. The consistency and clarity of Material Design make it easy for users to learn how to use the pickers and navigate the forms.

Example

<!--Date Picker-->
<div class="input-field">
    <input type="text" class="datepicker">
    <label for="datepicker">Date</label>
</div>

<!--Time Picker-->
<div class="input-field">
    <input type="text" class="timepicker">
    <label for="timepicker">Time</label>
</div>

<script>
    $(document).ready(function(){
        $('.datepicker').datepicker();
        $('.timepicker').timepicker();
    });
</script>
