How to use datepicker on MVC Core in ASP form
Solution 1
For asp.net core,If you use the default MVC template and you do not disable the Layout,you need to add @section Scripts{}
.
Reference:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/mvc/views/layout?view=aspnetcore-3.1#sections
Also be sure that the type of input should be text to avoid Html5 default datepicker:
<div class="form-group">
<label asp-for="RegisterDate" class="control-label"></label>
<input asp-for="RegisterDate" id="datepicker" type="text" class="form-control" value="@DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm")" />
<span asp-validation-for="RegisterDate" class="text-danger"></span>
</div>
@section Scripts
{
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css">
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<script>
$(function () {
$("#datepicker").datepicker();
});
</script>
}
Result(I used Google Chrome):
Update:
If you want to use datetimepicker,here is a working demo like below:
@model Test
<div class="form-group">
<label asp-for="RegisterDate" class="control-label"></label>
<div class='input-group date' id='datepicker'>
<input asp-for="RegisterDate" type="text" class="form-control" value="@DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm")" />
<span class="input-group-addon">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-calendar"></span>
</span>
</div>
<span asp-validation-for="RegisterDate" class="text-danger"></span>
</div>
@section Scripts
{
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.15.1/moment.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twitter-bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-datetimepicker/4.7.14/js/bootstrap-datetimepicker.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twitter-bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-datetimepicker/4.7.14/css/bootstrap-datetimepicker.min.css">
<script>
$(function () {
$('#datepicker').datetimepicker();
});
</script>
}
Solution 2
You need add datepicker
id to input field:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/resources/demos/style.css">
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<script>
$( function() {
$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker();
} );
</script>
...
<div class="form-group">
<label asp-for="RegisterDate" class="control-label"></label>
<input asp-for="RegisterDate" id="datepicker" class="form-control" value="@DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm")"/>
<span asp-validation-for="RegistertDate" class="text-danger"></span>
</div>

DVLanleyC almost 2 years
In my MVC core web application I dont see a datepicker on all browsers so I would like to use the jQuery datepicker.
Currently in my Model I have :
[Required] [Display(Name = "RegisterDate")] //[DisplayFormat(ApplyFormatInEditMode = true, DataFormatString = "{0:yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss}")] public override DateTime RegisterDate { get; set; }
In the .html file I have : (these are just some pieces of code)
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="/resources/demos/style.css"> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js"></script> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js"></script> <script> $( function() { $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker(); } ); </script> ... <div class="form-group"> <label asp-for="RegisterDate" class="control-label"></label> <input asp-for="RegisterDate" class="form-control" value="@DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm")" /> <span asp-validation-for="RegistertDate" class="text-danger"></span> </div>
My question is how do I get the jquery datepicker to work on this? I do not want to download any NuGet packages because of some dependencies on the project. I prefer to work with CDN.
Thanks in advance for the help.
