## DatePicker

Use Date Picker for date input.

###  Enter Date

Basic date picker measured by 'day'.

:::demo The measurement is determined by the `type` attribute. You can enable quick options by creating a `picker-options` object with `shortcuts` property. The disabled date is set by `disabledDate`, which is a function.

```html
<template>
  <div class="block">
    <span class="demonstration">Default</span>
    <el-date-picker
      v-model="value1"
      type="date"
      placeholder="Pick a day">
    </el-date-picker>
  </div>
  <div class="block">
    <span class="demonstration">Picker with quick options</span>
    <el-date-picker
      v-model="value2"
      type="date"
      placeholder="Pick a day"
      :picker-options="pickerOptions1">
    </el-date-picker>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        pickerOptions1: {
          disabledDate(time) {
            return time.getTime() > Date.now();
          },
          shortcuts: [{
            text: 'Today',
            onClick(picker) {
              picker.$emit('pick', new Date());
            }
          }, {
            text: 'Yesterday',
            onClick(picker) {
              const date = new Date();
              date.setTime(date.getTime() - 3600 * 1000 * 24);
              picker.$emit('pick', date);
            }
          }, {
            text: 'A week ago',
            onClick(picker) {
              const date = new Date();
              date.setTime(date.getTime() - 3600 * 1000 * 24 * 7);
              picker.$emit('pick', date);
            }
          }]
        },
        value1: '',
        value2: '',
      };
    }
  };
</script>
```
:::

### Other measurements

You can choose week, month, year or multiple dates by extending the standard date picker component.

:::demo

```html
<div class="container">
  <div class="block">
    <span class="demonstration">Week</span>
    <el-date-picker
      v-model="value3"
      type="week"
      format="Week WW"
      placeholder="Pick a week">
    </el-date-picker>
  </div>
  <div class="block">
    <span class="demonstration">Month</span>
    <el-date-picker
      v-model="value4"
      type="month"
      placeholder="Pick a month">
    </el-date-picker>
  </div>
</div>
<div class="container">
  <div class="block">
    <span class="demonstration">Year</span>
    <el-date-picker
      v-model="value5"
      type="year"
      placeholder="Pick a year">
    </el-date-picker>
  </div>
  <div class="block">
    <span class="demonstration">Dates</span>
    <el-date-picker
      type="dates"
      v-model="value14"
      placeholder="Pick one or more dates">
    </el-date-picker>
  </div>
</div>

<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        value3: '',
        value4: '',
        value5: '',
        value14: ''
      };
    }
  };
</script>
```

:::

###  Date Range

Picking a date range is supported.

:::demo When in range mode, the left and right panels are linked by default. If you want the two panels to switch current months independently, you can use the `unlink-panels` attribute.

```html
<template>
  <div class="block">
    <span class="demonstration">Default</span>
    <el-date-picker
      v-model="value6"
      type="daterange"
      range-separator="To"
      start-placeholder="Start date"
      end-placeholder="End date">
    </el-date-picker>
  </div>
  <div class="block">
    <span class="demonstration">With quick options</span>
    <el-date-picker
      v-model="value7"
      type="daterange"
      align="right"
      unlink-panels
      range-separator="To"
      start-placeholder="Start date"
      end-placeholder="End date"
      :picker-options="pickerOptions2">
    </el-date-picker>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        pickerOptions2: {
          shortcuts: [{
            text: 'Last week',
            onClick(picker) {
              const end = new Date();
              const start = new Date();
              start.setTime(start.getTime() - 3600 * 1000 * 24 * 7);
              picker.$emit('pick', [start, end]);
            }
          }, {
            text: 'Last month',
            onClick(picker) {
              const end = new Date();
              const start = new Date();
              start.setTime(start.getTime() - 3600 * 1000 * 24 * 30);
              picker.$emit('pick', [start, end]);
            }
          }, {
            text: 'Last 3 months',
            onClick(picker) {
              const end = new Date();
              const start = new Date();
              start.setTime(start.getTime() - 3600 * 1000 * 24 * 90);
              picker.$emit('pick', [start, end]);
            }
          }]
        },
        value6: '',
        value7: ''
      };
    }
  };
</script>
```

:::

###  Default Value

If user hasn't picked a date, shows today's calendar by default. You can use `default-value` to set another date. Its value should be parsable by `new Date()`.

If type is `daterange`, `default-value` sets the left side calendar.

:::demo
```html
<template>
  <div class="block">
    <span class="demonstration">date</span>
    <el-date-picker
      v-model="value8"
      type="date"
      placeholder="Pick a date"
      default-value="2010-10-01">
    </el-date-picker>
  </div>
  <div class="block">
    <span class="demonstration">daterange</span>
    <el-date-picker
      v-model="value9"
      type="daterange"
      align="right"
      start-placeholder="Start Date"
      end-placeholder="End Date"
      default-value="2010-10-01">
    </el-date-picker>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        value8: '',
        value9: ''
      };
    }
  };
</script>
```
:::

###  Date Formats
Use `format` to control displayed text's format in the input box. Use `value-format` to control binding value's format.

By default, the component accepts and emits a `Date` object. Below are supported format strings, using UTC 2017-01-02 03:04:05 as an example:

:::warning
Pay attention to capitalization
:::

| format | meaning | note | example |
|------|------|------|------|------|
| `yyyy` | year | | 2017 |
| `M`  | month | no leading 0 | 1 |
| `MM` | month | | 01 |
| `W`  | week | only for week picker's `format`; no leading 0 | 1 |
| `WW` | week | only for week picker's `format`| 01 |
| `d`  | day | no leading 0 | 2 |
| `dd` | day | | 02 |
| `H`  | hour | 24-hour clock; no leading 0 | 3 |
| `HH` | hour | 24-hour clock | 03 |
| `h`  | hour | 12-hour clock; must be used with `A` or `a`; no leading 0 | 3 |
| `hh` | hour | 12-hour clock; must be used with `A` or `a` | 03 |
| `m`  | minute | no leading 0 | 4 |
| `mm` | minute | | 04 |
| `s`  | second | no leading 0 | 5 |
| `ss` | second | | 05 |
| `A`  | AM/PM | only for `format`, uppercased | AM |
| `a`  | am/pm | only for `format`, lowercased | am |
| `timestamp` | JS timestamp | only for `value-format`; binding value will be a `number` | 1483326245000 |

###  Default time for start date and end date

When picking a date range, you can assign the time part for start date and end date.

:::demo By default, the time part of start date and end date are both `00:00:00`. Setting `default-time` can change their time respectively. It accepts an array of up to two strings with the format of `12:00:00`. The first string sets the time for the start date, and the second for the end date.
```html
<template>
  <div class="block">
    <p>Component value：{{ value13 }}</p>
    <el-date-picker
      v-model="value13"
      type="daterange"
      start-placeholder="Start date"
      end-placeholder="End date"
      :default-time="['00:00:00', '23:59:59']">
    </el-date-picker>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        value13: ''
      };
    }
  };
</script>
```
