I have an application where I have some PHP logic that returns a JSON array of dates that I want BLOCKED from selection in a jQuery UI datepicker. I am returning this array from the logic:
["2013-03-14","2013-03-15","2013-03-16"]
Is there a simple way to tell the jQuery UI datepicker "block these dates from selection in the datepicker"?
I've read the jQuery UI documentation and I see nothing that helps me.
You can use beforeShowDay to do this. The following example disables the dates you listed in your question via a declared array:
var array = ["2013-03-14","2013-03-15","2013-03-16"]
$('input').datepicker({
beforeShowDay: function(date){
var string = jQuery.datepicker.formatDate('yy-mm-dd', date);
return [ array.indexOf(string) == -1 ]
}
});<link href="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.9.2/themes/redmond/jquery-ui.css" rel="stylesheet"/>

<input />
return array.indexOf(string) != -1 ? [false] : $.datepicker.noWeekends(date);Arun P Johny's answer is good if you're using IE9+ or newer browsers. However, IE8 doesn't have the indexOf function, so I modified that answer's code to use jQuery's .inArray function, instead.
$('input').datepicker({
beforeShowDay: function(date){
var string = jQuery.datepicker.formatDate('yy-mm-dd', date);
return [$.inArray(string, array) == -1];
}
});
If you also want to block Sundays (or other days) as well as the array of dates, I use this code:
jQuery(function($){
var disabledDays = [
"27-4-2016", "25-12-2016", "26-12-2016",
"4-4-2017", "5-4-2017", "6-4-2017", "6-4-2016", "7-4-2017", "8-4-2017", "9-4-2017"
];
//replace these with the id's of your datepickers
$("#id-of-first-datepicker,#id-of-second-datepicker").datepicker({
beforeShowDay: function(date){
var day = date.getDay();
var string = jQuery.datepicker.formatDate('d-m-yy', date);
var isDisabled = ($.inArray(string, disabledDays) != -1);
//day != 0 disables all Sundays
return [day != 0 && !isDisabled];
}
});
});
$('input').datepicker({
beforeShowDay: function(date){
var string = jQuery.datepicker.formatDate('yy-mm-dd', date);
return [ array.indexOf(string) == -1 ]
}
});
beforeShowDate didn't work for me, so I went ahead and developed my own solution:
$('#embeded_calendar').datepicker({
minDate: date,
localToday:datePlusOne,
changeDate: true,
changeMonth: true,
changeYear: true,
yearRange: "-120:+1",
onSelect: function(selectedDateFormatted){
var selectedDate = $("#embeded_calendar").datepicker('getDate');
deactivateDates(selectedDate);
}
});
var excludedDates = [ "10-20-2017","10-21-2016", "11-21-2016"];
deactivateDates(new Date());
function deactivateDates(selectedDate){
setTimeout(function(){
var thisMonthExcludedDates = thisMonthDates(selectedDate);
thisMonthExcludedDates = getDaysfromDate(thisMonthExcludedDates);
var excludedTDs = page.find('td[data-handler="selectDay"]').filter(function(){
return $.inArray( $(this).text(), thisMonthExcludedDates) >= 0
});
excludedTDs.unbind('click').addClass('ui-datepicker-unselectable');
}, 10);
}
function thisMonthDates(date){
return $.grep( excludedDates, function( n){
var dateParts = n.split("-");
return dateParts[0] == date.getMonth() + 1 && dateParts[2] == date.getYear() + 1900;
});
}
function getDaysfromDate(datesArray){
return $.map( datesArray, function( n){
return n.split("-")[1];
});
}
If you want to disable particular date(s) in jquery datepicker then here is the simple demo for you.
<script type="text/javascript">
var arrDisabledDates = {};
arrDisabledDates[new Date("08/28/2017")] = new Date("08/28/2017");
arrDisabledDates[new Date("12/23/2017")] = new Date("12/23/2017");
$(".datepicker").datepicker({
dateFormat: "dd/mm/yy",
beforeShowDay: function (date) {
var day = date.getDay(),
bDisable = arrDisabledDates[date];
if (bDisable)
return [false, "", ""]
}
});
</script>
For DD-MM-YY use this code:
var array = ["03-03-2017', '03-10-2017', '03-25-2017"]
$('#datepicker').datepicker({
beforeShowDay: function(date){
var string = jQuery.datepicker.formatDate('dd-mm-yy', date);
return [ array.indexOf(string) == -1 ]
}
});
function highlightDays(date) {
for (var i = 0; i < dates.length; i++) {
if (new Date(dates[i]).toString() == date.toString()) {
return [true, 'highlight'];
}
}
return [true, ''];
}
