Angular 16 Bootstrap 5 Datepicker Example Tutorial

Stesp to integrate and use datepicker using bootstrap 5 and ngx-bootstrap/datepicker in the angular 16 projects:

• Step 1: Set Up the Angular Project
• Step 2: Install Bootstrap 5 and ngx-bootstrap/datepicker
• Step 3: Import Required Modules
• Step 4: Implement the Datepicker in the Component
• Step 5: Add Styles
• Step 6: Test the Datepicker
• Step 7: Run the Application

Step 1: Set Up the Angular Project

If you haven’t already set up an Angular 16 project, follow these steps to create a new one.

Install the Angular CLI globally (if you haven’t already):

npm install -g @angular/cli

Execute the following command on command prompt or cmd to create a new Angular project:

ng bootstrap-datepicker-angular

Step 2: Install Bootstrap 5 and ngx-bootstrap/datepicker

Next, Open your command prompt or cmd and type the following commands to navigate to your angular apps directory and install bootstrap 5 and dependencies into your angular 16 projects:

cd bootstrap-datepicker-angular

npm install [email protected] popper.js

npm install [email protected]

npm install ngx-bootstrap/[email protected]

Step 3: Import Required Modules

Now, let’s import the necessary modules in the app.module.ts file.

// app.module.ts
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';
import { BsDatepickerModule } from 'ngx-bootstrap/datepicker';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [AppComponent],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    BrowserAnimationsModule,
    BsDatepickerModule.forRoot() // Add this line to import the BsDatepickerModule
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {}

Step 4: Implement the Datepicker in the Component

Now, you need to implement the datepicker in a component. So, open command prompt or cmd and execute the following command into it to create a new component using the Angular CLI:

ng generate component date-picker

Then Open the date-picker.component.ts file and define a variable for the date value:

// date-picker.component.ts
import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-date-picker',
  templateUrl: './date-picker.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./date-picker.component.css']
})
export class DatePickerComponent {
  selectedDate: Date; // Variable to store the selected date
}

Next, Open the date-picker.component.html file and add the datepicker input:

<!-- date-picker.component.html -->
<div class="container mt-4">
  <h3>Select a Date - Tutsmake.com</h3>
  <input
    type="text"
    class="form-control"
    bsDatepicker
    [(bsValue)]="selectedDate"
    [bsConfig]="{ dateInputFormat: 'MM/DD/YYYY' }"
  />
</div>

Step 5: Add Styles

To add Bootstrap styles, you need to import the Bootstrap CSS file. Open the angular.json file and add the Bootstrap CSS to the styles array:

"styles": [
  "node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css",
  "src/styles.css"
],

Step 6: Test the Datepicker

Finally, let’s test the datepicker by adding the component to the app.component.html file.

<!-- app.component.html -->
<div class="container mt-4">
  <app-date-picker></app-date-picker>
</div>

Step 7: Run the Application

In this step, execute the following command on the command prompt or cmd to start the angular app:

ng serve

Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:4200/. You should see the Bootstrap 5 datepicker in action, allowing you to select dates from the calendar popup.

Conclusion

That’s it; You have successfully learned how to integrate and use datepicker using bootstrap 5 in angular 16 projects.
