In this article, we will learn to use a multi-mode date and time picker plugin for Bootstrap (3&4), jQueryMobile, and Bulma. The jQuery datebox plugin is completely based on JavaScript, HTML, and CSS technologies.

Some key features of the plugin are as follows 

  • It can limit any condition like date, time, and duration.
  • Many callbacks and triggers are available on create, open, close, change, destroy events.
  • The tool provides features like slidable columns or weeks.

Please download the required pre-compiled files from the link and save it in your working folder for implementation. 

HTML head section of code: The following HTML code snippet holds the head section which has all the common pre-compiled files required for all the following examples to execute.

Note: Please include all the following library links in your codes with proper file paths.

Output: 

The following is the output shown in the console to demonstrate the working of callback functions.

Example 2: The following code demonstrates for Bulma. Do not forget to include Bulma pre-compiled files in your Bulma codes as shown below.

            </div>
        </div>
        </form>   
    </div>
</html>


Output: The following is the output when the mode selected by the developer is “datebox”
 

The following is the output when the mode selected by the developer is “slidebox”.
 

Note: The developer can try different modes and implement various callback functions and other JavaScript options as per the application’s requirement. Only a few options are shown for the demonstration.

Example 3: The following code demonstrates the date and time picker for jQuery mobile codes. Do not forget to include jQuery mobile pre-compiled files in your codes for mobile designs as shown below. Callback functions can be implemented the same as shown in the first example as required.
