jQuery UI Datepicker navigationAsDateFormat Option

jQuery UI consists of GUI widgets, visual effects, and themes implemented using jQuery, CSS, and HTML. jQuery UI is great for building UI interfaces for the webpages. The jQuery UI Datepicker navigationAsDateFormat option is used to check whether the currentText, prevText, and nextText options should be parsed as dates by the formatDate function. All these are used to display the target month names.

Syntax:



$( ".selector" ).datepicker({
  navigationAsDateFormat: true
});

CDN Link: First, add jQuery UI scripts needed for your project.

<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css”>
<script src=”//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js”></script>
<script src=”//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js”></script>



Example:




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <link href=
        rel="stylesheet" />
    </script>
    </script>
  
    <script>
        $(function () {
            $("#gfg").datepicker({
                dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd",
                currentText: "Now",
                prevText: "Earlier",
                nextText: "Later",
                navigationAsDateFormat: true
            });
        });
    </script>
</head>
