jQWidgets jqxDateTimeInput getRange() Method

Last Updated : 24 Sep, 2021

jQWidgets is a JavaScript framework for making web-based applications for PC and mobile devices. It is a very powerful, optimized, platform-independent, and widely supported framework. The jqxDateTimeInput widget is a jQuery datetimeinput that is used for selecting the date or time using a displayed calendar or by using the keyboard.

The getRange() method is used to get the selected range date when the selectionMode property is set to ‘range’. It accepts single parameter date of Date/String type and it returns the object containing object.from and object.to date objects.

Syntax:

$('Selector').jqxDateTimeInput('getRange');
