I am learning .NET MVC, I am having a bit of difficult on adding a Date Picker on my Views.
What I am trying to do is that I want to create my Model called Person.cs:
public class Person
{
public int Id { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage = "First name is required")]
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
[DisplayFormat(ApplyFormatInEditMode = true, DataFormatString = "{0:dd/MM/yyyy}")]
public DateTime? DateOfBirth { get; set; }
}
_Layout.cshtml
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>@ViewBag.Title - My ASP.NET Application</title>
@using System.Web.Optimization
@Styles.Render("~/Content/css")
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/modernizr")
</head>
<body>
<div class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top">
<div class="container">
<div class="navbar-header">
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse">
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>
@Html.ActionLink("Application name", "Index", "Home", new { area = "" }, new { @class = "navbar-brand" })
</div>
<div class="navbar-collapse collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li>@Html.ActionLink("List", "ListPerson", "Person")</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="container body-content">
@RenderBody()
<hr />
<footer>
<p>© @DateTime.Now.Year - My ASP.NET Application</p>
</footer>
</div>
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval")
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/bootstrap")
@RenderSection("scripts", required: false)
</body>
</html>
BundleConfig.cs
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Optimization;
namespace WebApplication1.App_Start
{
public class BundleConfig
{
// For more information on bundling, visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=301862
public static void RegisterBundles(BundleCollection bundles)
{
bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/jquery").Include(
"~/Scripts/jquery-{version}.js"));
bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/jqueryval").Include(
"~/Scripts/jquery.validate*"));
// Use the development version of Modernizr to develop with and learn from. Then, when you're
// ready for production, use the build tool at http://modernizr.com to pick only the tests you need.
bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/modernizr").Include(
"~/Scripts/modernizr-*"));
bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/bootstrap").Include(
"~/Scripts/bootstrap.js",
"~/Scripts/respond.js"));
bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/Content/css").Include(
"~/Content/bootstrap.css",
"~/Content/site.css"));
}
}
}
I am creating a View called Create.chstml, which it consist to create a new user.
@model WebApplication1.Models.Person
@{
ViewBag.Title = "Create";
}
<h2>Create</h2>
@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
@Html.AntiForgeryToken()
<div class="form-horizontal">
<h4>Person</h4>
<hr />
@Html.ValidationSummary(true, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
<div class="form-group">
@Html.LabelFor(model => model.FirstName, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.FirstName, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.FirstName, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
@Html.LabelFor(model => model.LastName, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.LastName, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.LastName, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
@Html.LabelFor(model => model.DateOfBirth, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.DateOfBirth, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "datepicker form-control" } })
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.DateOfBirth, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-10">
<input type="submit" value="Create" class="btn btn-default" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
}
<div>
@Html.ActionLink("Back to List", "ListPerson")
</div>
<link href="~/Content/themes/base/jquery-ui.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
@section Scripts {
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery-ui-1.12.1.min.js"></script>
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval")
<script>
$(function() {
$(".datepicker").datepicker(
{
dateFormat: "yy/mm/dd",
changeMonth: true,
changeYear : true
});
});
</script>
}
Is there any simplest way to indicate on that it must popup a date-picker?
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.DateOfBirth, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control datepicker" } })
I have installed on the packet-nugget the JQuery.UI.Combined
Making some research I found this link: https://jqueryui.com/datepicker/
<script>
$( function() {
$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker();
} );
</script>
<p>Date: <input type="text" id="datepicker"></p>
Actually I don't know how to implement on my code.
I am trying to follow this link also:
