how can i prevent choosing sevral dates in html date input?

Question

Am developing a booking website where people choose checkin and checkout, so let's assume that the chosen room is busy from 20 till 30.

my input would be like

<input id="check_in" name="check_in" type="date"   value="" class="form-control" placeholder="Check-in"   required min="30" >

am trying to prevent user from choosing bettween 20 and 30

but all i can do in this html tag is preventing from choosing before 30 .

and also am assuming that the room can be busy from 1 to ,and from 20 to 30, how to let user choose bettween 10 and 20 ?

you'll probably need some JS to check if the selected date is between 20 and 30 (and if so, reject it). This is not possible with pure HTML I think. — Sam Leurs, Jan 08 '20 at 12:09

Either you can use this...

 <input type="date" min="2020-01-01" max="2020-01-19"/>

or if that doesn't works, below is the setup to restrict the date, you can change it dynamically by setting max and min value in javascript.

        $(function () {          

            $("#departure").igDatePicker({
                minValue: new Date(2020, 0, 1),
                maxValue: new Date(2020, 0, 19),
                dateDisplayFormat: "yy/MM/dd dddd"
            });
            
        });
