Upgrade guide

from 2.* to 3.* we have some new settings. You can see in definitions file, we hava the sections ios and android. You must change your format configs to ios and android configs.

Very important!!

To maintain the consistency of the community plugins, we changed the name of the variable the plugin is in. As we are experiencing a change across the capacitor plugins import ecosystem, we think this is a good opportunity to do that

Before, to use the plugin, you needed to import like this

import '@capacitor-community/date-picker';
import { Plugins } from '@capacitor/core';
const { DatePickerPlugin } = Plugins;

Now, we not have the Plugins variable and we not register the DatePickerPlugin in Capacitor.Plugins To use this plugin.

Now, to use this plugin, you need to do this

import { DatePicker } from '@capacitor-community/date-picker';

You need to replace all of your code

You must also follow the guide for android.

Date Format

For format, we defined the old config deprecated because we have a inconsistence between Android and iOS platforms

now you need define your forma config in android.format and ios.format

iOS

For format in iOS, you need to follow this documentation

Android

For format in Android, you need to follow this documentation

Android Theme

You can define your personalized themes in android via resources styles check example app

How you see in example, just define your picker theme in global assets your app and send via android.theme prop in your capacitor.config file or your options.android.theme in present call.

Demo

Usage

import { DatePicker } from '@capacitor-community/date-picker';
import type { DatePickerTheme } from '@capacitor-community/date-picker/src';
const selectedTheme: DatePickerTheme = 'light';

DatePicker.present({
  mode: 'date',
  locale: 'pt_BR',
  date: '13/07/2019',
  theme: selectedTheme,
  ios: {
    format: 'dd/MM/yyyy',
  },
  android: {
    format: 'dd/MM/yyyy',
  },
}).then(date => alert(date.value));

Capacitor Config

{
  //...
  "plugins": {
    "DatePickerPlugin": {
      "mode": "date",
      "locale": "pt_BR",
      "current": "13/07/2019",
      "format": "dd/MM/yyyy",
      "android": {
        "theme": "MyCustomeTheme"
      },
      "ios": {
        "style": "wheels"
      }
    }
  }
}

iOS setup

• ionic start my-cap-app --capacitor
• cd my-cap-app
• npm install --save @capacitor-community/date-picker
• mkdir www && touch www/index.html
• sudo gem install cocoapods (only once)
• npx cap add ios
• npx cap sync ios (every time you run npm install)
• npx cap open ios

Tip: every time you change a native code you may need to clean up the cache (Product > Clean build folder) and then run the app again.

Android setup

• ionic start my-cap-app --capacitor
• cd my-cap-app
• npm install --save @capacitor-community/date-picker
• mkdir www && touch www/index.html

• npx cap open android

Now you should be set to go. Try to run your client using ionic cap run android --livereload --address=0.0.0.0.

Tip: every time you change a native code you may need to clean up the cache (Build > Clean Project | Build > Rebuild Project) and then run the app again.
