Topic: Date value is not shown when used html date type

sohamlite priority asked 9 months ago


Date value should be shown in control when value is set in reactive form.

Date value is shown only after clicking the control.

IN HTML FILE Transaction Date

IN TS FILE let strDate = this.datePipe.transform(this.trackRecord.transactionDate, "yyyy-MM-dd"); this.validationForm.controls["transactionDate"].setValue(strDate);

Screen Snap

Could you provide a sample code how is your html and ts file structured. When do you set the value?

 <mdb-form-control>

Transaction Date

enter code here

We have sent sample code that is not showing hence sending screen snap. We are setting value on when edit button is clicked. enter image description here

We are not using mdb-datepicker as it is not transforming the text into date format when user is typing the date instead of choosing from control.

In our recent updates we have introduced a change to input of type "date". Namely we set color style to "transparent" on ontouched input to prevent interference of native html placeholder with our MDB custom label. To fix that you should grab input element and set the desired color after updating the control. Below I present a sample approach:

  const inputEl = document.getElementById('form1');
  this.basicFirstName.setValue(this.datePipeString);
  inputEl.style.color = '#4f4f4f';

Let me know if that solves your problem for now. We will have to look into that in the future to handle such case if input has been updated programmatically.

Yes! It's working. I have done following changes.

@ViewChild("tranDate") tranDate: ElementRef;

let strDate = this.datePipe.transform(this.trackRecord.transactionDate, "yyyy-MM-dd");
this.validationForm.controls["transactionDate"].setValue(strDate);
this.tranDate.nativeElement.style.color = "#4f4f4f";

  <mdb-form-control>
    <input #tranDate
           mdbValidate
           mdbInput
           type="date"
           class="form-control"
           id="transactionDate"
           formControlName="transactionDate" />
    <label mdbLabel for="transactionDate" class="form-label">Transaction Date</label>
    <mdb-error *ngIf="transactionDate?.invalid && (transactionDate?.dirty || transactionDate?.touched)"></mdb-error>
    <mdb-success *ngIf="transactionDate?.valid && (transactionDate?.dirty || transactionDate?.touched)"></mdb-success>
  </mdb-form-control>
