DatePicker is a single date or date-time text input with format-aware masking.

Contract

Property Type Notes
label str Input label.
value str Current date value. Supports literal, store binding, and data-model binding.
min_date str Optional minimum accepted value.
max_date str Optional maximum accepted value.
max_width int | None Optional width constraint.
format str Default yyyy-MM-dd. Also supports tokens used by the renderer, such as HH and mm.
action / params str or action object / dict Optional action emitted on change. Action objects can include confirm.

Value collected by actions: str.

Action Confirmation

Use an action object with confirm to require confirmation before the date change action is dispatched. If the user cancels the dialog, no backend action is sent and the input keeps its previous value.

The component test page exposes a date picker action counter and the last received payload so dispatch can be checked directly after confirming.

field = sdk.ui.DatePicker(
    "confirm_python_datepicker",
    label=sdk.i18n.t("components.datepicker.confirm.python_label"),
    value="2026-04-29",
    min_date="2026-01-01",
    max_date="2026-12-31",
)
field.set_prop(
    "action",
    {
        "name": "components.datepicker_confirm_action",
        "context": {"source": "python_datepicker"},
        "confirm": {
            "text": sdk.i18n.t("components.datepicker.confirm.prompt"),
            "confirm_text": sdk.i18n.t("components.datepicker.confirm.accept"),
            "cancel_text": sdk.i18n.t("components.datepicker.confirm.cancel"),
        },
    },
)

Example

field = sdk.ui.DatePicker(
    "components_test_forms_datepicker_store",
    label="DatePicker",
    value=bound.store("/components_test/forms/datepicker/store", scope="page", default="2026-04-24"),
    min_date="2026-01-01",
    max_date="2026-12-31",
)

Runtime

Use collect_input_ids to read the current formatted string. Use value.set, stateUpdate, or dataModelUpdate to change the value from an action.
