# Upgrading to 0.3.x
weekStart
has been removed. This directive uses the locale aware
[moment.js day of week](http://momentjs.com/docs/#/get-set/weekday/) to
determine which day is the first day of the week. If you would like a first
day of week that is not standard for the locale you can create a
[custom locale](http://momentjs.com/docs/#/customization/)
## Easier to control width
The width of the entire control is set in css, which you can easily override.
## Better localization support
This directive uses localized date formats when available. One exception is the title
of the month view - moment does not (yet) have a localized format for month and year.
# (Almost) Complete re-write
This project started as an AngularJS specific re-write of the [bootstrap-datetimepicker project](https://github.com/smalot/bootstrap-datetimepicker).
Only the CSS file from the bootstrap-datetimepicker project was re-used.
#Dependencies
Requires:
* AngularJS 1.2.26 or higher (1.0.x will not work)
* moment.js 2.8.3 or higher for date parsing and formatting
* bootstrap's glyphicons for arrows (Can be overridden in css)
optional:
* bootstrap's dropdown component (`dropdowns.less`)
#Testing
We use karma and jshint to ensure the quality of the code. The easiest way to run these checks is to use grunt:
```
npm install -g grunt-cli
npm install
```
The karma task will try to open Chrome as a browser in which to run the tests. Make sure this is available or change the configuration in test\test.config.js
#Usage
We use bower for dependency management. Add
```json
dependencies: {
"angular-bootstrap-datetimepicker": "latest"
}
```
To your bower.json file. Then run
```html
bower install
```
This will copy the angular-bootstrap-datetimepicker files into your components folder, along with its dependencies.
Add the css:
```html
```
Load the script files in your application:
```html
```
Add the date module as a dependency to your application module:
```html
var myAppModule = angular.module('MyApp', ['ui.bootstrap.datetimepicker'])
```
Apply the directive to your form elements:
```html
minuteStep
minutes.
### dropdownSelector
When used within a Bootstrap dropdown and jQuery, the selector specified in dropdownSelector will toggle the dropdown when a date/time is selected.
**NOTE:** dropdownSelector **requires** jquery and bootstrap.js. If do not have these available do not specify this option. If you do, an error will
be logged and this option will be removed.
## Working with ng-model
The angular-bootstrap-datetimepicker directive requires ng-model and the picked date/time is automatically synchronized with the model value.
This directive also plays nicely with validation directives such as ng-required.
The angular-bootstrap-datetimepicker directive stores and expects the model value to be a standard javascript Date object.
## ng-required directive
If you apply the required directive to element then the form element is invalid until a date is picked.
Note: Remember that the ng-required directive must be explicitly set, i.e. to "true".
## Examples
### Inline component.
```html
Selected Date: {{ data.date | date:'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm' }}
``` Display formatting of the date field is controlled by Angular filters. ### As a drop-down: ```html ``` In this example, the drop-down functionality is controlled by Twitter Bootstrap. ThedropdownSelector
tells the datetimepicker which element is bound to the Twitter Bootstrap drop-down so
the drop-down is toggled closed after the user selectes a date/time.
### Drop-down component with associated input box.
```html
```
In this example, the drop-down functionality is controlled by Twitter Bootstrap.
The dropdownSelector
tells the datetimepicker which element is bound to the Twitter Bootstrap drop-down so
the drop-down is toggled closed after the user selectes a date/time.
## I18N
All internationalization is handled by Moment.js, see Moment's documention for details.
