Data Binding in Blazor DateRangePicker Component

15 Dec 20222 minutes to read

This section briefly explains how to bind the value to the DateRangePicker component in the below different ways.

• One-Way Data Binding
• Two-Way Data Binding
• Dynamic Value Binding

One-way binding

You can bind the value to the DateRangePicker component directly for StartDate and EndDate properties as mentioned in the following code example. In one-way binding, You need to pass property or variable name along with @ (For Ex: “@StartValue”).

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Calendars

<SfDateRangePicker TValue="DateTime?" StartDate="@StartValue" EndDate="@EndValue"></SfDateRangePicker>

<button @onclick="@UpdateValue">Update Value</button>

@code {

    public DateTime? StartValue { get; set; } = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.Month, 28);

    public DateTime? EndValue { get; set; } = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.Month + 1, 28);

    public void UpdateValue()
    {
        StartValue = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year + 1, DateTime.Now.Month, 28);
        EndValue = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year + 1, DateTime.Now.Month + 1, 28);
    }
}

Two-way data binding

Two-way binding can be achieved by using the bind-StartDate and bind-EndDate attributes and it supports string, int, Enum, DateTime, bool types. If the component value has been changed, it will affect all places where the variable is bound for the bind-StartDate and bind-EndDateattributes.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Calendars

<p>DateRangePickers StarteDate and EndDate is: <strong>@StartValue</strong> and <strong>@EndValue</strong></p>

<SfDateRangePicker TValue="DateTime?" @bind-StartDate="@StartValue" EndDate="@EndValue" ></SfDateRangePicker>

@code {

public DateTime? StartValue { get; set; } = DateTime.Now;

public DateTime? EndValue { get; set; } = DateTime.Now;
}

Dynamic value binding

You can change the property value dynamically by manually calling the StateHasChanged() method inside public event of Blazor DateRangePicker component only. This method notifies the component that its state has changed and queues a re-render.

There is no need to call this method for native events since it’s called after any lifecycle method has been called and can also be invoked manually to trigger a re-render. Refer the below mentioned code example.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Calendars

<p>DateRangePicker StarteDate and EndDate is: <strong> @StartValue </strong> and <strong> @EndValue </strong></p>

<SfDateRangePicker TValue="DateTime?" StartDate="@StartValue" EndDate="@EndValue">
<DateRangePickerEvents TValue="DateTime?" ValueChange="@onChange"></DateRangePickerEvents>
</SfDateRangePicker>

@code {

public DateTime? StartValue { get; set; } = DateTime.Now;

public DateTime? EndValue { get; set; } = DateTime.Now;

private void onChange(RangePickerEventArgs<DateTime?> args)
{
    StartValue = args.StartDate;
    EndValue = args.EndDate;
    StateHasChanged();
}
}
