Register Syncfusion® Blazor Service
Open ~/_Imports.razor and import the Syncfusion.Blazor and Syncfusion.Blazor.Calendars namespaces.
@using Syncfusion.Blazor
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.CalendarsNow, register the Syncfusion® Blazor Service in the ~/Program.cs file of Blazor WebAssembly app.
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.Web;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.WebAssembly.Hosting;
using Syncfusion.Blazor;
var builder = WebAssemblyHostBuilder.CreateDefault(args);
builder.RootComponents.Add<App>("#app");
builder.RootComponents.Add<HeadOutlet>("head::after");
builder.Services.AddScoped(sp => new HttpClient { BaseAddress = new Uri(builder.HostEnvironment.BaseAddress) });
builder.Services.AddSyncfusionBlazor();
await builder.Build().RunAsync();
....Add stylesheet and script resources
The theme stylesheet and script can be accessed from NuGet through Static Web Assets. Include the stylesheet and script references in the <head> section of the ~/index.html file.
<head>
....
<link href="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes/bootstrap5.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script src="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Core/scripts/syncfusion-blazor.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>NOTE
Check out the Blazor Themes topic to discover various methods (Static Web Assets, CDN, and CRG) for referencing themes in Blazor application. Also, check out the Adding Script Reference topic to learn different approaches for adding script references in Blazor application.
Add Blazor DateTimePicker component
Add the Syncfusion® Blazor DateTimePicker component in the ~/Pages/Index.razor file.
<SfDateTimePicker TValue="DateTime?" Placeholder='Select a date and time'></SfDateTimePicker>- Press Ctrl+F5 (Windows) or ⌘+F5 (macOS) to launch the application. This will render the Syncfusion® Blazor DateTimePicker component in default web browser.
Setting the Value, Min and Max
Define the minimum and maximum selectable dates using the Min and Max properties.
<SfDateTimePicker TValue="DateTime?" Value="@DateValue" Min="@MinDate" Max="@MaxDate"></SfDateTimePicker>
@code{
public DateTime? DateValue {get;set;} = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year,DateTime.Now.Month,10);
public DateTime MinDate {get;set;} = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year,DateTime.Now.Month,05);
public DateTime MaxDate {get;set;} = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.Month, 27);
}
