public class DateItem extends FormItem
FormItem for editing logical-Date values, where times are ignored. The item renders
with one of two appearances, depending on the value of useTextField - when set to true, dates are edited
directly in a text field, and formatted according
to your locale and settings such as dateFormatter.
When set to false, the default appearance, the item uses separate selectors for year, month and day values. To control which selectors are visible and
in what order, use selectorFormat. In this
mode, the selectable dates may be limited by the item's start and end dates. See those two settings for more information.
In either mode, a popup picker is provided assuming that the pickerIcon is visible.
As noted, this item is
for editing logical-Date values. To edit logical-Time values, see TimeItem, and to edit datetime values, see DateTimeItem. For relative-date features, see RelativeDateItem.
For detailed information on working with dates, times and
datetimes, see the Date and Time Format and Storage overview.

certain features to be disabled. Input masks, the picker icon, and a custom dateFormatter are not supported. In-field hints are currently supported, but future

and log a warning if passed something other than a valid date value.
If the dateItem is showing a free-form text
entry field,
and a user enters a text value which cannot be parsed into a valid date, the item will
automatically redraw and display the invalidDateStringMessage (though at this
point calling FormItem.getValue() will return the

When set to false, a user may enter a value that is not a valid date (for example, "Not applicable") and the value will not immediately be flagged as an error. However note that for the value to actually pass validation you would need to declare the field as not of "date" type, for example:
{name:"startDate", type:"dateOrOther", editorType:"DateItem", useTextField:true },
The type "dateOrOther" could be declared as a SimpleType, with validators that
will accept either a valid date or certain special Strings (like "Not Available").
Only applies to dateItems where useTextField is

The HTML5 placeholder attribute is supported in the following major browsers:
WebView (used by the stock Browser app and when
packaging with PhoneGap)In browsers other than the above, in-field hints are implemented via a different technique.
Note that placeholder behavior is known to differ in Internet Explorer and certain old
versions of the above browsers due to a recent change in the HTML5 specification regarding
the placeholder attribute. Under the old rules, the placeholder is cleared
when the element is focused. In the latest HTML5 spec as published by WHATWG, the placeholder
is still displayed when the element is focused as long as the value is an empty string.
| Browser | Pseudo-class or pseudo-element |
|---|---|
| Chrome, Safari | ::-webkit-input-placeholder |
| Firefox 4 - 18 | :-moz-placeholder |
| Firefox 19+ | ::-moz-placeholder |
| Internet Explorer | :-ms-input-placeholder |
Note that unlike other browsers, Firefox 19+ applies opacity:0.4 to the placeholder text. See Bug 556145 - Placeholder text default style should use opacity instead of GrayText
Because browsers are required to ignore the entire rule if a selector is invalid, separate rules are needed for each browser. For example:
::-webkit-input-placeholder {
color: blue;
opacity: 1;
}
:-moz-placeholder {
color: blue;
opacity: 1;
}
::-moz-placeholder {
color: blue;
opacity: 1;
}
:-ms-input-placeholder {

opacity: 1;
}
If using Sass, it may be useful to utilize Sass' parent selector feature. For example:
.myCustomItem,
.myCustomItemRTL,
.myCustomItemDisabled,
.myCustomItemDisabledRTL,
.myCustomItemError,
.myCustomItemErrorRTL,
.myCustomItemFocused,

If using Compass, the

that was added in version 1.0 can further simplify the code to style the placeholder text
For example:

If using Compass, the
input-placeholder mixin
that was added in version 1.0 can further simplify the code to style the placeholder text
For example:

.myCustomItemRTL,
.myCustomItemDisabled,
.myCustomItemDisabledRTL,
.myCustomItemError,
.myCustomItemErrorRTL,
.myCustomItemFocused,
.myCustomItemFocusedRTL,

single text
field for working with the item's value. When false or unset, the default, the item's value is represented by
separate day, month, and/or year selectors. In this mode, null values are not
supported, and a default value of Today will be enforced if no defaultValue is specified. This means that a DateItem
with useTextField set to false is effectively a required field.
If you want to change the appearance
of a DateItem, you will need to configure some autoChildren such as textField via textFieldProperties, or in
useTextField:false mode, the daySelector and other selectors, configured via daySelectorProperties et al.

public DateItem setWrapHintText(java.lang.Boolean wrapHintText)
FormItem.hint, should the
hint text be allowed to wrap? Setting this property to false will render the hint on a single line without
wrapping, expanding the width required to render the item if necessary. If unset this property will be picked up
from the DynamicForm.wrapHintText setting.
This
setting does not apply to hints that are shown in field.

Note: This method is intended for setting default attributes only and will affect all instances of the underlying class (including those automatically generated in JavaScript). This method should not be used to apply standard EventHandlers or override methods for a class - use a custom subclass instead. Calling this method after instances have been created can result in undefined behavior, since it bypasses any setters and a class instance may have already examined a particular property and not be expecting any changes through this route.

FormItemValueFormatter to map this item's current data
value to a display value. Only applies if setUseTextField(java.lang.Boolean) is true.
Notes
#setDateFormatter() already provides support for most standard "short date" formats, so
a completely custom formatter method is often not required.DateUtil class.#setInputFormat() or
supply a custom #setEditorValueParser()
When writing custom date formatting and parsing logic, developers may find the
DateTimeFormat class helpful.
setEditorValueFormatter in class FormItemformatter - the FormItemValueFormatterpublic void setEditorValueParser(FormItemValueParser valueParser)
FormItemValueParser to map a user-entered display value to a data
value for storage. Only applies if #setUseTextField() is set to true.
A custom parser function will typically only be required if
a custom formatter is specified via setEditorValueFormatter(FormItemValueFormatter). Even then,
you may be able to simply specify an inputFormat that matches the custom display
format for this item.
System-wide custom date parsing and formatting may be achieved via methods on the DateUtil class.
