The DateSlider widget allows selecting selecting a date value within a set bounds using a slider.

For more information about listening to widget events and laying out widgets refer to the widgets user guide. Alternatively you can learn how to build GUIs by declaring parameters independently of any specific widgets in the param user guide. To express interactivity entirely using Javascript without the need for a Python server take a look at the links user guide.

Parameters:#

For layout and styling related parameters see the customization user guide.

date_slider

DateSlider.value returns a datetime type that can be read out or set like other widgets:

date_slider.value

datetime.datetime(2019, 2, 8, 0, 0)

Controls#

The DateSlider widget exposes a number of options which can be changed from both Python and Javascript. Try out the effect of these parameters interactively:

pn.Row(date_slider.controls(jslink=True), date_slider)
