pn.extension()

The DatetimeInput widget allows entering a datetime value as text and parsing it using a pre-defined formatter.

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.

Core#

start (datetime): Lower bound
end (datetime): Upper bound
value (datetime): Parsed datetime value

Display#

disabled (boolean): Whether the widget is editable
format (str): Datetime formatting string that determines how the value is formatted and parsed (default='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
name (str): The title of the widget

The datetime parser uses the defined format to validate the input value, if the entered text is not a valid datetime a warning will be shown in the title as “(invalid)”:

dt_input = pn.widgets.DatetimeInput(name='Datetime Input', value=dt.datetime(2019, 2, 8))

dt_input

DatetimeInput.value returns a datetime object and can be accessed and set like other widgets:

dt_input.value

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

Controls#

The DateTimeInput 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(dt_input.controls(jslink=True), dt_input)
