R: Create date range input

dateRangeInput {shiny} | R Documentation

## Create date range input

### Description

Creates a pair of text inputs which, when clicked on, bring up calendars that the user can click on to select dates.

### Usage

    dateRangeInput(inputId, label, start = NULL, end = NULL, min = NULL,
      max = NULL, format = "yyyy-mm-dd", startview = "month", weekstart = 0,
      language = "en", separator = " to ", width = NULL)

### Arguments

`inputId` | The `input` slot that will be used to access the value.
`label` | Display label for the control, or `NULL` for no label.
`start` | The initial start date. Either a Date object, or a string in `yyyy-mm-dd` format. If NULL (the default), will use the current date in the client's time zone.
`end` | The initial end date. Either a Date object, or a string in `yyyy-mm-dd` format. If NULL (the default), will use the current date in the client's time zone.
`min` | The minimum allowed date. Either a Date object, or a string in `yyyy-mm-dd` format.
`max` | The maximum allowed date. Either a Date object, or a string in `yyyy-mm-dd` format.
`format` | The format of the date to display in the browser. Defaults to `"yyyy-mm-dd"`.
`startview` | The date range shown when the input object is first clicked. Can be "month" (the default), "year", or "decade".
`weekstart` | Which day is the start of the week. Should be an integer from 0 (Sunday) to 6 (Saturday).
`language` | The language used for month and day names. Default is "en". Other valid values include "ar", "az", "bg", "bs", "ca", "cs", "cy", "da", "de", "el", "en-AU", "en-GB", "eo", "es", "et", "eu", "fa", "fi", "fo", "fr-CH", "fr", "gl", "he", "hr", "hu", "hy", "id", "is", "it-CH", "it", "ja", "ka", "kh", "kk", "ko", "kr", "lt", "lv", "me", "mk", "mn", "ms", "nb", "nl-BE", "nl", "no", "pl", "pt-BR", "pt", "ro", "rs-latin", "rs", "ru", "sk", "sl", "sq", "sr-latin", "sr", "sv", "sw", "th", "tr", "uk", "vi", "zh-CN", and "zh-TW".
`separator` | String to display between the start and end input boxes.
`width` | The width of the input, e.g. `'400px'`, or `'100%'`; see `validateCssUnit`.

### Details

- `yy` Year without century (12)

- `yyyy` Year with century (2012)

### Examples

    ## Only run examples in interactive R sessions
    if (interactive()) {

    ui <- fluidPage(
      dateRangeInput("daterange1", "Date range:",
                     start = "2001-01-01",
                     end   = "2010-12-31"),

      # Default start and end is the current date in the client's time zone
      dateRangeInput("daterange2", "Date range:"),

      # start and end are always specified in yyyy-mm-dd, even if the display
      # format is different
      dateRangeInput("daterange3", "Date range:",
                     start  = "2001-01-01",
                     end    = "2010-12-31",
                     min    = "2001-01-01",
                     max    = "2012-12-21",
                     format = "mm/dd/yy",
                     separator = " - "),

      # Pass in Date objects
      dateRangeInput("daterange4", "Date range:",
                     start = Sys.Date()-10,
                     end = Sys.Date()+10),

      # Use different language and different first day of week
      dateRangeInput("daterange5", "Date range:",
                     language = "de",
                     weekstart = 1),

      # Start with decade view instead of default month view
      dateRangeInput("daterange6", "Date range:",
                     startview = "decade")
    )

    shinyApp(ui, server = function(input, output) { })
