dateInput {shiny} | R Documentation

## Create date input

### Description

Creates a text input which, when clicked on, brings up a calendar that the user can click on to select dates.

### Usage

    dateInput(inputId, label, value = NULL, min = NULL, max = NULL,
      format = "yyyy-mm-dd", startview = "month", weekstart = 0,
      language = "en", 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.
`value` | The starting 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".
`width` | The width of the input, e.g. `'400px'`, or `'100%'`; see `validateCssUnit`.

- `yy` Year without century (12)

- `yyyy` Year with century (2012)

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

    ui <- fluidPage(
      dateInput("date1", "Date:", value = "2012-02-29"),

      # Default value is the date in client's time zone
      dateInput("date2", "Date:"),

      # value is always yyyy-mm-dd, even if the display format is different
      dateInput("date3", "Date:", value = "2012-02-29", format = "mm/dd/yy"),

      # Pass in a Date object
      dateInput("date4", "Date:", value = Sys.Date()-10),

      # Use different language and different first day of week
      dateInput("date5", "Date:",
              language = "ru",
              weekstart = 1),

      # Start with decade view instead of default month view
      dateInput("date6", "Date:",
                startview = "decade")
    )

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