<sy-datepicker
  variant="date"
  mode="day"
  placeholder="Select date"
  format="yyyy-MM-dd"
  year="2026"
  month="10"
  day="15"

  aria-label="Select date"
></sy-datepicker>

Usage guide

Use for date and time selection. Choose variant to match the required value.

Write the error message in the error slot.
Inside the component, add <span slot="error">Error message</span>. You can include links and other guidance as well as text. For inputs supporting noNativeValidity, enable it to show this guidance instead of a browser popup. Switch always displays errors below the component.
Report business rule failures with setCustomError().
For example, if the server rejects a duplicate value, update the error slot and call setCustomError(). This method does not take a message argument. A custom error also blocks form submission.
Clear the error after resolving it and check whether submission is allowed.
Use clearCustomError() to clear a business rule error. Required-field and format validation remain active. await checkValidity() returns true or false; reportValidity() validates and displays errors. Read valid named values through FormData on submission.

Date

Use date. Set the day, month, or year selection unit with mode.

Date and time

Use datetime to select both a date and a time.

Range

Use range to collect a start and end date.

Time

Use time to select a time without a date.

Display and form integration: format uses yyyy, MM, dd, hh, mm, and ss. Connect forms with name and required. selected reports confirmed selection; changed reports input changes.

Examples

Date and initial value

October 15, 2026 is shown initially. Change the date using the calendar or text input.

Events and payloads

Interact with the component and inspect the latest event name and detail. The code includes subscriptions to events emitted by this component and its children.

<script type="module">
  const describeResult = value => JSON.stringify(value, (_key, item) => {
    if (item instanceof File) return {
      name: item.name,
      size: item.size,
      type: item.type
    };
    if (item instanceof Element) return `<${item.localName}>`;
    return item;
  }) ?? 'Done';
  for (const name of ["changed", "selected", "closed", "entered", "mode-changed"]) {
    document.addEventListener(name, event => {
      document.querySelector('#demo-events').textContent =
        `${event.target.localName} · ${name}: ${describeResult(event.detail)}`;
    });
  }
</script>

Display a range on the calendar

When using Calendar directly, pass rangestart and rangeend as objects. Calendar components use zero-based months. active identifies the endpoint being edited: start or end.

View code

HTML

<sy-calendar
  year="2026"
  month="9"
  day="15"
  active="start"
  variant="range"
  id="sample"
  style="position:relative"
></sy-calendar>

<script type="module">
  const component1 = document.querySelector("#sample");
  Object.assign(component1, {
    "rangestart": {
      "year": 2026,
      "month": 9,
      "day": 10
    },
    "rangeend": {
      "year": 2026,
      "month": 9,
      "day": 20
    }
  });
</script>

Time separator and confirmation button

When using Timepicker directly, timeSeparator sets the symbol between hours, minutes, and seconds. hideButton hides the confirmation button.

  second="0"

Submission requires a date. Select one, then inspect the submitted value and custom errors.

Read validation results and error states

Validate before submitting or display errors on screen. Check an empty required field, then fill it to see how the return value changes. Querying the state distinguishes custom errors from required-field errors.
