Hi,
I’m facing two challenges that I don’t know how to solve.
Challenge 1:
I need the user to be able to select a full week in the year BUT the “offered weeks” needs to start on a Sunday and end on the following Saturday (e.g. from 2020-01-05 to 2020-01-11). I would like to save both the start and the end dates of the chosen week in the database.
Challenge 2:
Similarly to the above, I need the user to be able to select any month in the year. The “offered months” needs to start on Day 1 of the month and need to end on month end (e.g. 2020-02-01 to 2020-02-29) . Once again, I need to save the start and end dates of the chosen months.
I focused on the first, assuming that a solution for the second will follow the same or very similar pattern, and tried these alternatives:
-
Use an Input field of type Week. I hit two problems: the week starts on a Monday, not on a Sunday and the saved value looks like 2020-W02. I could not figure out how to extract the start and end dates from this.
-
Use a Date Range Picker. Although this widget seems to have a good way to segregate start and end date on the server side (I think Teodor wrote an excellent article for it), I can’t seem to be able to force the selection of full weeks that start on a Sunday.
-
Two input types of type Date. Call them StartDate and EndDate. If only I could force StartDate to accept only Sundays, I can easily force EndDate be 6 days later. But I don’t know how to do that.
Unfortunately, none of them got me to the end line, so any guidance on how to attack these challenges would be really appreciated!
