Events

List of available events that are emitted on some action

@update:model-value

This event is emitted when the value is selected. This is a v-model binding event

</template>

<script setup>

  date.value = modelData;
  // do something else with the data
}
</script>

When text-input prop is set to true and enterSubmit is set to true in text-input-options, when enter button is pressed, this event will be emitted

Code Example

vue

<template>
    <VueDatePicker v-model="date" textInput @text-submit="alertDate" />
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue';

const date = ref();

const alertDate = () => {
  alert(date.value);
}
</script>

@open

vue

<template>
    <VueDatePicker v-model="date" @open="alertFn" />
</template>

import { ref } from 'vue';

const date = ref();

const alertFn = () => {
  alert('Menu open');
}
</script>

}
</script>

</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue';

const date = ref();

const alertFn = () => {
  alert('Value cleared');
}
</script>

Info

@focus and @blur events are not native events. Those events are handled internally in the component in order to handle proper focusing

@focus

Emitted when the input is focused

Code Example

vue

<template>
    <VueDatePicker v-model="date" @focus="alertFn" />
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue';

const date = ref();

const alertFn = () => {
  alert('Input focus');
}
</script>

@blur

Emitted when the input is blurred

Code Example

vue

<template>
    <VueDatePicker v-model="date" @blur="alertFn" />
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue';

const date = ref();

const alertFn = () => {
  alert('Input unfocused');
}
</script>

@internal-model-change

Emitted when the internal model-value is changed before selecting this date that will be set to v-model

Will have one param

Date | Date[]: Current state of the internal model-value

Code Example

vue

<template>
    <VueDatePicker v-model="date" @internal-model-change="handleInternal" />
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue';

const date = ref();
/**
 * If you don't use `autoApply` prop
 * with this event you can always get the current selection in the component
 *
 * Note: Value will always be date object
 * or array of date objects if you use `multiDates` or `range`
 * unlike v-model binding
 */
const handleInternal = (date) => {
  // Do something
  alert(`Current selection - ${date}`);
}
</script>

@recalculate-position

Emitted when the menu position is recalculated

Code Example

vue

<template>
    <VueDatePicker v-model="date" @recalculate-position="alertFn" />
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue';

const date = ref();

const alertFn = () => {
  alert('Position recalculated');
}
</script>

@flow-step

Emitted when the flow step is triggered

Will have one param

number: Executed flow step

Points to keep in mind

Current logic will not emit an event on the first flow step
Flow step will keep emitting even tho there are no more steps and just keep incrementing

Both of these will be handled in one of the upcoming releases

Code Example

vue

<template>
    <VueDatePicker v-model="date" :flow="flow" @flow-step="handleFlowStep" />
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue';

const date = ref();
const flow = ref(['month', 'year', 'calendar']);

const handleFlowStep = (step) => {
  // Do something
  if (step === 1) {
    alert(`Select year`);
  }
  if (step === 2) {
    alert('Select date');
  }
}
</script>

@update-month-year

Emitted when the month or year is changed

Will have one param

{ instance: number, month: number, year: number }: The received parameter is an object containing instance (in case of multiple calendars), month and year values.

Code Example

vue

<template>
    <VueDatePicker v-model="date" @update-month-year="handleMonthYear" />
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue';

const date = ref();

// For multiCalendars, instance will be the index of the calendar where the value is changed
const handleMonthYear = ({ instance, month, year }) => {
  // Do something
  if (month === 0) {
    alert('Selected January');
  }
}
</script>

@invalid-select

Emitted when the selected value is not valid

Will have one param

Date | Date[]: The received parameter is an internal model-value

Code Example

vue

<template>
