Primeng: Clear button for Calendar

[anikets43]

Hi @cagataycivici

Is there any option to validate the date format when date is entered manually. Also, is it possible to have a clear button inside the control to clear the input field or any similar behavior.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I support the idea to have clear button, because i didn't find how i can clear value from calendar.

Thank you.

not the best solution, but if you get a reference to the element via ViewChild

you can set the value and use updateInputField() to get the behavior you want...

eg;

@ViewChild('p-calendar') calendar: Calendar;
this.calendar.value = null;
this.calendar.updateInputField();

Please try with the latest PrimeNG version and comment if the issue still persists.

Why was this closed, a clear button was not added to the calendar?

[Mrtcndkn]

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I will discuss it with my colleagues and will get back to you from here about the decision.

This new feature does not appear on the 4.1.1 milestone list. Nor is it on 4.1.2. Can we get an update on when this feature? Thanks!

Set to 4.1.4.

There is a way to call this clear function by an external button using ViewChild... There is any other form?
