| :--------------------------------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Default value                                  | This value acts as placeholder for the date picker component, if any value is not provided then the default value will be used from the picker. The default value needs to be a `String` with respect to the `format` field. Ex: If format is set to `MM/YYYY` then provide default value as `04/2022`. |
| Format                                         | This value acts as placeholder for the date picker component, if any value is not provided then the default value will be used from the picker. The default value needs to be a `String` with respect to the `format` field. Ex: If format is set to `MM/YYYY` then provide default value as `04/2022`. |
| Enable time selection?                         | Toggle on or off to enable the time selection. You can programmatically determine the value by clicking on **fx** to set the value `{{true}}` or `{{false}}`.                                                                                                                                           |
| Enable date selection?                         | Toggle on or off to enable the date selection. You can programmatically determine the value by clicking on **fx** to set the value `{{true}}` or `{{false}}`.                                                                                                                                           |
| Disabled dates                                 | We can give disabled dates property which will make specific dates disabled and cannot be selected. The default value needs to be an array of `Strings`.                                                                                                                                                |

Example for disabling the 9th of January:

```js
{
  {
    ["09-01"];
  }
}
```

Now user won't be able to select the mentioned date since it will be disabled.

## Validation

### Custom Validation

Add a validation for the date input in the component using the ternary operator.

Example of validation for selecting dates that are after the current date:

```js
{
  {
    moment(components.datepicker1.value, "DD/MM/YYYY").isAfter(moment())
      ? true
      : "Date should be after today";
  }
}
```

</div>

<div style={{paddingTop:'24px'}}>

## General

### Tooltip

A Tooltip is often used to specify extra information about something when the user hovers the mouse pointer over the component.

Under the <b>General</b> accordion, you can set the value in the string format. Now hovering over the component will display the string as the tooltip.
