# Date Cell Editors

Two date cell editors are provided - `agDateCellEditor` for cell values provided as [Date](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date), and `agDateStringCellEditor` for date values provided as [String](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String).

## Enabling Date Cell Editor

Edit any of the cells in the grid below to see the Date Cell Editor.

#### Date Editor

```tsx
"use client";

import React, {
  useCallback,
  useMemo,
  useRef,
  useState,
  StrictMode,
} from "react";
import { createRoot } from "react-dom/client";
import { AgGridReact, AgGridProvider } from "ag-grid-react";
import {
  ClientSideRowModelModule,
  ColDef,
  ColGroupDef,
  DateEditorModule,
  GridApi,
  GridOptions,
  ModuleRegistry,
  ValueFormatterParams,
  enableDevValidations,
} from "ag-grid-community";

if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== "production") {
  // Enable extended validations only for development
  enableDevValidations();
}

const modules = [ClientSideRowModelModule, DateEditorModule];

const data = Array.from(Array(20).keys()).map((val: any, index: number) => ({
  date: new Date(2023, 5, index + 1),
}));

const GridExample = () => {
  const containerStyle = useMemo(() => ({ width: "100%", height: "100%" }), []);
  const gridStyle = useMemo(() => ({ height: "100%", width: "100%" }), []);
  const [rowData, setRowData] = useState<any[]>(data);
  const [columnDefs, setColumnDefs] = useState<ColDef[]>([
    {
      headerName: "Date Editor",
      field: "date",
      valueFormatter: (params: ValueFormatterParams<any, Date>) => {
        if (!params.value) {
          return "";
        }
        const month = params.value.getMonth() + 1;
        const day = params.value.getDate();
        return `${params.value.getFullYear()}-${month < 10 ? "0" + month : month}-${day < 10 ? "0" + day : day}`;
      },
      cellEditor: "agDateCellEditor",
    },
  ]);
  const defaultColDef = useMemo<ColDef>(() => {
    return {
      width: 200,
      editable: true,
    };
  }, []);

  return (
    <AgGridProvider modules={modules}>
      <div style={containerStyle}>
        <div style={gridStyle}>
          <AgGridReact
            rowData={rowData}
            columnDefs={columnDefs}
            defaultColDef={defaultColDef}
          />
        </div>
      </div>
    </AgGridProvider>
  );
};

const root = createRoot(document.getElementById("root")!);
root.render(
  <StrictMode>
    <GridExample />
  </StrictMode>,
);
```

[Live example: Date Editor](https://www.ag-grid.com/archive/36.2.0/examples/provided-cell-editors-date/date-editor/reactFunctionalTs/)

The Date Cell Editor is a simple date editor that uses the standard HTML date input and requires cell values to be of type [Date](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date).

Enabled with `agDateCellEditor` and configured with `IDateCellEditorParams`.

```js
columnDefs: [
    {
        cellEditor: 'agDateCellEditor',
        cellEditorParams: {
            min: '2000-01-01',
            max: '2019-12-31',
        }
        // ...other props
    }
]
```

### API Reference

Properties available on the `IDateCellEditorParams&lt;TData = any, TContext = any&gt;` interface.

| Property | Type | Required | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `min` | `string \| Date` |  |  |  |
| `max` | `string \| Date` |  |  |  |
| `step` | `number` |  |  |  |
| `includeTime` | `boolean` |  |  |  |

## Enabling Date as String Cell Editor

Edit any of the cells in the grid below to see the Date as String Cell Editor.

#### Date as String Editor

```tsx
"use client";

import React, {
  useCallback,
  useMemo,
  useRef,
  useState,
  StrictMode,
} from "react";
import { createRoot } from "react-dom/client";
import { AgGridReact, AgGridProvider } from "ag-grid-react";
import {
  ClientSideRowModelModule,
  ColDef,
  ColGroupDef,
  DateEditorModule,
  GridApi,
  GridOptions,
  ModuleRegistry,
  enableDevValidations,
} from "ag-grid-community";

if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== "production") {
  // Enable extended validations only for development
  enableDevValidations();
}

const modules = [ClientSideRowModelModule, DateEditorModule];

const data = Array.from(Array(20).keys()).map((val: any, index: number) => ({
  dateString: `2023-06-${index < 9 ? "0" + (index + 1) : index + 1}`,
}));

const GridExample = () => {
  const containerStyle = useMemo(() => ({ width: "100%", height: "100%" }), []);
  const gridStyle = useMemo(() => ({ height: "100%", width: "100%" }), []);
  const [rowData, setRowData] = useState<any[]>(data);
  const [columnDefs, setColumnDefs] = useState<ColDef[]>([
    {
      headerName: "Date as String Editor",
      field: "dateString",
      cellEditor: "agDateStringCellEditor",
    },
  ]);
  const defaultColDef = useMemo<ColDef>(() => {
    return {
      width: 200,
      editable: true,
    };
  }, []);

  return (
    <AgGridProvider modules={modules}>
      <div style={containerStyle}>
        <div style={gridStyle}>
          <AgGridReact
            rowData={rowData}
            columnDefs={columnDefs}
            defaultColDef={defaultColDef}
          />
        </div>
      </div>
    </AgGridProvider>
  );
};

const root = createRoot(document.getElementById("root")!);
root.render(
  <StrictMode>
    <GridExample />
  </StrictMode>,
);
```

[Live example: Date as String Editor](https://www.ag-grid.com/archive/36.2.0/examples/provided-cell-editors-date/date-as-string-editor/reactFunctionalTs/)

The Date as String Cell Editor is a simple date editor that uses the standard HTML date input. It's similar to the Date Cell Editor, but works off of cell values with type [String](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String).

The date format is controlled via [Cell Data Types](https://www.ag-grid.com/archive/36.2.0/react-data-grid/cell-data-types/) and the [Date as String Data Type Definition](https://www.ag-grid.com/archive/36.2.0/react-data-grid/cell-data-types/#date-as-string). The default is `'YYYY-MM-DD'` (or `'YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss'` for `dateTimeString`).

Enabled with `agDateStringCellEditor` and configured with `IDateStringCellEditorParams`.

```js
columnDefs: [
    {
        cellEditor: 'agDateStringCellEditor',
        cellEditorParams: {
            min: '2000-01-01',
            max: '2019-12-31',
        }
        // ...other props
    }
]
```
