Date widget

Date an input element for setting the element’s value to a string representing a date.

Usage

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\Form;

use Yii\Extension\Model\FormModel;

final class TestForm extends FormModel
{
    public string $dateOfBirth = '';
}

Widget view:

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

use Yii\Extension\Form\Date;
use Yii\Extension\Form\Form;
use Yii\Extension\Form\SubmitButton;
use Yii\Extension\Model\Contract\FormModelContract;

/**
 * @var FormModelContract $data
 * @var object $csrf
 */
?>

<?= Form::widget()->action('widgets')->csrf($csrf)->begin() ?>
    <?= Date::widget()->for($data, 'dateOfBirth') ?>
    <hr class="mt-3">
    <?= SubmitButton::widget()->class('button is-block is-info is-fullwidth')->value('Save') ?>
<?= Form::end() ?>

That would generate the following code:

<form action="widgets" method="POST" _csrf="-6rn3MlbGj1vvxDof0sbRjowkrdEAkIbjCzsLYUp77WU5pWe-wxdfBvWZ9oaeCwiWHHc3xJ1KS-7a9xB7ECl-Q==">
    <input type="hidden" name="_csrf" value="-6rn3MlbGj1vvxDof0sbRjowkrdEAkIbjCzsLYUp77WU5pWe-wxdfBvWZ9oaeCwiWHHc3xJ1KS-7a9xB7ECl-Q==">
    <input type="date" id="testform-dateofbirth" name="TestForm[dateOfBirth]">
    <hr class="mt-3">
    <div>
        <input type="submit" id="submit-88924893586001" class="button is-block is-info is-fullwidth" name="submit-88924893586001" value="Save">
    </div>
</form>
