Question 1

How to install ion2-calendar in Ionic 4?

Accepted Answer

Run 'npm install ion2-calendar moment --save', then import CalendarModule in your Angular module and configure it with forRoot() as shown in the README's usage section. Ensure your Ionic version is compatible with the library's support range.

Question 2

ion2-calendar vs native HTML date input for Ionic apps?

Accepted Answer

ion2-calendar provides a more customizable, Material Design-styled date picker with features like range and multi-selection, but it requires additional setup and dependencies. Native HTML inputs are simpler but lack Ionic-specific integration and advanced options.

Question 3

Can ion2-calendar be used with Ionic 5?

Accepted Answer

No, the README explicitly states support only for Ionic versions 2, 3, and 4. For Ionic 5 or later, you might need to look for alternative date picker libraries or fork and update this project yourself.

Question 4

How to change the language in ion2-calendar?

Accepted Answer

Use the localization options like weekdays array and monthFormat in CalendarModalOptions, and set the Angular LOCALE_ID provider as described in the README's localization example. This allows customization of month names and weekdays.

Question 5

Does ion2-calendar support time pickers?

Accepted Answer

No, the component is focused solely on date selection; the features and API tables mention only date-related properties without any time picker functionality, so you'd need a separate solution for time inputs.

Question 6

How to disable weekends in ion2-calendar?

Accepted Answer

Set the disableWeeks option to [0, 6] in the CalendarModalOptions or CalendarComponentOptions, as shown in the 'Disable weeks' example, to disable Sundays and Saturdays effectively.
