Today, i would like to share with you how to use bootstrap datepicker in angular 9/8. i will give you simple example of angular 9/8 bootstrap 4 datepicker. you can easily use bootstrap 4 datepicker in angular 9/8. we will use ngx-bootstrap for datepicker in angular 9/8.

Ng Bootstrap is developed from bootstrap and they provide all bootstrap 3 and bootstrap 4 native Angular directives like model, pagination, datepicker, buttons etc. Ng Bootstrap will help to easily use bootstrap ui.

So, let's follow this tutorial step by step.

Step 1: Create New App

You can easily create your angular app using bellow command:

ng new my-new-app

Step 2: Install Bootstrap 4

In this step, we will install bootstrap core package. so we can use bootstrap css so let's install by following command:

npm install bootstrap --save

Now, we need to include bootstrap css like "node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css", so let's add it on angular.json file.

angular.json

.....
    "styles": [
      "node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css",
      "src/styles.css"
    ],
.....

Step 3: Install Ng Bootstrap

In this step, we will install Ng Bootstrap package. so we can use bootstrap ui so let's install by following command:

npm install --save @ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap

Step 4: Import Module

In this step, we need to import NgbModule and FormsModule to app.module.ts file. so let's import it as like bellow:

src/app/app.module.ts

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
  
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { NgbModule } from '@ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap';
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
  
@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule, 
    NgbModule,
    FormsModule
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

Step 5: Updated View File

Now here, we will updated our html file. we will create simple bootstrap input fields for datepicker.

so let's put bellow code:

src/app/app.component.html

<h1>Angular 8 Bootstrap 4 Datepicker Example - ItSolutionStuff.com</h1>
  
<form class="form-inline">
  <div class="form-group">
    <div class="input-group">
      <input class="form-control" placeholder="yyyy-mm-dd"
             name="dp" [(ngModel)]="model" ngbDatepicker #d="ngbDatepicker">
      <div class="input-group-append">
        <button class="btn btn-outline-secondary calendar" (click)="d.toggle()" type="button"></button>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</form>
   
<hr/>
<pre>Model: {{ model | json }}</pre>

Step 4: Use Component ts File

Now we need to update our component.ts file here we will write code of bootstrap datepicker model, let's update as like bellow:

src/app/app.component.ts

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
  
@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
  title = 'appBootstrap';
  
  model;
  
  constructor() {}
    
}

Now we are ready to run both:

Run Angular App:

ng serve
