Multiple dates in Bootstrap date-picker

Question

I am trying to select multiple dates in Boostrap-Datepicker.

I have intialized the datepicker as such, just fine.

$(\'#datepicker2\').datepicker();
<         


        

Answer 1

It is necessary to first define your datepicker as a multidate picker through the options.

$('#datepicker2').datepicker({
  multidate: true
});

Then you can set your dates via the setDates method :

$('.date').datepicker({
    multidate: true
});

$('.date').datepicker('setDates', [new Date(2014, 2, 5), new Date(2014, 3, 5)])

<input type="text" class="form-control date"/>

Answer 2

You can also set limit for number of dates to be select. See below example, you will be able to select only 5 dates maximum.

Example

$("#Txt_Date").datepicker({
    format: 'd-M-yyyy',
    inline: false,
    lang: 'en',
    step: 5,
    multidate: 5,
    closeOnDateSelect: true
});

<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-datepicker/1.8.0/css/bootstrap-datepicker.css" rel="stylesheet"/>


<input type="text" id="Txt_Date" placeholder="Choose Date" style="cursor: pointer;">
