How To Create An HTML Input Date & Time In React

html datetime in react

The thing about HTML 5 is that it does have some features that work from different browsers and the other doesn't, the obvious element that is really useful is the HTML input type datetime-local. It works perfectly on Chrome, but unfortunately doesn’t work on Firefox and Safari, if this happened only on an internet explorer or something older, i wouldn’t bother, but Firefox or safari is a major browser with a huge amount of users, so it is something that we need to support in other for our app to be function.

So here’s what I came up with using a combination of HTML type date and html type time to create a single react component as a replacement of datetime-local.

Here's the full example code on Code Sandbox so you can play with: FULL CODES & DEMO.

The idea is just to create a combination of input date and input type which is supported by All major browsers, so there’s nothing fancy here.

There’s already a react-datetime library but it doesn’t work as I expected like it used to work using jQuery. Yeah i love jQuery so much, it doesn’t require me to spin my head when using datepicker the way i use datepicker in react now. ALso because of this struggle, i don’t want to use this react-datepicker library, it only gonna make my life harder.

The only drawback is that the inputs are separated in two, you need to click the box twice, before selecting the date and the time, which if you use datetime-local you can just click the box once, and then select the date and time.

MySQL and MariaDB password As already mentioned in the title of this blog, this error message sometimes occurred when we are trying to update our root password database, either MySQL or MariaDB, The error says: ERROR 1348 (HY000): Column 'Password' is not updatable This is because if we use this SQL command to update our database root password, and it turn out to be Restricted by MySQL to use update on mysql database. UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('1234') WHERE User='root'; The solutions for MySQL Error1348 So you can not update a user password using Update commands, to update the password, use ALTER commands instead. like the following. ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '1234'; And then you need to do the flush privileges to commit previous queries (that alter command above) into the system, simply do like this. flush privileges; So now you have your root with password 1234.

Spring Boot is a handy tool that simplifies the development of Spring Framework applications by reducing the need for cumbersome configuration. In this tutorial, I'll guide you through creating a Spring Boot application using the Netbeans IDE. While you can certainly create a Spring Boot application in Netbeans manually, it's much easier with a plugin designed for Spring development. Here's a step-by-step guide to get you started: 1. Install the Spring Boot Plugin: Open Netbeans and navigate to the Tools menu. Click on "Plugins." Once the Plugins window opens, select the "Available Plugins" tab. Look for the "Nb SpringBoot" plugin, then install and activate it. 2. Create a New Spring Boot Project: After restarting Netbeans IDE, you can create a new project with Spring Boot. Go to File > New Project. Under Categories, select Maven, then choose "Spring Boot Basic." 3. Add Dependencies: With your new project created, open the po...

Spring Kafka - How to use ReplyingKafkaTemplate send and reply synchronously

Microservice Spring with Apache Kafka Today, I want to share how to use Kafka. It's quite interesting once you get the hang of it, and I hope my explanation will make it a bit easier for you. So, Kafka is primarily known as an asynchronous messaging queuing system. This means it allows different parts of your application to communicate with each other without waiting for immediate responses. However, there are times when you might need a more immediate reply from another service in your project. Luckily, Kafka can handle this too. Here’s how it works: The client side sends a message to the server side via Kafka. This message includes a special identifier in the Kafka header request, known as KafkaHeaders.CORRELATION_ID, along with a topic where the server should respond. The server, after processing the request, sends a message back to the same topic with the same correlation ID. This way, the client knows that the message is a response to its initial request and can act accordingl...
