Hi I'm trying to replace the datetimepicker with flatpickr but I can't handle this situation. Not wishing to use the Range plugin of flatpickr I would like to be able to change the minDate or maxDate of an instance using the onChange event. Unfortunately I found little information about this passage on the guides

 flatpickr('#start_time', {
    locale: 'it',
    enableTime: true,
    plugins: [
      new confirmDate({
        confirmIcon: "<i class='fa fa-check'></i>",
        confirmText: '',
        showAlways: true,
      }),
    ],
    showAlways: false,
    theme: 'airbnb',
    time_24hr: true,
    altInput: true,
    altFormat: 'F j, Y H:i',
    dateFormat: 'Z',
    weekNumbers: true,
    maxDate: $('#end_time').attr('value'),
    onClose: function(selectedDates, dateStr, instance) {
    // Change #end_time minDate
    },
  });

  flatpickr('#end_time', {
    locale: 'it',
    enableTime: true,
    plugins: [
      new confirmDate({
        confirmIcon: "<i class='fa fa-check'></i>",
        confirmText: '',
        showAlways: true,
      }),
    ],
    showAlways: false,
    theme: 'airbnb',
    time_24hr: true,
    altInput: true,
    altFormat: 'F j, Y H:i',
    dateFormat: 'Z',
    weekNumbers: true,
    minDate: $('#start_time').attr('value'),
    onClose: function(selectedDates, dateStr, instance) {
    // Change #start_time maxDate
    },
  });

I tried to play with $('#start_time')[0]._flatpickr.config._maxDate but without success

Thanks ;)

• javascript
• flatpickr

• why tag ruby-on-rails? – Jagdeep Singh Commented May 21, 2018 at 9:57
• the file is a .js.erb but I noticed now that there is no rails code. I remove it ;) – Mauro Commented May 21, 2018 at 10:00

Solved in this way

let startpicker = flatpickr('#start_time', {
    locale: 'it',
    enableTime: true,
    plugins: [
      new confirmDate({
        confirmIcon: "<i class='fa fa-check'></i>",
        confirmText: '',
        showAlways: true,
      }),
    ],
    showAlways: false,
    theme: 'airbnb',
    time_24hr: true,
    altInput: true,
    altFormat: 'F j, Y H:i',
    dateFormat: 'Z',
    weekNumbers: true,
    maxDate: $('#end_time').attr('value'),
    onClose: function(selectedDates, dateStr, instance) {
      endpicker.set('minDate', dateStr);
    },
  });

  let endpicker = flatpickr('#end_time', {
    locale: 'it',
    enableTime: true,
    plugins: [
      new confirmDate({
        confirmIcon: "<i class='fa fa-check'></i>",
        confirmText: '',
        showAlways: true,
      }),
    ],
    showAlways: false,
    theme: 'airbnb',
    time_24hr: true,
    altInput: true,
    altFormat: 'F j, Y H:i',
    dateFormat: 'Z',
    weekNumbers: true,
    minDate: $('#start_time').attr('value'),
    onClose: function(selectedDates, dateStr, instance) {
      startpicker.set('maxDate', dateStr);
    },
  });
