hide()

Since: DateTime 1.0.0

Hides the DateTime instance.
Please note - this property requires the DateTime extension for DataTables.

Description

This method detaches the DateTime picker element from the DOM, effectively leaving just the original input element in the document.

This can be useful in cases where a container that holds the input for the DateTime is removed from the display (e.g. a modal form). Calling this method will ensure that the date / time picker is hidden, regardless of its focus state.

Type

function hide()

Description:: Hides the DateTime instance.
Returns:: DateTime

Self for chaining.

Examples

Hide an instance of DateTime:

var dt = new DateTime(document.getElementById('#dtInput'));
dt.hide();

Ensure the date picker is hidden when closing a Bootstrap 4 modal:

var dt = new DateTime($('#dtInput'));

$('#myModal').on('hide.bs.modal', function (event) {
	dt.hide();
});
