In this tutorial we will see how to use datepicker in laravel 9 with bootstrap 5 using flatpickr. For this section we will use laravel 9 and laravel ui for bootstrap 5 and flatpickr for datepicker and time.
Tool Use
laravel 9
Laravel UI (Bootstrap 5)
Flatpickr (Datepicker)
Step 1: Create Laravel Project
Installing a fresh new laravel application, so head over to the terminal, type the command, and create a new laravel app.
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel laravel-datepicker
Step 2: Connect Database
Now, you have to connect the laravel app to the database, hence open the .env configuration file and add the database credentials as suggested below.
.env
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=database_name
DB_USERNAME=database_user_name
DB_PASSWORD=database_password
Step 3: Install Laravel UI for Bootstrap 5
Install laravel ui.
composer require laravel/ui
Run below command Generate login / registration scaffolding with bootstrap 5.
php artisan ui bootstrap --auth
Step 4: Add DateTime for Datepicker in User Migration , Model and Controller
migrations/2014_10_12_000000_create_users_table.php
public function up()
{
Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->string('name');
$table->string('email')->unique();
$table->timestamp('email_verified_at')->nullable();
$table->string('password');
$table->dateTime('birth_day')->nullable();
$table->rememberToken();
$table->timestamps();
});
}
Add in User Model dateTime filed.
app/Models/User.php
protected $fillable = [
'name',
'email',
'password',
'birth_day'
];
Add birth_day in user.
app/Http/Controllers/Auth/RegisteredUserController.php
$user = User::create([
'name' => $request->name,
'email' => $request->email,
'password' => Hash::make($request->password),
'birth_day' => $request->birth_day,
]);
Step 5: Add flatpickr for Datepicker in laravel 9
Install flatpickr via npm
npm i flatpickr --save
or use flatpickr cdn
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/flatpickr/dist/flatpickr.min.css">
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/flatpickr"></script>
We will use flatpickr for Datepicker cdn for this tutorial.
Add @stack('style') and @stack('scripts') in views/layouts/app.blade.php.
views/layouts/app.blade.php
<!doctype html>
<html lang="{{ str_replace('_', '-', app()->getLocale()) }}">
<head>

@stack('style')
<!-- Scripts -->
@vite(['resources/sass/app.scss', 'resources/js/app.js'])
</head>
<body>
<div id="app">
<nav class="bg-white shadow-sm navbar navbar-expand-md navbar-light">
<div class="container">

<button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse"
data-bs-target="#navbarSupportedContent" aria-controls="navbarSupportedContent"
aria-expanded="false" aria-label="{{ __('Toggle navigation') }}">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarSupportedContent">
<!-- Left Side Of Navbar -->
<ul class="navbar-nav me-auto">

<!-- Right Side Of Navbar -->
<ul class="navbar-nav ms-auto">
<!-- Authentication Links -->
@guest
@if (Route::has('login'))
<li class="nav-item">

@endif
@if (Route::has('register'))
<li class="nav-item">

@endif
@else
<li class="nav-item dropdown">
<a id="navbarDropdown" class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" href="#" role="button"
data-bs-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false" v-pre>
{{ Auth::user()->name }}
</a>
<div class="dropdown-menu dropdown-menu-end" aria-labelledby="navbarDropdown">
<a class="dropdown-item" href="{{ route('logout') }}" onclick="event.preventDefault();
document.getElementById('logout-form').submit();">
{{ __('Logout') }}
