Display a date input widget.

Function signature[source]

st.date_input(label, value="default_value_today", min_value=None, max_value=None, key=None, help=None, on_change=None, args=None, kwargs=None, *, format="YYYY/MM/DD", disabled=False, label_visibility="visible")

Parameters

label (str)

A short label explaining to the user what this date input is for. The label can optionally contain GitHub-flavored Markdown of the following types: Bold, Italics, Strikethroughs, Inline Code, and Links.

Unsupported Markdown elements are unwrapped so only their children (text contents) render. Display unsupported elements as literal characters by backslash-escaping them. E.g., "1\. Not an ordered list".

See the body parameter of st.markdown for additional, supported Markdown directives.

For accessibility reasons, you should never set an empty label (label="") but hide it with label_visibility if needed. In the future, we may disallow empty labels by raising an exception.

value (datetime.date or datetime.datetime or list/tuple of datetime.date or datetime.datetime, "today", or None)

The value of this widget when it first renders. If a list/tuple with 0 to 2 date/datetime values is provided, the datepicker will allow users to provide a range. If None, will initialize empty and return None until the user provides input. If "today" (default), will initialize with today as a single-date picker.

min_value (datetime.date or datetime.datetime)

The minimum selectable date. If value is a date, defaults to value - 10 years. If value is the interval [start, end], defaults to start - 10 years.

max_value (datetime.date or datetime.datetime)

The maximum selectable date. If value is a date, defaults to value + 10 years. If value is the interval [start, end], defaults to end + 10 years.

key (str or int)

An optional string or integer to use as the unique key for the widget. If this is omitted, a key will be generated for the widget based on its content. No two widgets may have the same key.

help (str)

An optional tooltip that gets displayed next to the input.

on_change (callable)

An optional callback invoked when this date_input's value changes.

args (tuple)

An optional tuple of args to pass to the callback.

kwargs (dict)

An optional dict of kwargs to pass to the callback.

format (str)

A format string controlling how the interface should display dates. Supports "YYYY/MM/DD" (default), "DD/MM/YYYY", or "MM/DD/YYYY". You may also use a period (.) or hyphen (-) as separators.

disabled (bool)

An optional boolean, which disables the date input if set to True. The default is False.

label_visibility ("visible", "hidden", or "collapsed")

The visibility of the label. If "hidden", the label doesn't show but there is still empty space for it above the widget (equivalent to label=""). If "collapsed", both the label and the space are removed. Default is "visible".

Returns

(datetime.date or a tuple with 0-2 dates or None)

The current value of the date input widget or None if no date has been selected.

Examples

import datetime
import streamlit as st

d = st.date_input("When's your birthday", datetime.date(2019, 7, 6))
st.write("Your birthday is:", d)
import datetime
import streamlit as st

today = datetime.datetime.now()
next_year = today.year + 1
jan_1 = datetime.date(next_year, 1, 1)
dec_31 = datetime.date(next_year, 12, 31)

d = st.date_input(
    "Select your vacation for next year",
    (jan_1, datetime.date(next_year, 1, 7)),
    jan_1,
    dec_31,
    format="MM.DD.YYYY",
)
d

To initialize an empty date input, use None as the value:

import datetime
import streamlit as st

d = st.date_input("When's your birthday", value=None)
st.write("Your birthday is:", d)
