Jquery UI datepicker. Disable array of Dates

I have been trying to search for a solution to my Jquery ui datepicker problem and I'm having no luck. Here's what I'm trying to do...

I have an application where i'm doing some complex PHP to return a JSON array of dates that I want BLOCKED out of the Jquery UI Datepicker. I am returning this array:

["2013-03-14","2013-03-15","2013-03-16"]

Is there not a simple way to simply say: block these dates from the datepicker?

I've read the UI documentation and I see nothing that helps me. Anyone have any ideas?

You can use beforeShowDay to do this

The following example disables dates 14 March 2013 thru 16 March 2013

var dates = ['2013-03-14', '2013-03-15', '2013-03-16'];

$('input').datepicker
({
    beforeShowDay: function(date)
    {
        var string = jQuery.datepicker.formatDate('yy-mm-dd', date);
        return [dates.indexOf(string) == -1];
    }
});

Demo: Fiddle

If you also want to block Sundays (or other days) as well as the array of dates, I use this code:

jQuery(function($){

    var disabledDays = [
       "27-4-2016", "25-12-2016", "26-12-2016",
       "4-4-2017", "5-4-2017", "6-4-2017", "6-4-2016", "7-4-2017", "8-4-2017", "9-4-2017"
    ];

   //replace these with the id's of your datepickers
   $("#id-of-first-datepicker,#id-of-second-datepicker").datepicker({
      beforeShowDay: function(date){
         var day = date.getDay();
         var string = jQuery.datepicker.formatDate('d-m-yy', date);
         var isDisabled = ($.inArray(string, disabledDays) != -1);

         //day != 0 disables all Sundays
         return [day != 0 && !isDisabled];
      }
   });
});

If you want to disable particular date(s) in jquery datepicker then here is the simple demo for you.

<script type="text/javascript">
    var arrDisabledDates = {};
    arrDisabledDates[new Date("08/28/2017")] = new Date("08/28/2017");
    arrDisabledDates[new Date("12/23/2017")] = new Date("12/23/2017");
    $(".datepicker").datepicker({
        dateFormat: "dd/mm/yy",
        beforeShowDay: function (date) {
            var day = date.getDay(),
                    bDisable = arrDisabledDates[date];
            if (bDisable)
                return [false, "", ""]
        }
    });
</script>

For DD-MM-YY use this code:

var array = ["03-03-2017', '03-10-2017', '03-25-2017"]

$('#datepicker').datepicker({
    beforeShowDay: function(date){
    var string = jQuery.datepicker.formatDate('dd-mm-yy', date);
    return [ array.indexOf(string) == -1 ]
    }
});

function highlightDays(date) {
    for (var i = 0; i < dates.length; i++) {
    if (new Date(dates[i]).toString() == date.toString()) {
        return [true, 'highlight'];
    }
}
return [true, ''];
}

beforeShowDate didn't work for me, so I went ahead and developed my own solution:

$('#embeded_calendar').datepicker({
               minDate: date,
                localToday:datePlusOne,
               changeDate: true,
               changeMonth: true,
               changeYear: true,
               yearRange: "-120:+1",
               onSelect: function(selectedDateFormatted){

                     var selectedDate = $("#embeded_calendar").datepicker('getDate');

                    deactivateDates(selectedDate);
                   }

           });


              var excludedDates = [ "10-20-2017","10-21-2016", "11-21-2016"];

              deactivateDates(new Date());

            function deactivateDates(selectedDate){
                setTimeout(function(){ 
                      var thisMonthExcludedDates = thisMonthDates(selectedDate);
                      thisMonthExcludedDates = getDaysfromDate(thisMonthExcludedDates);
                       var excludedTDs = page.find('td[data-handler="selectDay"]').filter(function(){
                           return $.inArray( $(this).text(), thisMonthExcludedDates) >= 0
                       });

                       excludedTDs.unbind('click').addClass('ui-datepicker-unselectable');
                   }, 10);
            }

            function thisMonthDates(date){
              return $.grep( excludedDates, function( n){
                var dateParts = n.split("-");
                return dateParts[0] == date.getMonth() + 1  && dateParts[2] == date.getYear() + 1900;
            });
            }

            function getDaysfromDate(datesArray){
                  return  $.map( datesArray, function( n){
                    return n.split("-")[1]; 
                });
             }

$('input').datepicker({
   beforeShowDay: function(date){
       var string = jQuery.datepicker.formatDate('yy-mm-dd', date);
       return [ array.indexOf(string) == -1 ]
   }
});

IE 8 doesn't have indexOf function, so I used jQuery inArray instead.

$('input').datepicker({
    beforeShowDay: function(date){
        var string = jQuery.datepicker.formatDate('yy-mm-dd', date);
        return [$.inArray(string, array) == -1];
    }
});
