Bootstrap datepicker show dates only

Question

Is it possible to show only dates in Bootstrap datepicker ?

I am showing only months and years using following methods -

$("#year").datepicker({
    format: " yyyy", 
    viewMode: "years",
    minViewMode: "years"
});

$("#month").datepicker({
    format: " mm", 
    viewMode: "months",
    minViewMode: "months",
    maxViewMode: 0
});

A live demo showing only year and month selection in Year and Month field. I want to show only date from 1 to 31 without Month, Year at the top and also without day's name, at the Date field.

Yes, it is possible, but a bit complicated, you have to:

• Set the format option to d (or dd)
• Set maxViewMode option to 0 (minViewMode is 0 by default)
• Hide prev/next month buttons and the month name button, you can do it using CSS:
  • the days view of the datepicker is inside a table that has .datepicker-days class
  • the prev and next button are inside the .datepicker-days table and they have .prev and .next classes
  • the month name is in the same table and it has the .datepicker-switch class
• The date datepicker should show the right number of days, so you have to dinamically update defaultViewDate when year and month are selected (see changeDate event)
  • Since the picker has no setter method for defaultViewDate, you can destroy it and then re-init it.

Here a full working sample:

$(document).ready(function() {
  var dateOpt = {
    format: 'dd',
    maxViewMode: 0
  };
  
  $("#year").datepicker({
    format: "yyyy",
    viewMode: "years",
    minViewMode: "years"
  }).on('changeDate', function(e) {
    var month = $('#month').datepicker('getDate');
    if( !month ){
      month = new Date();
    }
    dateOpt.defaultViewDate = {
      year: e.date.getFullYear(),
      month: month.getMonth(),
      day: 1
    };
    // Reset date datepicker
    $('#date').datepicker('destroy');
    // Re-init with defaultViewDate option
    $('#date').datepicker(dateOpt);
  });

  $("#month").datepicker({
    format: "mm",
    viewMode: "months",
    minViewMode: "months",
    maxViewMode: 0
  }).on('changeDate', function(e) {
    var year = $('#year').datepicker('getDate');
    if( !year ){
      year = new Date();
    }
    dateOpt.defaultViewDate = {
      year: year.getFullYear(),
      month: e.date.getMonth(),
      day: 1
    };
    $('#date').datepicker('destroy');
    $('#date').datepicker(dateOpt);
  });

  $("#date").datepicker(dateOpt)
});

/* Hide prev/next buttons and month name*/
.datepicker-days>table>thead>tr>th.prev,
.datepicker-days>table>thead>tr>th.datepicker-switch,
.datepicker-days>table>thead>tr>th.next {
  display: none;
}

/* Hide days of previous month */
td.old.day{
  visibility: hidden;
}

/* Hide days of next month */
td.new.day{
  display: none;
}
