22nd August 2023
In this article, we are going to describe how to enable and disable custom dates in Datepicker using jquery and jquery UI with a Live demo and sample code.
A date-picker of jQuery UI is the most usable date-picker plugin while we are working on the customizable date field, it is used to provide a calendar to the user to select the date month from a Calendar.
This date picker is used with an input text box so user selection of the date from the calendar is transferred to the textbox.
Here We will use the CDN link for different libraries and styles. for displaying any Jquery Ui widget, we need to use jquery and Jquery UI Either downloadable or CDN. We can also change the jquery
UI Theme But I am using the base default theme you can change it as you want.
we will discuss implementing the below-mentioned problem and their solution:
- EX 01: Disabled Sunday and Friday

minDate: 0, // Minimum selectable date (0: today)
maxDate: "+1y", // Maximum selectable date (+1y: one year from today)
showOtherMonths: true, // Show dates from other months in the current view
selectOtherMonths: true, // Allow selecting dates from other months
numberOfMonths: 2, // Display multiple months in the datepicker
showButtonPanel: true, // Show button panel with Today and Done buttons
changeMonth: true, // Show month dropdown
changeYear: true, // Show year dropdown
showWeek: true, // Show week numbers
firstDay: 1, // Set Monday as the first day of the week
