The DateRangeSlider widget allows selecting a date range using a slider with two handles.

    • 





The slider start and end can be adjusted by dragging the handles and whole range can be shifted by dragging the selected range.


datetime_range_slider = pmui.DatetimeRangeSlider(
    name='Datetime Range Slider',
    start=dt.datetime(2017, 1, 1), end=dt.datetime(2019, 1, 1),
    value=(dt.datetime(2017, 1, 1), dt.datetime(2018, 1, 10)),
    step=10000
)

datetime_range_slider







            
            
DatetimeRangeSlider.value returns a tuple of datetime values that can be read out and set like other widgets:


datetime_range_slider.value





(datetime.datetime(2017, 1, 1, 0, 0), datetime.datetime(2018, 1, 10, 0, 0))








Controls#


The DatetimeRangeSlider widget exposes a number of options which can be changed from both Python and Javascript. Try out the effect of these parameters interactively:


pn.Row(datetime_range_slider.controls(jslink=True), datetime_range_slider)
