i cant find a way to open the kendo angular(2+) datepicker from JS.

i want to have my own datepicker icon , hiding the default controller ( input field and icon using visibility: hidden; ) and to open the popup when my icon is clicked.

in the api doc i can find only blur and focus Methods

thanks

You can use following code to toggle the visibility of the date-picker (use this code in your icon click event);

datepicker.toggle()

example;

 <button (click)="datepicker1.toggle()">toggle date picker</button>
 <kendo-datepicker #datepicker1></kendo-datepicker>
