Using date range filter for primeng table

Question

I have the following code for implementing a date range filter in the PrimeNG table.

                    <th class="filter_header">
                      <p-calendar
                       
                        (onSelect)="historyTable.filter($event,'release_datetime', 'dateRangeFilter')"
                        placeholder="Search by release date"
                        [appendTo]="historyTable"
                        [(ngModel)]="rangeDates"
                      </p-calendar>
                    </th>

and in the component, I have FilterUtils defined as follows:

FilterUtils['dateRangeFilter'] = (value, filter): boolean => {
  if (filter === undefined || filter === null) {
    return true;
  }

  if (value === undefined || value === null) {
    return false;
  }
  console.log(value);
  if (this.rangeDates[0] <= value && this.rangeDates[1] >= value) {
    return true;
  }
}

But this is not working. If anyone can guide me right direction, that would be helpful.

I am getting the value as undefined. I have tried with $event.target.value, but it is also not working.

Try to update your calendar like below. Instead of using $event, you need rangeDates as filter.

    <p-calendar
      [(ngModel)]="rangeDates"
      (onSelect)="historyTable.filter(rangeDates,'release_datetime', 'dateRangeFilter')"
      placeholder="Search by release date"
      [appendTo]="historyTable">
    </p-calendar>
