# Credit card expiration - JavaScript Date & Time demo

Javascript credit card expiration date select. Set up the date picker with month/year configuration. Plain JS api for usage everywhere.

- [Live demo](https://demo.mobiscroll.com/javascript/datetime/month-year-picker)
- [View code on GitHub](https://github.com/acidb/mobiscroll-demos-javascript/tree/main/src/demos/datepicker/datetime/month-year-picker)
- This demo in other frameworks: [jQuery](https://demo.mobiscroll.com/jquery/datetime/month-year-picker.md), [Angular](https://demo.mobiscroll.com/angular/datetime/month-year-picker.md), [React](https://demo.mobiscroll.com/react/datetime/month-year-picker.md), [Vue](https://demo.mobiscroll.com/vue/datetime/month-year-picker.md)

## Description

Customize the wheels and format the date picker for month & year. Choose a `month/year` format for the credit card expiration date.

This and even more can be done with the [`dateWheels`](https://mobiscroll.com/docs/javascript/datepicker/api#opt-dateWheels) setting.

## What this demo shows

- Shows a form with fields for the cardholder name, card number, expiration date, and three-digit CVV.
- **Expiration picker** Clicking the expiration field opens a wheel-style month and year picker with separate scrollable wheels for selecting the month and year. The selected values appear in the central selection area, while neighboring values are visually subdued.
- **Scrolling behavior** Users can scroll vertically through the month and year values to change the expiration date.
- **Footer actions** `Cancel` discards the change, while `Set` confirms the selected expiration date.
- **Input value** Confirming the selection displays the expiration date in the input using a `month/year` format.

## Best for

- **Credit card forms** Collecting a card expiration date as a month and year alongside the cardholder name, card number, and CVV.
- **Month and year selection** Configuring date picker wheels when a specific day is not needed.
- **Expiration date formatting** Displaying the confirmed value in a `month/year` format.

  theme: 'ios',
  themeVariant: 'light'
});

var now = new Date();
var until = new Date(now.getFullYear() + 10, now.getMonth());

### HTML

```html
<div class="mbsc-form-group">
    <div class="mbsc-form-group-title">Add a new credit card</div>
    <label>
        Name
        <input mbsc-input type="text" placeholder="Required" />

    <label>
        Expiration
        <input mbsc-input id="picker" type="text" placeholder="Required" value="12/2025"/>
    </label>
    <label>
        Security
        <input mbsc-input type="text" placeholder="3-digit CVV" />
    </label>
</div>
```

## Implementation notes

- A single `Datepicker` (`controls: ['date']`) is anchored to the "Expiration" input inside a plain credit-card form (`Name`, `Card`, `Expiration`, `Security` inputs); the other three inputs are plain/`mbsc-input` fields with no picker attached.
- `dateFormat: 'MM/YYYY'` controls how the confirmed value is written back into the input; `dateWheels: 'MMMM YYYY'` independently controls the format shown on the wheels themselves (full month name + year) while scrolling - the two formats are set separately and don't need to match.
- `min` is set to the current date (`now`) and `max` to ten years out, computed as `new Date(now.getFullYear() + 10, now.getMonth())` - both are dynamically calculated, not fixed dates.
- The input's initial displayed value (`12/2025`) is set as a static `value`, not derived from `min`/`max` or bound to a variable.
- The raw JS/jQuery init also sets `minWidth: 100` on the picker for layout sizing; this option is omitted from the per-framework code snippets shown to visitors but is present in the actual demo config.
- `touchUi` (true by default on touch devices) determines whether the picker renders as scroller wheels (`true`) or dropdowns/desktop rendering (`false`).
