Tempusdominus datetimepicker and ASP.NET MVC

Question

I try to use https://tempusdominus.github.io/bootstrap-4/ in ASP.NET MVC project.

HTML

<div class="input-group date" data-target-input="nearest">
       @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.TimeEnd,
        new { @class = "form-control form-control-sm  datetimepicker-input", 
                @data_toggle = "datetimepicker",
               @data_target = "#TimeEnd",
               type="text"
        })
      <div class="input-group-append" data-target="#TimeEnd" data-toggle="datetimepicker">
     <div class="input-group-text"><i class="fa fa-calendar"></i></div>
  </div>
</div>

Where model.TimeEnd is string in the format dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm

JS

$(document).ready(function () {
   $('#TimeEnd').datetimepicker({
      locale: 'es', 
    });
});

When I open page the input has correct value but it is not visible in the datetimepicker.

UPDATE #1

If I set defaultDate via the same model like defaultDate: '@Model.TimeEnd' (where it is string in the format dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm) then the Spanish localization is gone and I see English calendar! Wow. And the following error appears

moment-with-locales.min.js:1 Deprecation warning: value provided is not in a recognized RFC2822 or ISO format. moment construction falls back to js Date(), which is not reliable across all browsers and versions.

Any clue how to fix this issue?

Answer 1

It seems the probelm was around messing up the input and wraping div ids.

HTML

 <div class="form-group row">
                @Html.Label("Finish", new { @class = "col-sm-2 col-form-label", @for = "TimeStart2" })
                <div class="col-sm-10">
                    <div class="form-group">
                        <div class="input-group date" id="datetimepicker1" data-target-input="nearest">
                            <input id="TimeEnd" name="TimeEnd" value="@Model.TimeEnd" type="text" class="form-control form-control-sm datetimepicker-input" data-target="#datetimepicker1" />
                            <div class="input-group-append" data-target="#datetimepicker1" data-toggle="datetimepicker">
                                <div class="input-group-text"><i class="fa fa-calendar"></i></div>
                            </div>
                        </div>
               </div>
    </div>
</div>

JS

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('#datetimepicker1').datetimepicker({
         locale: 'es'
    });
});
