<div class="descr"> <a name="details"></a>
<p>a date value.</p>
<p>The <code>date</code> type refers to a date value, including the time of the day.</p>
<p>To create a <code>date</code> value, specify it as a "YYYY-MM-DD" string:</p>
<pre class="qml">
<span class="type">MyDatePicker</span> { <span class="name">minDate</span>: <span class="string">"2000-01-01"</span>; <span class="name">maxDate</span>: <span class="string">"2020-12-31"</span> }
</pre>
<p>To read a date value returned from a C++ extension class, use <a href="qml-qtqml-qt.html#formatDate-method">Qt.formatDate()</a> and <a href="qml-qtqml-qt.html#formatDateTime-method">Qt.formatDateTime()</a>.</p>
<p>When integrating with C++, note that any QDate or QDateTime value <a href="qtqml-cppintegration-data.html">passed into QML from C++</a> is automatically converted into a <code>date</code> value, and vice-versa.</p>
<p>This basic type is provided by the QML language. It can be implicitly converted to a <a href="qml-qtqml-date.html">Date</a> object.</p>
