Kartiv yii2 datepicker with model and custom id - yii2

Question

I am using kartik datepicker extension http://demos.krajee.com/widget-details/datepicker in Yii2.
Issue :
If I use this with custom id for input it does not show show model validations
echo kartik\date\DatePicker::widget([
'model' => $objPatientModel,
'form'=>$objActiveForm,
'attribute' => 'date_of_birth',
'options' => ['placeholder' => 'Enter birth date ...', 'id' => 'patient_dob'], **// with id clientside validations for model does not work**
'pluginOptions' => [
'format' => 'dd-mm-yyyy',
'endDate' => date('d-m-Y'),
]
]);
While below code works
echo kartik\date\DatePicker::widget([
'model' => $objPatientModel,
'form'=>$objActiveForm,
'attribute' => 'date_of_birth',
'options' => ['placeholder' => 'Enter birth date ...'],**//id is not used here**
'pluginOptions' => [
'format' => 'dd-mm-yyyy',
'endDate' => date('d-m-Y'),
]
]);
But I want to use custom id .Any suggestions ?

Answer 1

You have to override the selectors, example:
$form->field($model, 'comment', ['selectors' => ['input' => '#myCustomId']])
->textarea(['id' => 'myCustomId']);?>
See https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2/issues/7627

Answer 2

<?=
$form->field($model, 'sales_date')->widget(DateControl::classname(), [
'name' => 'sales_date',
'value' => date('d-m-Y h:i:s'),
'type' => DateControl::FORMAT_DATETIME,
'autoWidget' => true,
'displayFormat' => 'php:d-m-Y h:i:s',
'saveFormat' => 'php:Y-m-d h:i:s',
'saveOptions' => [
'type' => 'hidden',
'form' => 'sales-form-red',
],
])
?>
by using the following option you can add extra form tag to input
'saveOptions' => [
'type' => 'hidden',
'form' => 'sales-form-red',
'class' => 'sales_date',
]
In my case out was
<input type="hidden" id="sales-sales_date" name="Sales[sales_date]" form="sales-form-red">
