Datepicker

The one and only datepicker with no dependencies.

How to

Standalone:

<div id="my-datepicker"></div>

<script src="datepicker.min.js"></script>
<script>
  var elem = document.querySelector('#my-datepicker');

  new Datepicker(elem, {
    onDateChanged: function (selectedDate) {
      console.log(selectedDate);
    }
  });

  elem.datepicker.setSelectedDate(new Date('6/22'));
</script>

With AngularJS:

<sexy-datepicker data-ng-model="selectedDate" />

<script src="angular-1.1.5.js"></script>
<script src="angular.datepicker.min.js"></script>
<script>
  angular.module('myApp', ['sexyDatepicker'])
    .controller('myController', function ($scope) {
      $scope.selectedDate = new Date('6/22');
    });
</script>

With jQuery:

<div id="my-datepicker"></div>

<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.datepicker.min.js"></script>
<script>
  $('#my-datepicker').datepicker({
    onDateChanged: function (selectedDate) {
      console.log(selectedDate);
    }
  });

  $('#my-datepicker').get(0).datepicker.setSelectedDate(new Date('6/22'));
</script>

Interacting with datepicker

Going back and forth in months programatically.

/* Create datepicker with current date set to today.
   July 1st. */
var datepicker = new Datepicker(...);

/* Select August 1st. */
datepicker.incrementMonth();

/* Change date to 2 months later. */
datepicker.incrementMonth(2);

/* Change it back to July 1st. */
datepicker.incrementMonth(-3);

/* Move to the next year. */
datepicker.incrementMonth(12);

/* Move back to the year selected before. */
datepicker.incrementMonth(-12);

Changing selected date.

/* New datepicker with today's date. July 1st. */
var datepicker = new Datepicker(...);

/* Make it select my birthday. */
var myBirthday = new Date('6/22/2013');
datepicker.setSelectedDate(myBirthday);

Re-build datepicker.

var datepicker = new Datepicker(...);
datepicker.build();

Remove datepicker completely.

var datepicker = new Datepicker(...);
datepicker.destroy();

Actually getting a date from datepicker

Each time the date changes, the onDateChanged option will be called with the selected date as its first argument.

/* Print the new date on the console */
new Datepicker(elem, {
  onDateChanged: function (newDate) {
    console.log(newDate);
  }
});

It'll also call onDateChanged when created, unless you pass a date in the options.

/* This will not trigger onDateChanged callback */
new Datepicker(elem, {
  selectedDate: new Date('6/22'),
  onDateChanged: function (newDate) {
    console.log(newDate);
  }
});

More options

Override names of months...

/* Months in spanish */
new Datepicker(elem, {
  onDateChanged: function (newDate) {
    console.log(newDate);
  }
  monthNames: ['Enero', 'Febrero', 'Marzo', 'Abril', 'Mayo', 'Junio', 'Julio', 'Agosto', 'Setiembre', 'Octubre', 'Noviembre', 'Diciembre']
})

...and names of days too.

/* Months and days in spanish */
new Datepicker(elem, {
  onDateChanged: function (newDate) {
    console.log(newDate);
  }
  monthNames: ['Enero', 'Febrero', 'Marzo', 'Abril', 'Mayo', 'Junio', 'Julio', 'Agosto', 'Setiembre', 'Octubre', 'Noviembre', 'Diciembre'],
  dayNames: ['Domingo', 'Lunes', 'Martes', 'Miercoles', 'Jueves', 'Viernes', 'Sabado']
})

When using the AngularJS directive:

<!-- Add `month-names` and `day-names` attributes to element. -->
<sexy-datepicker month-names="months" day-names="days" />

angular.module('myApp', ['sexyDatepicker'])
  .controller('myController', function ($scope) {
    /* Create arrays with name on the $scope. */
    $scope.months = ['Enero', 'Febrero', 'Marzo', 'Abril', 'Mayo', 'Junio', 'Julio', 'Agosto', 'Setiembre', 'Octubre', 'Noviembre', 'Diciembre'];
    $scope.days = ['Domingo', 'Lunes', 'Martes', 'Miercoles', 'Jueves', 'Viernes', 'Sabado'];
  });

To-do

• Build with Grunt.
• Add tests.
• Something that seemed extremely important but I've forgotten.
