           dateFormat: 'yyyy-mm-dd',
           firstDayOfWeek: 'mo',

           paths: {
               'npm:': 'node_modules/'
           },
           map: {
               // Other components are here...
   
               'mydatepicker': 'npm:mydatepicker',
           },
           packages: {
               // Other components are here...

                   main: './index.js',
                   defaultExtension: 'js'
               }
           }
       });
   })(this);

One of the following: mo, tu, we, th, fr, sa, su | | sunHighlight | true | Sunday red colored on calendar. | | editableMonthAndYear | true | Is month and year labels editable or not. | | minYear | 1000 | Minimum allowed year in calendar. Cannot be less than 1000. | | maxYear | 9999 | Maximum allowed year in calendar. Cannot be more than 9999. | | disableUntil | no default value | Disable dates backward starting from the given date. For example: {year: 2016, month: 6, day: 26} | | disableSince | no default value | Disable dates forward starting from the given date. For example: {year: 2016, month: 7, day: 22} | | disableWeekends | false | Disable weekends (Saturday and Sunday). | | inline | false | Show mydatepicker in inline mode. | | height | 34px | mydatepicker height without selector. Can be used if inline = false. | | width | 100% | mydatepicker width. Can be used if inline = false. | | selectionTxtFontSize | 18px | Selection area font size. Can be used if inline = false. | | alignSelectorRight | false | Align selector right. Can be used if inline = false. | | indicateInvalidDate | true | If user typed date is not same format as dateFormat, show red background in the selection area. Can be used if inline = false. | | showDateFormatPlaceholder | false | Show value of dateFormat as placeholder in the selection area if it is empty. Can be used if inline = false. |

locale attribute

A two-letter ISO 639-1 language code can be provided as shorthand for several of the options listed above. Currently supported languages: en, fr, ja, fi and es. If the locale attribute is used it overrides dayLabels, monthLabels, dateFormat, todayBtnTxt, firstDayOfWeek and sunHighlight properties from the options.

• new locale data can be added to this file.

selDate attribute

Provide the initially chosen date that will display both in the text input field and provide the default for the popped-up selector.

defaultMonth attribute

If selDate is not specified, when the datepicker is opened, it will ordinarily default to selecting the current date. If you would prefer a different year and month to be the default for a freshly chosen date picking operation, specify a [defaultMonth] in the same format as that for the datepicker options (yyyy.mm if not otherwise specified).
