Date Input Plugin for Apache Cordova

Cordova plugin to enhance text date inputs with native date selection.

Platforms

There is currently native support for iOS already, the aim of this plugin is to provide enhancements for Android (4.3 and under) and Windows Phone 8.

1 step install

cordova plugin add https://github.com/leecrossley/cordova-plugin-date-input.git

Usage

You do not need to reference any JavaScript, the Cordova plugin architecture will add a dateinput object to your root automatically when you build.

Ensure you use the plugin after your deviceready event has been fired.

Bind callback to elements WIP

The easiest way to use this plugin is to bind the native callback to all date inputs (input[type='date'] elements) once they have been rendered to the DOM. Calling the init function on the dateinput object will handle all this for you:

window.dateinput.init();

There is also support for a custom selector as the first argument of the init function:

window.dateinput.init("input.date");

Note: Ensure init is called after trigger elements are rendered to the DOM (there's no "on" style support).

Showing programatically WIP

You may wish to trigger the native callback programatically. The show function on the dateinput object has been surfaced to allow this:

var options = {

}; // WIP
window.dateinput.show(options);
