drm-datepickerjs

An headless, event-base, picker for Javascript project, with customization and localization support. This package provides your core functionality to create any picker your want, it does't matter which design system you use for UI and how much you need customization. This package provides you with 3 different of pickers

• DatePicker
  • used for simple date selection like birthday
• RangePicker
  • used to select a range of date
• MultiSelectPicker
  • used to randomly select dates (also range selection and de-selection is available)

Introduction

This package created in order to work regardless which tool you use, for example it doesn't matter you use a style system or write your style in pure css, it doesn't matter you use one of the existing JS framework or use a custom framework that you created by your own, still possible to use this package, also if you using pure js it's possible to use CDN (check this), even possible to use require instead of import (.cjs file included).

With this package you can add your localization easily, and it's up to you to determine the switch condition. localization doc

This package use JS new Date() to create dates and stores date based on gregorian calendar, this gives you more flexibility for example you can show one calendar as your primary calendar and show others calendar by only create a helper function that convert gregorian date to your target calendar, passing date to this converter gives you converted date, then you can do whatever you want with this date.

Because of headless design you can use this package to create calendars too.

How This Package Works

By adding this package you have access to 3 different types of pickers, you can change the behavior of the picker by passing some flags to the picker constructor (for more info read Customization), then picker instance gives you the functionality you need to create any picker you want, and it is you who decides to use all or some of these functions. In picker instance there is 2 more functions that I want to mention, changeDay and onChangeDate.

• The changeDay function can change the selected date, and this is the handler that must be called when user want to click/tap on a date.
• The onChangeDate takes a callback as an argument and runs it after user click/tap a button in order to change the date. Check the documentation about other functions doc.

Notes

• make sure the picker instance remain the same on each renders.
