Markup
=======
The following are examples of supported markup. On their own, these will not provide a datepicker widget; you will need to instantiate the datepicker on the markup.
input
-----
The simplest case: focusing the input (clicking or tabbing into it) will show the picker.
.. code-block:: html
.. figure:: _static/screenshots/markup_input.png
:align: center
component
---------
Adding the ``date`` class to an ``input-group`` bootstrap component will allow the ``input-group-addon`` elements to trigger the picker.
.. code-block:: html
.. figure:: _static/screenshots/markup_component.png
:align: center
.. _daterange:
date-range
----------
Using the ``input-daterange`` construct with multiple child inputs will instantiate one picker per input and link them together to allow selecting ranges.
.. code-block:: html
to
.. figure:: _static/screenshots/markup_daterange.png
:align: center
Note that that ``input-daterange`` itself does not implement the ``datepicker`` methods. Methods should be directly called to the inputs. For example:
::
$('.input-daterange input').each(function() {
$(this).datepicker('clearDates');
});
inline or embedded
------------------
Instantiating the datepicker on a simple div will give an embedded picker that is always visible.
.. code-block:: html
.. figure:: _static/screenshots/markup_inline.png
:align: center
Example to save the embedded datepicker value to a hidden field
.. code-block:: html
::
$('#datepicker').datepicker();
$('#datepicker').on('changeDate', function() {
$('#my_hidden_input').val(
$('#datepicker').datepicker('getFormattedDate')
);
});
