@12core/date-input-polyfill

Just include this simple script and OS X Safari will support <input type="date">, without any dependencies, not even jQuery!

Support dynamically created inputs, so can be used in single page applications.

Forked from date-input-polyfill. Continuing as a separate project.

Changes include:

• A refreshed rollup based build system.
• No more webpack
• No more sass (postcss unsing standards based CSS)
• Maybe some bug fixes.
• Automated maintenance and a website: https://little-core-labs.github.io/date-input-polyfill

Known issues:

• input[type="date"].value returns the formatted date, rather than the standard YYYY-MM-DD format. This is unfortunate and may be addressed at some point.
• Automatic attachment isn't that reliable inside of react. This may be improved.
• Date objects are displayed in the local time zone, which causes date drift by a day sometimes. Looking into this issue now.

Install

npm install --save @12core/date-input-polyfill

Add to your project:

Features

• Easily Stylable: These are the default styles, which you may override with your own.

• Polyfills valueAsDate and valueAsNumber: Learn more about these properties. They behave as getters and setters.

• Keyboard Shortcuts: Esc will hide the datepicker. Up/Down will increment/decrement the date by one day.

• Localization: Specify the datepicker's locale by setting the lang attribute of the input element. The default locale is en.

  <input type="date" lang="en" />

• Formatting: Specify the display format by setting either the date-format or data-date-format attribute of the input element. The default format is yyyy-mm-dd. Available options list.

  <input type="date" date-format="mm/dd/yyyy" />

  <input type="date" data-date-format="mm/dd/yyyy" />
