Usage

All date values - both HTML markup and JavaScript - accepts accepts dates as numbers, or as natural language in the format of @nrk/simple-date-parse.

HTML / JavaScript

  <div class="my-datepicker">
    <!-- There are different behaviours depending on the type of <input>. -->
    <!-- When 'radio' or 'checkbox' is used, core-datepicker checks the value field -->
    <!-- to see if the date specified is matching the values of the <input>s. -->
    <!-- When any other type is used, core-datepicker sets the type to number -->
    <!-- and sets the date specified in the value field. -->
    <input type="radio|checkbox|year|month|day|hour|minute|second|timestamp"/>

    <!-- If an empty <select> is provided, core-datepicker will populate the select -->
    <!-- with months and automatically handle the date state when an option is chosen -->
    <select></select>

    <!-- If you use a <select> that is already populated, core-datepicker will not -->
    <!-- modify it, but handle the dates specified in values -->
    <select>
      <option value="2016-m-d">Set year to 2016</option>
      <option value="19yy-1-1">Back 100 years and set to January 1st.</option>
      <option value="1985-12-19">December 19, 1985</option>
    </select>


    <!-- If an empty <table> is provided, core-datepicker will display all dates -->
    <!-- for the current/chosen month -->
    <table></table>

    <!-- It is also possible to extend the datepicker with more features -->
    <!-- As shown in the example, it is possible to provide buttons that moves -->
    <!-- the date a certain amount of time  -->
    <fieldset>
      <legend>Navigasjon</legend>
      <!-- Dates relative to today/now by using the keyword 'now' -->
      <button value="now">I dag</button>
      <button value="now - 1 day|week|month|year">I går/forrige uke/måned/år</button>
      <button value="now + 1 day|week|month|year">I morgen/neste uke/måned/år</button>

      <!-- Semi-specific dates -->
      <!-- Will use the first two digits of the current year and set the two last -->
      <!-- digits of the year 0. Will set the date to 1st of January -->
      <button value="yy00-01-01">Start of current century</button>
    </fieldset>
  </div>

import coreDatepicker from '@nrk/core-datepicker'

coreDatepicker(
  String|Element|Elements, // Accepts a selector string, NodeList, Element or array of Elements
  String|Date              // Specify the date which coreDatepicker should use.
  // e.g:
  'now + 2 days'           // Will set the date to the day after tomorrow  
})

React / Preact

import CoreDatepicker from '@nrk/core-datepicker/jsx'

<CoreDatepicker date={String|Date} onChange={function () {}} >
  <input type="radio|checkbox|year|month|day|hour|minute|second|timestamp"/> <!-- Same as with vanilla js -->  
  <select></select> <!-- Same as with vanilla js -->
  <table></table>   <!-- Same as with vanilla js -->
<CoreDatepicker>

Events

Events run in the order datepicker.click.day* → datepicker.render → datepicker.change
* datepicker.click.day only fires if user clicked inside the month days grid

datepicker.render

'datepicker.render' event is fired on every render. The datepicker.render can be used to disable specific dates or limit timespan (read: max/min). The bubbles and can therefore be detected both from button element itself, or any parent element (read event delegation):

document.addEventListener('datepicker.render', (event) => {
  event.target                        // The datepicker container
  event.detail.nextDate               // The new date that triggered change
  event.detail.prevDate               // The previous/current date
  event.detail.disable(function)      // Pass a fuction to the disable parameter to visually dates
  // Example, disable all future dates: event.detail.disable((date) => date > Date.now())
})

datepicker.change

'datepicker.change' event is fired when date is changed by user or programatically (both for VanillaJS and React/Preact components). The datepicker.change event is cancelable, meaning you can use event.preventDefault() to cancel change. The event also bubbles, and can therefore be detected both from button element itself, or any parent element (read event delegation):

document.addEventListener('datepicker.change', (event) => {
  event.target                        // The datepicker container
  event.detail.nextDate               // The new date that triggered change
  event.detail.prevDate               // The previous/current date
})

datepicker.click.day

'datepicker.click.day' event is fired if the user clicks a day in the month days grid. The datepicker.click.day runs before datepicker.change. The event is cancelable, meaning you can use event.preventDefault(). The event also bubbles, and can therefore be detected both from button element itself, or any parent element (read event delegation):

document.addEventListener('datepicker.click.day', (event) => {
  event.target                        // The datepicker container
  event.detail.currentTarget          // The button clicked
  event.detail.relatedTarget          // The table containing the button
  event.detail.nextDate               // The new date that triggered change
  event.detail.prevDate               // The previous/current date
})
