the accepted arguments to be passed to the datepicker.picker()
:
def picker(id=".datepicker", # identifier will be passed to Jquery to select element
dateFormat='yy-mm-dd', # can't be explained more !
maxDate='2018-12-30', # maximum date to select from. Make sure to follow the same format yy-mm-dd
minDate='2017-12-01', # minimum date
btnsId='.btnId' # id assigned to instigating buttons if needed
):
datepicker.loader()
allows you to select a specific theme of your choice via:
datepicker.loader(theme="base")
If there is not a theme selected, the extension will select a new random theme with each reload of the page to be used. To make it remember the random choice, pass :
datepicker.loader(random_remember=True)
List of available themes :
['base', 'black-tie', 'blitzer' 'cupertino','dark-hive', 'dot-luv', 'eggplant', 'excite-bike', 'flick', 'hot-sneaks', 'humanity', 'le-frog','mint-choc', 'overcast', 'pepper-grinder', 'redmond','smoothness', 'south-street', 'start', 'sunny','swanky-purse', 'trontastic', 'ui-darkness','ui-lightness', 'vader']
by default the extension will load jQueryUI plugin from a remote CDN. Although you can configure that to be locally through passing a list of two files .js and .css into the datepicker module like such:
datepicker(app=app, local=['static/js/jquery-ui.js', 'static/css/jquery-ui.css'])
- Datepicker: jQuery-ui date picker.
