pickadate v3.4.0

The mobile-friendly, responsive, and lightweight jQuery date & time input picker.

To get started, check out the:

Homepage - Date picker - Time picker - API

To get it:

Download v3.4.0 or git clone git://github.com/amsul/pickadate.js.git or bower install pickadate

## Upgrading from v2 to v3

The v3 API is significantly different from v2 (all for the greater good!). So if you’re upgrading to v3, make sure to read the changelog.

## Library files

The lib folder includes all the compiled files and a compressed folder with the minified counter-parts. These files are all generated from the _raw/lib folder using Grunt.

Pickers

There are currently two pickers: date and time.

File	Contents	Size (min & gzip)
picker.js	Base *	1.58kb
picker.date.js	Date picker	2.45kb
picker.time.js	Time picker	1.81kb

* The base script is required for any of the pickers to function.

To support old browsers, namely IE8, also include the legacy.js file.

Themes

All themes are generated using LESS and compiled into the lib/themes folder.

File	Contents	Size (min & gzip)
default.css	Base default *	0.47kb
default.date.css	Default date picker	0.71kb
default.time.css	Default time picker	0.35kb
classic.css	Base classic *	0.37kb
classic.date.css	Classic date picker	0.71kb
classic.time.css	Classic time picker	0.35kb
rtl.css	RTL language stylings **	0.10kb

* One and only one base stylesheet is required. Choose a theme then include the respective pickers as well.

** For languages with text flowing from right-to-left, also include the rtl.css stylesheet.

Translations

The translations are copied into the lib/translations folder. There are currently 37 languages included.

## Building with Grunt

Grunt ~0.4.2 is used to build the project files. To get started, clone the project and then run:

• npm install to get the required node modules.
• grunt --verbose to confirm you have all the dependencies.

Read the Gruntfile to see the build tasks and relative directories of the source files.

## Styling with LESS

The picker themes are built using LESS with Grunt. To customize the CSS output, read the _variables.less file in the _raw/lib/themes folder. You can specify:

• colors for the theme,
• sizes for the picker,
• media-query breakpoints,
• and a whole bunch of other stuff.

After making any changes, run grunt less:themes to compile it into CSS.

## Versioning

To maintain some consistency in the sort of changes to expect with version bumps, Semantic Versioning guidelines will now be followed as closely as possible:

<major>.<minor>.<patch>

Constructed as such:

• major: breaks backward compatibility (resets the minor and patch)
• minor: new additions with backward compatibility (resets the patch)
• patch: bug fixes and misc changes
