Firing change event

[justinperkins]

Currently when the date value is assigned, no change event is fired, which means that when you've got custom event listeners for change events, they won't fire when a date in the picker is chosen.

Hi @justinperkins

Did you manage to get this working? 🤔

I did actually, through looking at the Flowbite datepicker source code I found that a custom event is emitted on the related input control, so you can use that to trigger custom code when a date is chosen.

Basically, if you observe for the changeDate event on your input, it will be fired when a date is chosen in the Flowbite datapicker UI.

Related Flowvite JS here:

flowbite-datepicker/js/Datepicker.js

Line 110 in 658b8cc

triggerDatepickerEvent(datepicker, 'changeDate');
