**NOTE:** this module provides a picker for `DateField` only. If you require a picker which is capable of time input (and hence supports `DatetimeField` and `TimeField`), please consider using the [SilverWare Calendar](https://github.com/praxisnetau/silverware-calendar) module instead.

A polyfill module for the [SilverStripe v4](https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-framework) `DateField` class to show a datepicker in browsers which do not yet support the HTML5 date input.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- [SilverStripe Framework v4](https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-framework)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Installation is via [Composer](https://getcomposer.org):

```
$ composer require silverware/datepicker

```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

As with all SilverStripe modules, configuration is via YAML. Extensions to `LeftAndMain` are applied via `config.yml`. You may also include the bundle files in your theme to make use of the polyfill in forms.

You can configure a default format and polyfill setting for `DateField` in the YAML:

```
SilverStripe\Forms\DateField:
  default_datepicker_format: d MMM yyyy
  default_datepicker_polyfill: all
```

The configuration option `default_datepicker_format` is a standard [CLDR date format](http://cldr.unicode.org/translation/date-time) which will be applied by default to all `DateField` instances using the datepicker.

The configuration option `default_datepicker_polyfill` determines the default polyfill mode for `DateField` instances, and will force the polyfill to be used on the specified device. Possible values are: `desktop`, `mobile`, `all`, and `none`.

You can override these defaults on a per-instance basis of `DateField` by using the following methods:

```
$field = DateField::create('MyDate', 'Date');
$field->setDatepickerFormat('d/MM/yyyy');
$field->setDatepickerPolyfill('mobile');
```

Customisation
-------------

[](#customisation)

To customise the appearance of the date picker, first install the frontend dependencies with Yarn (or NPM):

```
$ cd silverware-datepicker
$ yarn install

```

Make your required changes to `_variables.scss` in the `client/src/styles` folder. Once you've customised the variables, you'll need to compile the source files.

This module uses [webpack](https://webpack.js.org) for compiling and bundling frontend assets. A configuration file is provided with the repo to allow you to get up and running straight away. To have webpack watch your files and compile automatically, run:

```
$ yarn watch

```

When your customisations are ready for production, you may run the following to optimise the bundle files:

```
$ yarn build

```
