    • input box and input box controls (bootstrap 4 and font-awesome example)
  • 50 options
    • change value of any option dynamically
• well tested
  • coverage report
  • most of the codes are from the existing libraries which are widely used

1. npm install angular-mydatepicker --save

2. Add AngularMyDatePickerModule import to your @NgModule as follows:

   import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
   import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
   import { FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
   import { AngularMyDatePickerModule } from 'angular-mydatepicker';
   
   @NgModule({
     declarations: [
       AppComponent
     ],
     imports: [
       BrowserModule, 
       ReactiveFormsModule, 
       FormsModule, 
       AngularMyDatePickerModule
     ],

Visible month/year when calendar is opened:

• If date is already selected => calendar opens to the month and the year of the selected date

  • If an overrideSelection property is set to true in the IMyDefaultMonth the calendar opens to the month and the year specified in the the defaultMonth attribute even the date is selected.
• If the defaultMonth is set => calendar opens to the month and the year specified in the the defaultMonth attribute
• If none of above => calendar opens to the month and the year of current date

Value of the defaultMonth attribute can be:

• IMyDefaultMonth object. The value of defMonth property can be a string which contain year number and month number separated by delimiter. The delimiter can be any special character. For example: 08-2019 or 08/2019.
• a string which contain year number and month number separated by delimiter. The delimiter can be any special character. For example: 08-2019 or 08/2019.
