v4.0.0 super early demo

Hello, you lovely people.

Version 4 is on the way! And it’s got all sorts of awesome new stuff in it. Including date ranges and using it without an input element 😄.

Another major upgrade is the picker now uses HTML Elements instead of strings to build out the templates. This results in huge performance boosts and faster rendering/paint times 👍. This also allows the opportunity to easily customize the picker’s template, for example to show two months in a view, etc.

The demo

The design is definitely not finalized, but you can take a peak here: http://jsbin.com/wanis/3/edit?html,js,output …and the source code is here: https://github.com/amsul/pickadate.js/tree/4.0.0.

I’d love to hear your thoughts!

The main things remaining are:

• Allow date ranges
• Allow multiple dates
• Allow multiple date ranges
• Allow disabling/enabling dates
• Add a method to check if a date is disabled
• Add keyboard controls
• Implement jQuery extension as closely to the current API as possible
• Finalize design
• Write documentation on new API

…and probably lots more. I’ll add more as I remember them.

#SUGGESTION: This great version would become more popular if supports more calendars; Persian Calendar (also known as Jalali) is one of them.

Maybe a flag to allow customization using only data-attributes?
