DatePicker: offer updating disabled dates and days through widgetVar

I’m using disabled dates based on a database query. I’ve chosen to only fetch the available dates based on the currently visible month. I was planning to use the viewChange listener to fetch available dates again when the view changes. The listener is called, but the component does not (re)read the disabled dates list. I tried updating the component, but that will cause the popup to close.

I would be nice if we could use something similar to the LazyScheduleModel and keep the number of requests limited.

Why not in your viewChange use oncomplete='javascript() to update the DatePicker’s internal disabledDates array.

if (this.options.disabledDates) {
                for (var i = 0; i < this.options.disabledDates.length; i++) {
                    this.options.disabledDates[i] = this.parseOptionValue(this.options.disabledDates[i]);
                }
            }

That is what controls the disabled dates in the drawing of the component. Or you could try this in the oncomplete

widget.jq.datePicker('_setInitValues');

That would reinitialize all the init values like disabledDates.

If you can figure it out i would create a new issue and PR.
