Datepicker bootstrap - input_append about bootstrap-datepicker-rails HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi,

This datepicker makes no decision on the selector you can use to activate it. You can use '.datepicker' or 'data-behaviour=datepicker', the decision is yours.

$('.datepicker').datepicker({
    "format": "dd/mm/yyyy", 
    "weekStart": 1, 
    "language": '#{locale}',
    "autoclose": true
  });

There you are using '.datepicker', so there is no need to use 'data-behaviour=datepicker'.

So, once you just use '.datepicker', does it work correctly?

You're right, using only the class selector it works.

I made a generic callback function for all my pickers this way:

$('.datepicker').datepicker({
    "format": "dd/mm/yyyy", 
    "weekStart": 1, 
    "language": '#{locale}',
    "autoclose": true
  }).on('changeDate', function(ev){
      $(this).parent().children('input').attr('value',$(this).data('date'));
      $(this).datepicker('hide');
    });

Thank you!
;)

Excellent :)

You may want to use the datepicker elsewhere and not have that behaviour. Perhaps you could keep more generic, like this:

$('.datepicker').datepicker({
    "format": "dd/mm/yyyy", 
    "weekStart": 1, 
    "language": '#{locale}',
    "autoclose": true
  }
);

$(document).on('changeDate', '.datepicker.another_selector', function(){
  $(this).parent().children('input').attr('value',$(this).data('date'));
  $(this).datepicker('hide');
});
