The Date field may be used to display date values.

field :birthday,
  as: :date,
  first_day_of_week: 1,
  picker_format: "F J Y",
  format: "yyyy-LL-dd",
  placeholder: "Feb 24th 1955"

Options

-> format

Format the date shown to the user on the `Index` and `Show` views.

Default

yyyy-LL-dd

Possible values

Use luxon formatting tokens.

-> picker_format

Format the date shown to the user on the `Edit` and `New` views.

Default

Y-m-d

Possible values

Use flatpickr formatting tokens.

-> picker_options;

Passes the options here to [flatpickr](https://flatpickr.js.org/).

Default

{}

Possible values

Use flatpickr options.

WARNING

These options may override other options like picker_options.

-> first_day_of_week

Set which should be the first date of the week in the picker calendar. Flatpickr [documentation](https://flatpickr.js.org/localization/) on that. 1 is Monday, and 7 is Sunday.

Default value

1

Possible values

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7

-> disable_mobile

By default, flatpickr is [disabled on mobile](https://flatpickr.js.org/mobile-support/) because the mobile date pickers tend to give a better experience, but you can override that using `disable_mobile: true` (misleading to set it to `true`, I know. We're just forwarding the option). So that will override that behavior and display flatpickr on mobile devices too.

Default value

false

Possible values

true, false
