-> disable_mobile
By default, flatpickr is disabled on mobile 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.
