-> picker_format

Use flatpickr formatting tokens.

-> picker_options;

Passes the options here to flatpickr.

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 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 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
