Using this package you can add a beautiful date or datetime picker into your project without touching any javascript with the power or laravel component. It is just a laravel component wrapper for the Flatpickr javascript library.

You can install the package via composer:
composer require asdh/laravel-flatpickrYou can publish the config file with:
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="flatpickr-config"You can publish the assets with:
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="flatpickr-assets"This is the contents of the published config file:
return [
/**
* The url to be used to serve css file.
* If null, it will use the one shipped with package.
*/
'css_url' => env('FLATPICKR_CSS_URL', null),
/**
* The url to be used to serve js file.
* If null, it will use the one shipped with package.
*/
'js_url' => env('FLATPICKR_JS_URL', null),
/**
* Determines if the styles shipped with the package should be used.
* Setting it to false will remove the styling for the component.
* The flatpickr css will be untouched.
*/
'use_style' => env('FLATPICKR_USE_STYLE', true),
/**
* The language that flatpickr will use.
* If no value is passed, it will be the default one.
*/
'locale' => env('FLATPICKR_LOCALE', null),
];You need to include the css and js that ships with the package in your html or blade file.
Include this style at the head section of your page:
@include('flatpickr::components.style')Or you can use laravel blade component syntax:
<x-flatpickr::style />If you want to use different url for the css then you can change it from the .env file:
FLATPICKR_CSS_URL=https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/flatpickr/4.6.9/flatpickr.min.cssYou can even change the url from the component itself:
<x-flatpickr::style
url="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/flatpickr/4.6.9/flatpickr.min.css"
/>The url passed form the component will take more priority over the config file.
Similarly include this script at the bottom of your page:
@include('flatpickr::components.script')Or you can use laravel blade component syntax:
<x-flatpickr::script />If you want to use different url for the js then you can change it from the .env file:
FLATPICKR_JS_URL=https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/flatpickr/4.6.9/flatpickr.min.jsYou can even change the url from the component itself:
<x-flatpickr::script
url="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/flatpickr/4.6.9/flatpickr.min.js"
/>The url passed form the component will take more priority over the config file.
If you want to use a different locale then you can change it from the .env file:
FLATPICKR_LOCALE=deYou can see the available locales from here.
Add it to your page.
<x-flatpickr />Yes, it's that simple. Now you have a beautiful looking date picker in your page without touching a single javascript at all.
I have made different props for this component that will be converted into the config options of the flatpickr. Make sure to look into the config options of the flatpickr.
Most of the description of the props written here are taken from the flatpickr documentation page.
Type: string
Set the id of the component. It will apply id to the underlying input tag. If no id is provided, it will use the autogenerated id.
Example:
<x-flatpickr id="laravel-flatpickr" />Type: string
A string of characters which are used to define how the date will be displayed in the input box. Please check the flatpickr documentation page for the supported characters. By default the date format is Y-m-d but you can change it to other formats to like d/m/Y.
Example:
<x-flatpickr date-format="d/m/Y" />Type: string
Exactly the same as date format, but for the altInput field. If you want different format to be visible for the user then you can use this. By default it will use the same format as that of dateFormat.
Example:
<x-flatpickr alt-format="F j, Y" />Type: string|Carbon
The minimum date that a user can start picking from.
You can pass a Carbon instance or a date format in string that is supported by Carbon or DateTime.
Example:
<x-flatpickr min-date="2022-02-13" />
OR
<x-flatpickr :min-date="today()" />
OR
<x-flatpickr :min-date="\Carbon\Carbon::parse('2022-02-13')" />Type: string|Carbon

Shows the time picker.
Example:
<x-flatpickr show-time />Type: string

<x-flatpickr show-time time-format="h:i" />When you use show-time prop with alt-format, make sure to write both date and time format in the alt-format like this:
Example:
<x-flatpickr show-time time-format="h:i" alt-format="F j, Y, H:i" />Type: string
The minimum time that a user can start picking from.
