Date

Renders a date picker.

Field::make( 'date', 'crb_event_start_date', __( 'Event Start Date' ) )

Config methods

set_attribute( $name, $value = '' )

Sets a direct attribute of the resulting <input> field. Can only be one of the following: 'placeholder' and 'data-*'.

Field::make( 'date', 'crb_event_start_date', __( 'Event Start Date' ) )
    ->set_attribute( 'placeholder', __( 'Date of event start' ) );

set_storage_format( $storage_format )

Set the format which should be used to save date values in the database with. Defaults to Y-m-d.

Field::make( 'date', 'crb_event_start_date', __( 'Event Start Date' ) )
    ->set_storage_format( 'Y-m-d' );

set_input_format( $php_format, $js_format )

Set the format which should be used to enter values in the administration. Note that you should specify the format in both PHP and JS variants (i.e. they should be translations of each other). The JS format used is Flatpickr's (opens new window). Separating storage and input formats makes it possible for editors to use 12/31/2017 11:30 PM dates while the database stores 2017-12-31 23:30:00 behind the scenes.

Field::make( 'date', 'crb_event_start_date', __( 'Event Start Date' ) )
    ->set_input_format( 'F Y', 'M Y' );

!> Note that the specified format doesn't affect the returned value when using carbon_get_* functions. If you need to display the value in a different format, you will still need to use PHP Date (opens new window) functions.

set_picker_options( $options )

Set an associative array with your preferred options (opens new window).

Field::make( 'date', 'crb_event_start_date', __( 'Event Start Date' ) )
    ->set_picker_options( array(
    	'weekNumbers' => true,
    ) );
