Scala.js interface to bootstrap-datepicker

This library ScalaDatepicker is a Scala interface to the bootstrap-datepicker. From reference 1: "Bootstrap-datepicker is a jQuery plugin that provides a flexible datepicker widget in the Twitter bootstrap style." This bootstrap datepicker is one of a few datepicker that allows multi-dates to be selected.

Dependencies

ScalaDatepicker version 1.1 requires Scala.js 0.6.14.

This ScalaDatepicker version 1.2 requires Scala.js 0.6.18.

The original javascript bootstrap datepicker is required.

Usage

To use ScalaDatepicker include this in your build.sbt file:

libraryDependencies += "com.github.workingDog" %%% "scaladatepicker" % "1.2"

In addition you need to include the bootstrap-datepicker and jquery in your build dependencies. Typical setup:

libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
  "com.github.workingDog" %%% "scaladatepicker" % "1.2",
  "be.doeraene" %%% "scalajs-jquery" % "0.9.1",
  "org.webjars.bower" % "bootstrap-datepicker" % "1.7.0",   
  "org.webjars" % "jquery" % "3.2.1"      
)

Then use it as follows, note the the important implicit that converts jquery to the required type:

implicit def datepickerExt(jq: JQuery): Datepicker = jq.asInstanceOf[Datepicker]

object PickerApp extends JSApp {
  def main(): Unit = {
  // ensure the dom is ready
  jQuery(dom.document).ready(() => {
    // refering to an element with id = "scalaPicker"
    val jQ = jQuery("#scalaPicker")
    // construct a datepicker with some options
    jQ.datepicker(new DatepickerOptions {
        override val todayHighlight: js.UndefOr[Boolean] = true
        override val multidate: js.UndefOr[Boolean | Int] = true
     })
    // use of a command with argument
    jQ.datepicker("setDate", "2016-10-08")
    // can also take a Date 
    jQ.datepicker("setDate", new Date(2016,10,8))
    // use of a command that returns a result
    val theDate = jQ.datepicker("getDate")
    println("theDate " + theDate)
   }
  }
}

Generally use ScalaDatepicker as you would the original bootstrap-datepicker.
