Pikaday is a lightweight JavaScript datepicker widget and dependency-free UI component. It provides a graphical calendar interface for selecting dates that binds to form fields without requiring external libraries or frameworks.
The project features a localizable calendar interface, allowing for the customization of month names, weekday labels, and regional text directions to support multiple languages. Its programmable API manages input formatting and selection restrictions.
The tool covers a broad range of date selection capabilities, including date input validation, range restrictions, and custom date formatting. It also provides a system for event handling and programmatic visibility management to control when the calendar appears or disappears on the screen.
