Kalendae - new javascript utility for calendars

By Anatoly Mironov

An alternative to jQuery UI datepicker is Kalendae. (MIT License). Highly customizable and no dependencies to other javascript libraries. Here is the highlights:

Kalendae is an attempt to do something that nobody has yet been able to do: make a date picker that doesn’t suck. Kalendae provides the following features:

  1. Fully portable, no dependencies. No jQuery, no Prototype, no MooTools; just add the script and the stylesheet and you’re good to go.
  2. Fully and easily skinable. The default theme uses only one image file (a mask for the previous and next buttons), everything else is styled using CSS.
  3. Supports all modern browsers and IE8.
  4. Support single day, multiple day, or day range selection.
  5. Configurable number of months to be displayed at once.
  6. Can be displayed on the page as an inline widget, or attached to one or more input fields as a popup control.
  7. Can be attached to any page element, not just named elements.
  8. Configurable blackouts, defined either as an array of dates or via a callback function
  9. Output selected dates in a variety of formats
  10. Leverages moment.js for smart and easy date parsing.
