    Library files

    The lib folder includes the library files with a compressed folder containing the minified counter-parts. These files are minified using Grunt.

    Pickers

    There are three picker files:

    • picker.js The core file (required before any other picker)
    • picker.date.js The date picker
    • picker.time.js The time picker

    To support old browsers, namely IE8, also include the legacy.js file.

    Themes

    All themes are generated using LESS and compiled from the lib/themes-source folder into the lib/themes folder.

    There are two themes:

    • default.css The default modal-style theme
    • classic.css The classic dropdown-style theme

    Based on the theme, pick the relevant picker styles:

    • default.date.css and default.time.css when using the default theme
    • classic.date.css and classic.time.css when using the classic theme

    ** For languages with text flowing from right-to-left, also include the rtl.css stylesheet.

    Translations

    The translations live in the lib/translations folder. There are currently 43 language translations included.


    Building with Grunt

    Grunt ~0.4.5 is used to build the project files. To get started, clone the project and then run:

    • npm install to get the required node modules.
    • grunt test --verbose to confirm you have all the dependencies.

    Type out grunt --help to see a list of all the tasks available. The generally used tasks are:

    • grunt develop compiles the LESS files and watches for any source changes.
    • grunt package compiles and then minifies the source files.
    • grunt test tests the entire package.


    Styling with LESS

    The picker themes are built using LESS with Grunt. To customize the CSS output, read the _variables.less file in the lib/themes-source folder. You can specify:

    • colors for the theme,
    • sizes for the picker,
    • media-query breakpoints,
    • and a whole bunch of other stuff.

    Make sure to run the grunt develop task before making any changes to compile it into CSS.
