Basic Multilingual Calendar & Date Picker Plugin For jQuery

A small jQuery plugin to create a basic yet customizable calendar widget where you can customize the month names and trigger an event when a date is selected.

1. Load the calendar plugin's JavaScript and CSS files in the HTML document. Make sure you also add the latest jQuery JavaScript library.

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.slim.min.js" 
        integrity="sha384-q8i/X+965DzO0rT7abK41JStQIAqVgRVzpbzo5smXKp4YfRvH+8abtTE1Pi6jizo" 
        crossorigin="anonymous">
</script>
<script src="jquery.calendar.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="jquery.calendar.css">

2. Call the function on document ready to generate a default calendar inside a container you specify.

<div id="example">
  
</div>

$(function () {
  $('#example').calendar();
});

3. Localize the month names.

$(function () {
  $('#example').calendar({
    months: ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec']
  });
});

4. Localize the names of the days of the week.

$(function () {
  $('#example').calendar({
    days: ['Mon', 'Tue', 'Wed', 'Thu', 'Fri', 'Sat', 'Sun']
  });
});

5. Customize the primary color of the calendar.

$(function () {
  $('#example').calendar({
    color: '#ff0000'
  });
});

6. Get the slected date using the onSelect callback.

$(function () {
  $('#example').calendar({
    onSelect: function (event) {
      $('.output').text(event.label);
    }
  });
});
