# Datepicker

<!-- AURO-GENERATED-CONTENT:START (FILE:src=./docs/partials/description.md) -->
<!-- The below content is automatically added from ./docs/partials/description.md -->
The `<auro-datepicker>` element allows users to select a date, or a pair of dates identifying a range, either with text input or by making a section in a calendar. The `<auro-datepicker>` element is the combination of [auro-dropdown](http://auro.alaskaair.com/components/auro/dropdown), [auro-input](http://auro.alaskaair.com/components/auro/input), and Auro's extension of [wc-range-datepicker](https://www.npmjs.com/package/wc-range-datepicker).

## Getting Started

<!-- AURO-GENERATED-CONTENT:START (FILE:src=../../docs/templates/componentInstall.md) -->
<!-- The below content is automatically added from ../../docs/templates/componentInstall.md -->

#### NPM Installation

```shell
$ npm i @aurodesignsystem/auro-formkit
```

### TypeScript Module Resolution

When using TypeScript set `moduleResolution` to `bundler`, add the following to your `tsconfig.json`:

```json
{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "moduleResolution": "bundler"
    }
}
```

This configuration enables proper module resolution for the component's TypeScript files.

## Install from CDN

<!-- AURO-GENERATED-CONTENT:START (FILE:src=../../docs/templates/bundleInstallDescription.md) -->
<!-- The below content is automatically added from ../../docs/templates/bundleInstallDescription.md -->
In cases where the project is not able to process JS assets, there are pre-processed assets available for use. Legacy browsers such as IE11 are no longer supported.

```html
<script type="module" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@aurodesignsystem/auro-formkit@latest/auro-datepicker/+esm"></script>
```

## Formkit Development

<!-- AURO-GENERATED-CONTENT:START (FILE:src=../../docs/partials/developmentDescription.md) -->
<!-- The below content is automatically added from ../../docs/partials/developmentDescription.md -->

### Filtering

Running the `dev` command will open a `localhost` development server for all components in the monorepo at once.

To only develop a single component, use the `--filter` flag:

```shell
npx turbo dev --filter=@aurodesignsystem/auro-input
```

## Custom Component Registration for Version Management

There are two key parts to every Auro component: the <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Classes">class</a> and the custom element definition. The class defines the component’s behavior, while the custom element registers it under a specific name so it can be used in HTML.

When you install the component as described on the `Install` page, the class is imported automatically, and the component is registered globally for you.

However, if you need to load multiple versions of the same component on a single page (for example, when two projects depend on different versions), you can manually register the class under a custom element name to avoid conflicts.

You can do this by importing only the component class and using the `register(name)` method with a unique name:

```js
// Import the class only
import { AuroDatepicker } from '@aurodesignsystem/auro-formkit/auro-datepicker/class';

// Register with a custom name if desired
AuroDatepicker.register('custom-datepicker');
```

This will create a new custom element `<custom-datepicker>` that behaves exactly like `<auro-datepicker>`, allowing both to coexist on the same page without interfering with each other.

<div class="exampleWrapper exampleWrapper--flex">
  <custom-datepicker>
    <span slot="bib.fullscreen.headline">custom-datepicker Example</span>
    <span slot="fromLabel">Choose a date</span>
    <span slot="bib.fullscreen.dateLabel">Choose a date</span>
  </custom-datepicker>
</div>
<auro-accordion alignRight>
  <span slot="trigger">See code</span>

```html
  <custom-datepicker>
    <span slot="bib.fullscreen.headline">custom-datepicker Example</span>
    <span slot="fromLabel">Choose a date</span>
    <span slot="bib.fullscreen.dateLabel">Choose a date</span>
  </custom-datepicker>
```
</auro-accordion>
