jqueryHow do I use the jQuery UI Datepicker?

The jQuery UI Datepicker is a popular and widely used plugin that allows users to select a date from an interactive calendar. To use the Datepicker, you must include the jQuery UI library and its associated CSS file on your webpage:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.12.1/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css">
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>

Then, you can initialize the Datepicker using the datepicker() method on a jQuery selection. The following example will create a Datepicker on the #datepicker element:

$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker();

The Datepicker can be customized using a range of options, methods, and events. These include:

• minDate and maxDate: set the minimum and maximum selectable dates.
• dateFormat: set the format of the returned date string.
• onSelect: a callback function that is triggered when a date is selected.
• hide and show: methods that can be used to hide and show the Datepicker.

For more information, see the jQuery UI Datepicker documentation.
