inline_date: Inline date input with calendar

In inshiny: Compact Inline Widgets for 'shiny' Apps

Inline date input with calendar

Description

A date input with a calendar pop-up similar to shiny::dateInput() that can be included in an inline() wrapper.

Usage

inline_date(
  id,
  value = NULL,
  min = NULL,
  max = NULL,
  placeholder = "Enter date",
  meaning = NULL,
  format = "yyyy-mm-dd",
  startview = "month",
  weekstart = 0,
  language = "en",
  autoclose = TRUE,
  datesdisabled = NULL,
  daysofweekdisabled = NULL
)

Arguments

id	The input slot that will be used to access the value.
value	The initially selected date. Either a Date object; a character string in "yyyy-mm-dd" format (not in the calendar's display format); or NULL to use the current date in the client's time zone.
min, max	The minimum and maximum allowed date. Either a Date object, a character string in "yyyy-mm-dd" format, or NULL for no limit.
placeholder	The character string or HTML element that will appear in the textbox when it is empty, as a prompt.
meaning	A descriptive label, for people using assistive technology such as screen readers.
format	The format of the date to display in the browser; defaults to "yyyy-mm-dd". Note that this is only for display purposes. Changing the display format does not allow you to specify value, min, max, or datesdisabled in that format; those have to stay formatted as "yyyy-mm-dd" or as Date objects. See shiny::dateInput for format details.
startview	The view shown when the textbox is first clicked. Can be "month", the default, for the usual monthly calendar view, "year", or "decade".
weekstart	Which day is the start of the week; an integer from 0 (Sunday) to 6 (Saturday).
language	The language used for month and day names, with "en" (English) as the default. See shiny::dateInput for options.
autoclose	Whether to close the calendar once a date has been selected.
datesdisabled	Dates that should be disabled (a character or Date vector). Strings should be in the "yyyy-mm-dd" format.
daysofweekdisabled	Days of the week that should be disabled; an integer vector in which 0 is Sunday, and 6 is Saturday.

Value

An inline widget to be included in an inline() wrapper.
