We're starting fresh under an official org. If you were using the previous npm package capacitor-datepick, please update your package.json to @capacitor-community/date-picker. Check out changelog for more info.
Using npm:
``bash`
npm install @capacitor-community/date-picker
Using yarn:
`bash`
yarn add @capacitor-community/date-picker
Sync native files:
`bash`
npx cap sync
from 2. to 3. we have some new settings.ios
You can see in definitions file, we hava the sections and android. You must change your format configs to ios and android configs.
To maintain the consistency of the community plugins, we changed the name of the variable the plugin is in. As we are experiencing a change across the capacitor plugins import ecosystem, we think this is a good opportunity to do that
Before, to use the plugin, you needed to import like this
`ts`
import '@capacitor-community/date-picker';
import { Plugins } from '@capacitor/core';
const { DatePickerPlugin } = Plugins;
Now, we not have the Plugins variable and we not register the DatePickerPlugin in Capacitor.Plugins
To use this plugin.
Now, to use this plugin, you need to do this
`ts`
import { DatePicker } from '@capacitor-community/date-picker';
You need to replace all of your code
You must also follow the guide for android.

For format, we defined the old config deprecated because we have a inconsistence between Android and iOS platforms
now you need define your forma config in android.format and ios.format
For format in iOS, you need to follow this documentation
For format in Android, you need to follow this documentation
You can define your personalized themes in android via resources styles check example app
How you see in example, just define your picker theme in global assets your app and send via android.theme prop in your capacitor.config file or your options.android.theme in present call.


`js
import { DatePicker } from '@capacitor-community/date-picker';
import type { DatePickerTheme } from '@capacitor-community/date-picker/src';
const selectedTheme: DatePickerTheme = 'light';
DatePicker.present({
mode: 'date',
locale: 'pt_BR',
date: '13/07/2019',
theme: selectedTheme,
ios: {
format: 'dd/MM/yyyy',
},
android: {
format: 'dd/MM/yyyy',
},
}).then(date => alert(date.value));
`
`json`
{
//...
"plugins": {
"DatePickerPlugin": {
"mode": "date",
"locale": "pt_BR",
"current": "13/07/2019",
"format": "dd/MM/yyyy",
"android": {
"theme": "MyCustomeTheme"
},
"ios": {
