Usage

Once the plugin is installed, you can use it by configuring Flatpickr with the plugin options.

`
var fp = flatpickr("#myDatePicker", {
// other Flatpickr options
plugins: [fastselectPlugin()],
});
`
The predefined shortcuts allow quick selection of common dates like "Today", "Tomorrow", "Next week", "Next month" and "Next year". When a shortcut is clicked, the corresponding date will be selected.
You can also customize the shortcuts and their actions by passing a configuration object to the plugin.

`
var fp = flatpickr("#myDatePicker", {
// other Flatpickr options
plugins: [new fastselectPlugin({
shortcut: [
{ text: 'Last year', value: [ new Date(new Date().getTime() - 365 24 60 60 1000) ] },
{ text: 'Last month', value: [ new Date(new Date().getTime() - 30 24 60 60 1000) ] },
{ text: 'Last week', value: [ new Date(new Date().getTime() - 7 24 60 60 1000) ] },
{ text: 'Yesterday', value: [ new Date(new Date().getTime() - 24 60 60 * 1000) ] },
{ text: 'Today', value: [ new Date(new Date()) ] },
{ text: 'Tomorrow', value: [ new Date(new Date().getTime() + 24 60 60 * 1000) ] },
// ...
],
})],
});
