Properties

| Property | Attribute | Type | Default | Description |
| ----------------------- | ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| allowInput | allowInput | boolean | false | Allows the user to enter a date directly input the input field. By default, direct entry is disabled. |
| altFormat | altFormat | string | "F j, Y" | Exactly the same as date format, but for the altInput field |
| altInput | altInput | boolean | false | Show the user a readable date (as per altFormat), but return something totally different to the server. |
| altInputClass | altInputClass | string | "" | This class will be added to the input element created by the altInput option.
Note that altInput already inherits classes from the original input. |
| ariaDateFormat | ariaDateFormat | string | "F j, Y" | Defines how the date will be formatted in the aria-label for calendar days, using the same tokens as dateFormat.
If you change this, you should choose a value that will make sense if a screen reader reads it out loud |
| clickOpens | clickOpens | boolean | true | Whether clicking on the input should open the picker.
You could disable this if you wish to open the calendar manually with.open() |
| dateFormat | dateFormat | string | "Y-m-d" | A string of characters which are used to define how the date will be displayed in the input box. |
| defaultDate | defaultDate | DateOption \| DateOption[] | | Sets the initial selected date(s).

If you're using mode: "multiple" or a range calendar supply an Array of
Date objects or an Array of date strings which follow your dateFormat.

Otherwise, you can supply a single Date object or a date string. |
| defaultHour | defaultHour | number | 12 | Initial value of the hour element. |
| defaultMinute | defaultMinute | number | 0 | Initial value of the minute element. |
| disable | disable | DateLimit[] | [] | Dates selected to be unavailable for selection. |
| disableMobile | disableMobile | boolean | false | Set disableMobile to true to always use the non-native picker.
By default, flatpickr utilizes native datetime widgets unless certain options (e.g. disable) are used. |
| enable | enable | DateLimit[] | [] | Dates selected to be available for selection. |
| enableSeconds | enableSeconds | boolean | false | Enables seconds in the time picker |
| enableTime | enableTime | boolean | false | Enables time picker |
| formatDateFn | formatDateFn | ((date: Date, format: string, locale: Locale) => string) \| undefined | | Allows using a custom date formatting function instead of the built-in
handling for date formats using dateFormat, altFormat, etc.

Function format: (date: Date, format: string, locale: Locale) => string |
| hourIncrement | hourIncrement | number | 1 | Adjusts the step for the hour input (incl. scrolling) |
| inline | inline | boolean | false | Displays the calendar inline |
| maxDate | maxDate | string \| number \| Date \| undefined | | The maximum date that a user can pick to (inclusive). |
| minDate | minDate | string \| number \| Date \| undefined | | The minimum date that a user can pick to (inclusive). |
| minuteIncrement | minuteIncrement | number | 5 | Adjusts the step for the minute input (incl. scrolling) |
| mode | mode | "single" \| "multiple" \| "range" | "single" | "single", "multiple", or "range" |
| nextArrow | nextArrow | string | ">" | HTML for the arrow icon, used to switch months. |
| noCalendar | noCalendar | boolean | false | Hides the day selection in calendar.
Use it along with enableTime to create a time picker. |
| onChange | onChange | Hook \| undefined | | Function(s) to trigger on every date selection |
| onClose | onClose | Hook \| undefined | | Function(s) to trigger every time the calendar is closed |
| onMonthChange | onMonthChange | Hook \| undefined | | Function(s) to trigger every time the calendar month is changed by the user or programmatically |
| onOpen | onOpen | Hook \| undefined | | Function(s) to trigger every time the calendar is opened |
| onReady | onReady | Hook \| undefined | | Function(s) to trigger when the calendar is ready |
| onValueUpdate | onValueUpdate | Hook \| undefined | | Function(s) to trigger when the input value is updated with a new date string |
| onYearChange | onYearChange | Hook \| undefined | | Function(s) to trigger every time the calendar year is changed by the user or programmatically |
| parseDateFn | parseDateFn | ((date: string, format: string) => Date) \| undefined | | Function that expects a date string and must return a Date object.

Function format: (date: string, format: string) => string |
| position | position | "auto" \| "above" \| "below" | "auto" | Where the calendar is rendered relative to the input |
| prevArrow | prevArrow | string | "<" | HTML for the arrow icon, used to switch months. |
| shorthandCurrentMonth | shorthandCurrentMonth | boolean | false | Show the month using the shorthand version (ie, Sep instead of September) |
| showMonths | showMonths | number | 1 | The number of months showed |
| static | static | boolean | false | Position the calendar inside the wrapper and next to the input element |
| theme | theme | "light" \| "dark" \| "material_blue" \| "material_red" \| "material_green" \| "material_orange" \| "airbnb" \| "confetti" \| "none" | "light" | The set theme of flatpickr. Use "none" if you would like to provide custom theme on your own. |
| time_24hr | time_24hr | boolean | false | Displays the time picker in 24 hour mode without AM/PM selection when enabled |
| weekNumbers | weekNumbers | boolean | false | Enabled display of week numbers in calendar |
| wrap | wrap | boolean | false | flatpickr can parse an input group of textboxes and buttons, common in Bootstrap and other frameworks.
