Language translations

Foundation datepicker uses external files to store translation data. To use language, you have to include correct file from js/locales directory, then correctly initalize fdatepicker with iso code of language included.

Example of using slovak language:

<!-- somewhere in header -->
<script src="js/foundation-datepicker.js"></script>
<script src="js/locales/foundation-datepicker.sk.js"></script>
<!-- ... -->
<script>
$('.fdatepicker').fdatepicker({
  language: 'sk'
});
</script>

65 languages are available, thanks community and bootstrap-datepicker project. For complete list, see js/locales directory.

Icons

Datepicker uses three icons. It works with foundation font and font awesome out-of-the box. If you dont want to use iconic font, you can customize buttons via classes:

  • fa-chevron-right fi-arrow-right - right arrow
  • fa-remove fa-times fi-x - close sign
  • fa fa-chevron-left fi-arrow-left - left arrow

Version without Font Awesome (behind master) can be found in separate branch: https://github.com/najlepsiwebdesigner/foundation-datepicker/tree/no-font-awesome

to use foundation icon font, include:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="foundation/fonts/foundation-icons.css">

to use font-awesome, use include:
<link href="https://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.0.3/css/font-awesome.css" rel="stylesheet">

Build system

Grunt is used. grunt build compiles scss & minifies js and css. Before running, you must install local grunt and npm deps via: npm install
