Library files

The lib folder includes the library files with a compressed folder containing the minified counter-parts. These files are minified using Grunt.

Pickers

There are three picker files:

• picker.js The core file (required before any other picker)
• picker.date.js The date picker
• picker.time.js The time picker

To support old browsers, namely IE8, also include the legacy.js file.

Themes

All themes are generated using LESS and compiled from the lib/themes-source folder into the lib/themes folder.

There are two themes:

• default.css The default modal-style theme
• classic.css The classic dropdown-style theme

Based on the theme, pick the relevant picker styles:

• default.date.css and default.time.css when using the default theme
• classic.date.css and classic.time.css when using the classic theme

** For languages with text flowing from right-to-left, also include the rtl.css stylesheet.

Translations

The translations live in the lib/translations folder. There are currently 43 language translations included.

Building with Grunt

Grunt ~0.4.5 is used to build the project files. To get started, clone the project and then run:

• npm install to get the required node modules.
• grunt test --verbose to confirm you have all the dependencies.

Type out grunt --help to see a list of all the tasks available. The generally used tasks are:

• grunt develop compiles the LESS files and watches for any source changes.
• grunt package compiles and then minifies the source files.
• grunt test tests the entire package.

Styling with LESS

The picker themes are built using LESS with Grunt. To customize the CSS output, read the _variables.less file in the lib/themes-source folder. You can specify:

• colors for the theme,
• sizes for the picker,
• media-query breakpoints,
• and a whole bunch of other stuff.

Make sure to run the grunt develop task before making any changes to compile it into CSS.
