Quick Start

In this quick start, you'll learn how to add the DatePager widget to an HTML project using HTML markup and jQuery script.

To create a new HTML page in your favorite text editor, add the following code and save the document with an .html extension.
Drop down and copy markup
Paste in your favorite text editor.
Copy Code

<!DOCTYPE HTML> <HTML> <head> </head> <body> </body> </HTML>

Paste in your favorite text editor.	Copy Code
<!DOCTYPE HTML> <HTML> <head> </head> <body> </body> </HTML>

Add links to the dependencies to your HTML page within the <head> tags. Find the latest dependencies in the content delivery network (CDN) file at wijmo cdn. It also adds globalization references, required to change the widget's culture.

Add the following markup within the <body> tags to create the widget. The <div> element creates the widget, and we call its id attribute in jQuery to initialize it.
Drop down and copy markup to paste inside the body tags
Markup
Copy Code

<div id="datepager" style="margin-top:20px"></div>

Markup	Copy Code
<div id="datepager" style="margin-top:20px"></div>

Within the <head> tags, below the references, add the following script to initialize the widget and customize it. The script sets the viewType option so that a week is displayed instead of the default day, it changes the firstDayOfWeek to Monday rather than Sunday, sets the selected date to May 23, 2015, and the culture to German.

Note: The month value in the selectedDate option is zero-based.

Script	Copy Code
<script type="text/javascript"> requirejs.config({ baseUrl: "http://cdn.wijmo.com/amd-js/3.20161.90", paths: { "jquery": "jquery-1.11.1.min", "jquery-ui": "jquery-ui-1.11.0.custom.min", "jquery.ui": "jquery-ui", "jquery.mousewheel": "jquery.mousewheel.min", "globalize": "globalize.min", "bootstrap": "bootstrap.min", //Needed if you use Bootstrap. "knockout": "knockout-3.1.0" //Needed if you use Knockout. } }); </script> <script id="scriptInit" type="text/javascript"> require(["globalize.cultures", "wijmo.wijdatepager"], function () { $(document).ready(function () { $("#datepager").wijdatepager({ viewType: "week", firstDayOfWeek: 1, selectedDate: new Date(2015, 4, 23), culture: "de-DE" }); }); }); </script>
