Plugins support?

[khalilgharbaoui]

How can we add support for these plugins?

https://flatpickr.js.org/plugins/#rangeplugin-beta

https://github.com/flatpickr/flatpickr/tree/master/src/plugins

I kind of solved it by importing for example the rangePlugin from flatpicker plugins folder:

 import rangePlugin from 'flatpickr/dist/plugins/rangePlugin.js'

And i used it in the config:

connect(){
  this.config = {
      mode: 'range', 
      plugins: [new rangePlugin({ input: "#secondRangeInput"})]
    }
  super.connect()
}

and then in the view i did:

<%= text_field_tag :starts_at, nil,
      placeholder: 'select',
      data: {
       // ...
        controller: 'flatpickr',
        flatpickr_mode: 'range',
       // ...
      } %>
<%= text_field_tag :ends_at, nil, id: 'secondRangeInput' %>

It works but i feel this should be part of the stimulus-flatpicker's api without having to import stuff.

Thanks,

Hello

I haven’t documented this yet but what you ended up doing is how I would do it.
I am afraid that importing all plugins into the stimulus-flatpickr wrapper would increase the size with lots of unnecessary stuff.
Tree shaking would probably work for this but not everyone is using bundlers with tree shaking
