Lightweight Accessible Datetime Picker Web Component – Aeon

Aeon is a lightweight, accessible, themeable, multilingual, progressively enhanced, framework-agnostic date & time picker web component for the web.

  <input
    type="date"
    value="2023-04-17"
  />
  <input type="time" value="12:00" />
</aeon-datepicker>

3. Available props to customize the date picker.

• default-date: initial date
• default-time: initial time
• start-day: 0 – Sunday, 1 – Monday
• start-year: start year
• end-year: end year
• confirm-on-date: auto close the picker interface when a date is selected

• date-style: config date styles

<aeon-datepicker
  id="datepicker"
  locale="en-us"
  default-date="2023-04-18"
