v6-alpha1

[Eonasdan]

This is the first alpha release of version 6! There still some work to do around the documentation and I need to do some additional testing but it seems to work well enough.

This discussion was created from the release v6-alpha1.

Is there a way to view the v6 documentation/examples via the web?

Ooooo, that might be popper. I thought I had that already with Bootstrap 5, but maybe not....

[nickalbrecht]

Ok, so Popper bundled with Bootstrap 5 doesn't seem to work. They must scope it to the internals of Bootstrap or something. Works once I reference Popper from the CDN though

[Eonasdan]

Yeah the bundle file grabs the bootstrap js, popper and doc related js files.

[nickalbrecht]

Ok, so if I'm starting from a clean slate, to use the TempusDominus date picker, then I need its JS and CSS files, as well as Popper. That's fine.

If I'm implementing TempusDominus into an existing site that is already using Bootstrap bundled with Popper, do I still need the stand alone Popper asset in addition to the TempusDominus JS and CSS?

Otherwise I'm guessing it'd be better to flip my Bootstrap reference to be the non-bundled version, then explicitly include popper for both Bootstrap and TempusDominus to use.

I would think that the bootstrap bundle should work but I haven't tried it. Bootstrap 5 switched to popper v2 which I'm also using. I have a backlog item to see if popper v1 could still work for those on bootstrap 4/3. Ideally, I'd like to get to a point where there's just a config swap over for people using the older version.

Otherwise, yes from a clean starting point you need the TD js and css file. If you need jQuery there's a separate wrapper for that.

If you zoom all the way out using the picker switch to get to the 2000-2090 level, then click on any of the options (like 2020), the options on the next level start too high. For example, choosing 2020, gives me year options from 2025 to 2035. No way to get back to 2020.

I also can't seem to get the picker to respect the initial value of the input element if it has a value already

[Eonasdan]

Thanks for reporting this. I made some changes to how the grids work so I must have done something silly there.

Would you be some kind as to open two issues for these items so I can track them better?

[nickalbrecht]

Done and done.

Hi @Eonasdan, I have checked docs but couldn't find anything related. Is v6 will support WCAG2.1? In other words will it be an accessible tool?

Tracking with #2390
