JavaScript calendar

With the new features of javascript calendar it is possible to explore this column editor to create advance calendar rules, and bring a better user experience, for instance:

  • Create a range of valid dates from one column based on the values of another
  • Create a year and month picker only
  • Explore events to change other column values
  • Integrate the calendar with other applications through jspreadsheet events
  • Define several different date formats with new valid tokens

The example below shows how to use the calendar column type, with a rule where the second calendar column cannot be greater than the first.

NOTE The filter argument creates a validRange option based on the previous column value. The onbeforechange behavior blocks the user to paste or programmaticaly overwrite the rule.
