Events

• The component can emit all possible events, you can listen to them in your component

<flat-pickr v-model="date" @on-change="doSomethingOnChange" @on-close="doSomethingOnClose"/>

• Event names has been converted to kebab-case.
• You can still pass your callback methods in :config like original flatpickr do.

The component accepts these props:

| Attribute | Type | Default | Description | |:----------|:-----------------------------------------------:|:----------------------------------------------:|:-----------------------------------------------------------------------| | v-model | String / Date Object / Array / Timestamp / null | null | Set or Get date-picker value (required) | | config | Object | { wrap: false } | Flatpickr configuration options | | events | Array | Array of sensible events | Customise the events to be emitted |
