Question 1

How do I change the date format in vue-datepicker?

Accepted Answer

Use the 'format' prop with tokens like YYYY-MM-DD; the README provides a full table of format options to customize how dates are displayed in the input and picker.

Question 2

Is vue-datepicker compatible with Vue 3?

Accepted Answer

No, it's only compatible with Vue 2.x, so if you're using Vue 3, you'll need to find a different datepicker component or use a fork that has been updated.

Question 3

Vue Datepicker vs V-Calendar: which should I use?

Accepted Answer

Vue Datepicker offers deep customization but is unmaintained, while V-Calendar is actively maintained and supports Vue 3, though with different features; consider your project's longevity and Vue version.

Question 4

How to add a custom language locale in vue-datepicker?

Accepted Answer

Provide a locale object with properties like name, weekdays, and months as shown in the Translations section; you can even use dayjs locales for broader language support.

Question 5

Can I use vue-datepicker for datetime selection?

Accepted Answer

No, it only supports date, month, and quarter types; for datetime picking, you'd need to combine it with a time input or look for a dedicated datetime picker component.

Question 6

Why is my vue-datepicker not showing correctly on mobile?

Accepted Answer

Ensure the 'fullscreenMobile' prop is enabled and check for CSS conflicts; the mobile mode is designed to switch to a bottom sheet for better touch usability.

Question 7

What are good alternatives to vue-datepicker since it's not maintained?

Accepted Answer

Consider actively maintained libraries like V-Calendar, Element UI's datepicker, or Vue 3-compatible options such as Vue Date Picker from other repositories, which offer similar features with ongoing support.
