Parsing

You can pass the parse function to VaDateInput which will parse input text like you want to. This way you can use any format that you want. For example, you can use date-fns to parse date string. By default we parse this input using standard Date.parse method.

createApp(App)
  .use(createVuestic({
    config: {
      icons: [ /* ... */ ],
      components: {
        VaDateInput: {
          formatDate: (date) => {
            // ...
          },
          parseDate: (str) => {
            // ...
          }
        }
      },
      colors: { /* ... */ },
    },
  }))
  .mount('#app')

Validation
#

Validation works the same way as VaInput validation, except rules functions should accept Date instead of string.

Mode
#

You can use date input in three different ways. By default date input uses auto mode. This means that mode will be chosen based on modelValue. There is three modes: single, multiple and range. Different modes require different model values.
