This example shows a very basic and quickly put together datepicker built only with htmx. Please note that this example isn't optimized for accessibility, so don't copy as-is.
The user clicks the Pick a date button which triggers a request to render the datepicker from /datepicker.php.
The datepicker consists of two navigational buttons (previous and next month) that allows switching months. Clicking one of these buttons triggers a request to /datepicker.php but with a date added to the query string. The script uses this date to render the days for the given month and update the previous/next buttons.
Selecting a date is done by clicking one of the day-buttons. Doing so will result in a request to /datepicker.php with a picked_date. This request will only return a pre filled input for the date and uses hx-swap-oob to replace the date input-element in the form. Since the target has been set to the #datepicker-widget but there's no content the widget gets removed.
