Kalendae is a dependency-free calendar library that interacts with jQuery as well.
Kalendae is a rather thorough plugin and uses moment.js for date manipulations.
The calendars created with Kalendae can be attached to any element, even an unnamed one, and is fully stylable with CSS.
Kalendae’s instances can have blacked-out dates, preselected dates, and so on; plus, the library provides a thought-out callback system that’s very useful for complex operations regarding data.
XDate is a thin wrapper around the JavaScript’s Date function.
XDate, even as seen from a brief glimpse, seems to add a lot of functionality to the native date function:
The library is also quite lightweight, at 7kb (2.9kb gzipped).
MobiPick is a jQuery mobile date picker inspired by that of Android’s devices.
Mobipick is a minuscule plugin, but has quite a few useful options: min/max datetime; default date; localized dates; etc.
The plugin is registered under the MIT license, and uses XDate for date manipulations, and Modernizr for input fields.
jquery.timepicker is a miniature time picking plugin written with jQuery.
There are countless jQuery calendar plugins, but this one is the first I’ve seen for actual time, not datetime picking.
Timepicker could prove useful for both to-do-list-like web apps and for everything else where somewhat exact timing is important.
Moment.js is a data parsing, manipulation and formatting library written for Node.js.
The library offers both data formatting for specific regions (fr, de, uk, etc.) as well as relative date/time formatting.
For example, Moment.js can tell the date that will be “18 days from now”.
Moment.js shines in its thought-through structure and numerous functions like leap year detection, et cetera.
With a handful of new extensions appearing each day, it seems that a jQuery teacup will be invented soon.
jdPicker is a jQuery date picking plugin, which you can incorporate into your forms or use for your web applications.
The extension comes with a beautiful design and a number of features that can allow you to internationalize the date picker (change date formats).
You can also change the names of the days/months according to your liking.
