The coolest prototype calendar ever

Roberto has been doing amazing things with calendars these days. With current loom trunk, this java attribute:

@Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
@DateValidation(minValue="today + 1d", maxValue="today + 1y")
private Date start;

With this javascript code:

// create calendar
$$('input.date, input.dateTime').each( loom.ui.createCalendar, {});

Renders this absolute piece of awesomeness:

• Dates before today and after one year (from today) are disabled, as specified by @DateValidation. As always, the server side will use the same constraints.


• The use of @Temporal (the standard JPA annotation) triggers the interface to ask for date and time. The default would only ask for a date.


• It uses the same attributes (min, max) and format (ISO-8601) specified by the HTML 5 draft, which should help replacing it when browser support arrives by 2025 :)


• Full implementation of the PHP strftime format.

Other use cases may be tested here, as the javascript library can be used standalone without loom.

MY PRECIOUSSSSSSSSS...

UPDATE: The calendar has been included in the 1.0 release. Just download the jar file, uncompress, and look inside the js folder.
UPDATE 2: As of loom 1.1 we have added a loom-javascript.zip file which includes just the javascript and css files. To use it, just take a look at the included html test files. They are not pretty, but should indicate a clear way to use the components.
