Usage

Once the plugin is installed, you can use it by configuring Flatpickr with the plugin options.

var fp = flatpickr("#myDatePicker", {
  // other Flatpickr options
  plugins: [fastselectPlugin()],
});

The predefined shortcuts allow quick selection of common dates like "Today", "Tomorrow", "Next week", "Next month" and "Next year". When a shortcut is clicked, the corresponding date will be selected. You can also customize the shortcuts and their actions by passing a configuration object to the plugin.

var fp = flatpickr("#myDatePicker", {
  // other Flatpickr options
  plugins: [new fastselectPlugin({
    shortcut: [
      { text: 'Last year', value: [ new Date(new Date().getTime() - 365 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000) ] },
      { text: 'Last month', value: [ new Date(new Date().getTime() - 30 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000) ] },
      { text: 'Last week', value: [ new Date(new Date().getTime() - 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000) ] },
      { text: 'Yesterday', value: [ new Date(new Date().getTime() - 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000) ] },
      { text: 'Today', value: [ new Date(new Date()) ] },
      { text: 'Tomorrow', value: [ new Date(new Date().getTime() + 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000) ] },
      // ... 
    ],
  })],
});

Plugin Options

The Fast Select plugin only accepts the shortcut array, with the values mentioned above. You can customize those values according to your needs though.
