LibAddonMenu - DatePicker widget

A DatePicker widget for the library LibAddonMenu.
Just install it in addition to LibAddonMenu-2.0 (release 32 or newer is needed!) and use the new widget type "datepicker" in your addon'
settings panel.

Add to your manifest txt file:
Code:
## DependsOn: LibAddonMenuDatePicker
This widget is based on a combobox with dropdown and will show the datepicker as you click the combobox or the "open dropdown" arrow.
The picked date will be saved as a UNIX timestamp (same format like GetTimeStamp() provides) with the selected date and time 00:00:00 (midnight).

Description of the bullet points 1 to 6 (see image 1 of this addon):
  1. Previous month
  2. Select today and close date picker
  3. Select the month from a dropdown
  4. Select the year by help of the mouse wheel, +/- buttons or enter the year into the editbox
  5. Select the current year
  6. Next month


Provides the following parameters:
Code:
--[[datepickerData = {
    type = "datepicker",
    datePickerType = "normal", -- (optional)
    name = "My Datepicker", -- or string id or function returning a string
    getFunc = function() return db.var end,
    setFunc = function(var) db.var = var doStuff() end,
    tooltip = "Datepicker's tooltip text.", -- or string id or function returning a string (optional)
    width = "full", -- or "half" (optional)
    disabled = function() return db.someBooleanSetting end, -- or boolean (optional)
    warning = "May cause permanent awesomeness.", -- or string id or function returning a string (optional)
    requiresReload = false, -- boolean, if set to true, the warning text will contain a notice that changes are only applied after an UI reload and any change to the value will make the "Apply Settings" button appear on the panel which will reload the UI when pressed (optional)
    default = defaults.var, -- default value or function that returns the default value (optional)
    helpUrl = "https://www.esoui.com/portal.php?id=218&a=faq", -- a string URL or a function that returns the string URL (optional)
    reference = "MyAddonDatepicker" -- unique global reference to control (optional)
} ]]
Example usage in a LAM settings panel:
Lua Code:
  1. {
  2.             type = 'datepicker',
  3.             name = GetString(MYADDON_STRING_CONSTANT_DATE_FROM),
  4.             tooltip = GetString(MYADDON_STRING_CONSTANT_DATE_FROM_TT),
  5.             getFunc = function() return settings.dateStart end,
  6.             setFunc = function(dateTimeStampPicked)
  7.                 settings.dateStart  = dateTimeStampPicked
  8.             end,
  9.             width = "full",
  10.             reference = "MYADDON_DatePickerFrom",
  11.         },

Oh right, have not thought about en client in non US, many thanks for bringing it to my attention.
If you got the time to provide a patch and settings menu to make us choose the format of the date, I'd be happy.
Currently I do not find the time to work on this myself.

Code should be on github so you could fork it and add it, then send a pull request (if you use Github).
Else send me a pm with a link to your patch and I'll gladly test it.

date format

This widget is great, but I have one complaint: setting date format (Y-M-D vs D.M.Y vs M/D/Y) based on language is probably not the best idea. The M/D/Y format (aka middle-endian abomination) is almost unknown outside of USA. Most of the people who play ESO in English are from other English-speaking countries (United Kingdom and all former British colonies like Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, and big chunk of Africa) or from non-English-speaking countries who have no translation to their own language available (and that means most of Europe), and all of them prefer other formats - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_format_by_country

So, maybe you could add a selector letting the user choose the format? Or at least a parameter to the widget letting the addon using the widget choose, possibly based on previous user choices, like this:
Code:
{
    type = "datepicker",
    dateFormat = "%Y-%m-%d", -- or "%d.%m.%Y", "%d/%m/%y", or whatever else
    …
}
If you have no time for coding that, but would accept a patch, let me know and I will write it. Seeing today's date written as 1/6/2024 really confuses me, and probably thousands of other people…
