Bug 28376: Replace jQueryUI date/timepicker with Flatpickr
This patch is a proof of concept demonstrating how jQueryUI date & time
pickers could be replaced using the Flatpickr library
(https://flatpickr.js.org/).
NEW: I've modified the default configuration of Flatpickr instances so
that a "Clear date" link is automatically appended. This eliminates the
need to add a button to the markup and event handling for each case.
NEW: Date/time formatting should be corrected in this revised patch.
The patch modifies three pages as test cases:
- Circulation -> Renew (with SpecifyDueDates enabled), to demonstrate
date and time selection.
- NEW: You can also test the datepicker shown when you renew an
on-hold item. This demonstrates a configuration which requires that
the selection be after today.
- Administration -> Patron categories -> New category, to demonstrate a
calendar-only date picker enforcing a date after today.
- NEW: Reports -> Patrons. The "Date of birth" fields are linked so
that the second cannot be before the first.
I've made some customizations to the default Flatpickr library's CSS and
incorporated it into staff-global.scss, so you must rebuild the staff
client SCSS
