Input Month Polyfill

This package enables the use of inputs with month type in browsers that does not support it nativelly.

What it does

It hides every month input, then add right after each one a DOM with events to handle user interaction.

When the user set a month and year with this polyfill, it automatically sets the correspondent value to the original month input, using the same value pattern that is expected from a month input (yyyy-mm).

It means, you don't need to track what this package is doing. Just keep following and sending your forms as if it was not even there.

Usage

Download it with your package manager:

$ yarn add input-month-polyfill
OR
$ npm i -S input-month-polyfill

Then add it to the end of your body:

<script src="./node_modules/@logicamente.info/input-month-polyfill/dist/input-month-polyfill.min.js"></script>

Or import it to your node app:

import '@logicamente.info/input-month-polyfill/dist/input-month-polyfill.min';

React compatible

  return (
    <input
      type="month"
      value={this.state.month}
      onChange={(e) => this.setState({ month: e.target.value })} />
  )

UI

Your users can use keyboard or mouse to interact with this package. Only keyboard arrows are allowed to change its value.

Left and right arrows are both used to change from month to year selection, vice-versa.
