Basic Lightweight jQuery Calendar Plugin - Yacal

Yacal is a small and simple-to-use jQuery plugin used to embed a nice-looking calendar component with basic functionality in your webpage.

Basic usage:

1. Make you you have jQuery library installed and then include the jQuery yacal plugin's JS and CSS files in your document.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="dist/jquery.yacal.css">
  ...
<script src="jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="dist/jquery.yacal.min.js"></script>

2. Create a container for the calendar and use data-attributes to config the options.

<div class="yacal" 
     data-date="2015/06/15" 
     data-near-months="1" 
     data-min-date="2014/6/15" 
     data-max-date="2016/6/15">
</div>

3. You can also generate a calendar within a specified container using JavaScript.

$('#container').yacal({
  // options here
});

4. Full plugin options.
