Overview

The Svelte Inclusive Datepicker is a promising new component designed to offer a lightweight and accessible way to select dates within applications built on the Svelte framework. Currently in its alpha stage, this datepicker is intended for developers who wish to integrate a date selection tool while maintaining flexibility with existing date management libraries, including popular choices like date-fns, dayjs, luxon, and even moment.js.

This component stands out for its simple and uncluttered design, which skews away from traditional inputs and modals. Instead, it presents a day and year picker that can be easily implemented in any project using Svelte version 3.38.1 or higher.
