Salsa Calendar is a standalone pure JavaScript library created to generate date (range) pickers for hotel booking applications.

How to use it

Insert the JavaScript file SalsaCalendar.min.js and style sheet SalsaCalendar.min.css into the html document:

<script src="build/SalsaCalendar.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="build/SalsaCalendar.min.css">

Create the check-in, check-out date inputs and number of nights span as follows:

<input type="text" id="checkin" class="salsa-calendar-input" autocomplete="off" name="arrival" value="" />
<input type="text" id="checkout" class="salsa-calendar-input" autocomplete="off" name="departure" value="" />

<span id="nights-no">
  (
  <span class="counter"></span>
  <span class="singular" style="display:none;">night</span>
  <span class="plural" style="display:none;">nights</span>
  )
</span>

Initialize the date picker:

var calendar_from = new SalsaCalendar({
    inputId: 'checkin',
    lang: 'en',
    range: {
        min: 'today'
    },
    calendarPosition: 'right',
    fixed: false,
    connectCalendar: true
});

var calendar_to = new SalsaCalendar({
    inputId: 'checkout',
    lang: 'en',
    range: {
        min: 'today'
    },
    calendarPosition: 'right',
    fixed: false
});

Setup the connection between these two date inputs and output the total of nights you user picked:

new SalsaCalendar.Connector({
    from: calendar_from,
    to: calendar_to,
    maximumInterval: 21,
    minimumInterval: 1
});

new SalsaCalendar.NightsCalculator({
    from: calendar_from,
    to: calendar_to,
    nightsNo: 'nights-no'
});
