Jquery Datepicker in Lightning Components for better control on behaviour of Datepicker
By Having trouble with and components? Then why don’t you use Jqyery Datepicker?
Jquery datepicker gives a lot of flexibility and freedom to developers to let them use a datepicker as per business needs. A developer can enforce validation on dates and date range which is very hard to impose using these out-of-the-box components as they rely on HTML5 input element.
Following component is using the jquery datepicker to get the date of birth from users.

NOTE –
In the above example, I used an old version of jquery which is jquery-2.2.4 due to LockerService bug. LockerService’s SecureWindow does not support a ‘hasOwnProperty’ method which is being used in the latest versions of the jQuery library.
