Events

Datepicker triggers a number of events in certain circumstances. All events have extra data attached to the event object that is passed to any event handlers

$('.datepicker').datepicker()
    .on(picker_event, function(e) {
        // `e` here contains the extra attributes
    });

• date: the relevant Date object, in local timezone. For a multidate picker, this will be the latest date picked.

• dates: an Array of Date objects, in local timezone, when using a multidate picker.

• format([ix], [format]): a function to make formatting date easier. ix can be the index of a Date in the dates array to format; if absent, the last date selected will be used. format can be any format string that datepicker supports; if absent, the format set on the datepicker will be used. Both arguments are optional.
