Translations

By default, locale will be set from your navigator language. But it's possible to set it from locale props. Actually, there are some locale inside project ('en', 'fr, 'es', 'de');

exemple:

<template>
    <VueDatePicker :value="date" :locale="locale"></VueDatePicker>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  // ...
  components: {
    VueDatePicker
  },
  data: () => ({
      date: new Date([2019, 5, 16]),
      locale: {
        lang: 'fr' // or 'en', 'es', 'de',
        weekDays: ['L', 'M', 'M', 'J', 'V', 'S', 'D'], // you can surcharge weekDays too
      },
  }),,
  // ...
}
</script>

🚀 Now, you can use your own language object

Below, an exemple for it language : You should have those properties to make it works :

'name', 'weekdays', 'weekdaysShort', 'weekdaysMin', 'weekStart', 'months', 'monthsShort', 'ordinal', 'formats', 'buttonCancel', 'buttonValidate', 'rangeHeaderText'

<template>
    <VueDatePicker :value="date" :locale="locale"></VueDatePicker>
</template>

<script>
const locale = {
  lang: {
    name: 'it',
    weekdays: 'domenica_lunedì_martedì_mercoledì_giovedì_venerdì_sabato'.split('_'),
    weekdaysShort: 'dom_lun_mar_mer_gio_ven_sab'.split('_'),
    weekStart: 1,
    months: 'gennaio_febbraio_marzo_aprile_maggio_giugno_luglio_agosto_settembre_ottobre_novembre_dicembre'.split('_'),
    monthsShort: 'gen_feb_mar_apr_mag_giu_lug_ago_set_ott_nov_dic'.split('_'),
    formats: {
      LT: 'HH:mm',
      LTS: 'HH:mm:ss',
      L: 'DD/MM/YYYY',
      LL: 'D MMMM YYYY',
      LLL: 'D MMMM YYYY HH:mm',
      LLLL: 'dddd D MMMM YYYY HH:mm',
    },
    ordinal: n => `${n}º`,
    buttonCancel: 'Annulla',
    buttonValidate: 'Ok',
    rangeHeaderText: 'Dalle %d Alle 13',
  },
};

export default {
  // ...
  components: {
    VueDatePicker
  },
  data: () => ({
    date: new Date([2019, 5, 16]),
    locale,
  }),
  // ...
};
</script>

Best Practices

When should you use attach prop :

Attach

is great when you have a fixed element in your page like a panel, a dialog or a fixed fullscreen container. The datepicker position will not take care of scroll page position and it'll be absolutely positioned into your fixed container. (if you scroll, datepicker popup will scroll too).
