Highlight certain dates on bootstrap-datepicker

Question

I'm using the bootstrap-datepicker to check the days where my website got sales and I want to display or highlight the dates there was at least one sale. I can pass the dates on JSON and then make them into a Javascript's array, but I don't know how to make the datepicker to fetch the dates and highlight them.

Is there a way with the bootstrap-datepicker to achieve this?

Answer 1

here is another example to highlight a range of dates:

var inRange=false;
$('#elementPicker').datepicker({
  beforeShowDay: function(date) {
    dateFormat = date.getUTCFullYear() + '-' + date.getUTCMonth() + '-' + date.getUTCDate();

    if (dateFormat == '2014-01-01') {
      inRange = true; //to highlight a range of dates
      return {classes: 'highlight', tooltip: 'Title'};
    }
    if (dateFormat == '2014-01-05') {
      if (inRange) inRange = false;  //to stop the highlight of dates ranges
      return {classes: 'highlight', tooltip: 'Title'};
    }
    if (inRange) {
      return {classes: 'highlight-range'}; //create a custom class in css with back color you want
    }
  }
});
