Tools:

1. Add an input field

The input field will serve you as a trigger for displaying the datepicker and will retrieve the date selected by your prospect.

4. Add these code snippets before <body>

 <script src="https://fengyuanchen.github.io/datepicker/js/datepicker.js"></script>
 <script>
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $('[data-toggle="datepicker"]').datepicker({
            format: 'mm-dd-yyyy'
        });
        // Available date placeholders:
        // Year: yyyy
        // Month: mm
        // Day: dd
        if (window.innerWidth < 768) {
            $('[data-toggle="datepicker"]').attr('readonly', 'readonly')
        }
    });
</script>
 <style>
    /* You can apply your own color! 
    --main-light-color is the light grey, 
    --main-dark-color is the text
    --main-active-color is the highlight
    you can just add like red, or blue or any helx you like! */
    :root {
        --main-light-color: #f3f5fb;
        --main-dark-color: #321f59;
        --main-active-color: #642eff;

    .datepicker-top-left::before,

        display: none;
    }
    .datepicker-panel>ul>li.picked,
    .datepicker-panel>ul>li.highlighted,
    .datepicker-panel>ul>li.picked:hover {
        color: var(--main-active-color);

        border-radius: 8px;
        font-style: normal;
        font-weight: 500;
        font-size: 14px;
    }
    li[data-view="month current"],
    li[data-view="year current"] {
        text-align: left;
        color: var(--main-dark-color);
        font-style: normal;
        font-weight: 500;
        font-size: 14px;
        /* line-height: 24px; */
        padding-left: 15px;
        border-radius: 10px;
    }
    .datepicker-panel>ul>li:hover {
        background: var(--main-light-color);
        border-radius: 10px;
    }
    li[data-view="month current"],
    li[data-view="year current"],
    li[data-view="years current"] {
        margin-bottom: 4px !important;
    }
    @media screen and (min-width: 768px) {
        .datepicker-dropdown {
            width: 364px;
            padding: 12px;
        }
        .datepicker-panel>ul>li {
            width: 48px;
            height: 48px;
            padding-top: 10px;
        }
        li[data-view="month next"],
        li[data-view="year next"],
        li[data-view="years next"] {
            position: absolute;
            right: 18px
        }
        li[data-view="month prev"],
        li[data-view="year prev"],
        li[data-view="years prev"] {
            position: absolute;
            right: 66px
        }
        ul[data-view="months"] li,
        ul[data-view="years"] li {
            padding-top: 0px;
            width: 57px !important;
        }
    }
    @media screen and (max-width: 768px) {
        .datepicker-panel {
            transform: scale(0.97);
        }
    }
</style>

5. All that's left to do is add style

You can easily update the colors on your datepicker using the first lines of style.

--main-light-color: #f3f5fb ;
--hand-dark-color: #321f59 ;
--main-active-color: #642eff ;

If you are comfortable with CSS, you can even customize the rendering of your datepicker in more detail (width, height, font...).

And if you are not super comfortable, copy/paste the css (the 3rd piece of code above, the one between the tags<style>) and ask ChatGTP to apply the style you want!

Datepicker Webflow
Bon à savoir

Vous pouvez modifier le format de la date simplement en modifiant mm-dd-yyyy par dd-mm-yyyy pour l'adapter au format français

6. Publish and test

7. Change the format to get a datepicker in French format (fr-FR)

Use this <script>in the <body>of your page in place of the code in point 4.

 <script src="https://fengyuanchen.github.io/datepicker/js/datepicker.js"></script>
 <script>
    (function (global, factory) {
        typeof exports === 'object' && typeof module !== 'undefined' ? factory(require('jquery')) :
        typeof define === 'function' && define.amd ? define(['jquery'], factory) :
        (factory(global.jQuery));
    }(this, (function ($) {
        'use strict';

        $.fn.datepicker.languages['fr-FR'] = {
            format: 'dd/mm/yyyy',
						days: ['Dimanche', 'Lundi', 'Mardi', 'Mercredi', 'Jeudi', 'Vendredi', 'Samedi'],
 				    daysShort: ['Dim', 'Lun', 'Mar', 'Mer', 'Jeu', 'Ven', 'Sam'],
    				daysMin: ['Di', 'Lu', 'Ma', 'Me', 'Je', 'Ve', 'Sa'],
    				weekStart: 1,
    				months: ['Janvier', 'Février', 'Mars', 'Avril', 'Mai', 'Juin', 'Juillet', 'Août', 'Septembre', 'Octobre', 'Novembre', 'Décembre'],
   					monthsShort: ['Jan', 'Fev', 'Mar', 'Avr', 'Mai', 'Jun', 'Jui', 'Aoû', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec']        };
    })));
</script>
 <script>
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $('[data-toggle="datepicker"]').datepicker({
            language: 'fr-FR'
        });

        if (window.innerWidth < 768) {
            $('[data-toggle="datepicker"]').attr('readonly', 'readonly');
        }
    });
</script>

If you want to know more about the component, I share The doc right here. Enough to change the format, the display, and add some features that you may find interesting.
