Request to add sugar to check if a date is disabled

[NateWr]

I'm currently using the .set() API method to set the datepicker to today's date when the form is loaded:

datepicker.set( 'select', new Date() );

If today's date is invalid, the datepicker will automatically select the soonest valid date. That's really nice, I like that. But is there any way to check if a date is valid before setting it

In some instances, I might want to set nothing if today's date is invalid. But I haven't been able to discern a way to accomplish this with the API, short of pulling the disabled dates and writing a lot of JS to check myself (I am dealing with quite complex disabled date rules).

Thanks!

I should add that I've tried to use the .get( 'min' ) method, since my use-case disables all past dates. But it appears to count today's date even if the date has been disabled.

Yeah, it’d definitely be nice to have a way to check if a date is disabled or not. I hope to add that with the 4.0 release.

Cheers!

@NateWr I don’t know why I said that - there’s actually is a way to do this, just undocumented:

var dateToVerify = picker.component.create([2014, 6, 11]);
var isDisabled = picker.component.disabled(dateToVerify);

..and not the most concise. I guess all we really need here is some sugar.

I know this is ages later, but finally got around to implementing this today. Worked perfectly. Thanks.
