datepicker year selection

[themre]

hi,
i'm looking at datepicker api and examples and i'm not seeing year selection or some other navigation for months/years. this isn't available or I missed it somewhere? thanks!

you didn't miss it. if you did miss it, then so did i.
how do you see this working?

there are some options:

• have both month and year as a dropdown (like jquery UI datepicker)
• year as input (for very large date range e.g. 1000 - 2017 ,much more convenient than dropdown)
• there are some libs that have some popup panel inside datepicker with available years/months, but personally I don't prefer this style

i think first options would be probably the most easy one to integrate and also the most UX friendly.
