Keep the value the constructor returns, and you can drive the picker after it is set up.

const picker = new NepaliDatePicker('#date-picker', { mode: 'multiple' })

Selection

Available in multiple mode. Outside it they are inert — getSelectedDates() returns an empty array, getSelectedDatesFormatted() an empty string, and the setters do nothing.

Method	Returns	Description
`getSelectedDates()`	`string[]`	Selected dates as `YYYY-MM-DD`, in the order picked. Returns a copy
`getSelectedDatesFormatted()`	`string`	The selection rendered per `selectedDatesFormat`. Always a string
`setSelectedDates(dates)`	—	Replace the selection. Entries that are not `YYYY-MM-DD` are dropped
`clearSelection()`	—	Clear the selection and the input

picker.setSelectedDates(['2082-01-05', '2082-01-10']) // [!code focus]

picker.getSelectedDates() // ['2082-01-05', '2082-01-10']
picker.getSelectedDatesFormatted() // '2082-01-05, 2082-01-10'

picker.clearSelection() // [!code focus]
picker.getSelectedDates() // []

getSelectedDates() hands back a copy, so pushing to it will not change what the picker holds.

Date Constraints

Method	Returns	Description
`setMinDate(date)`	—	Set the earliest selectable date, or `null` to remove the bound
`setMaxDate(date)`	—	Set the latest selectable date, or `null` to remove the bound
`getMinDate()`	`string \| null`	The configured minimum, exactly as supplied
`getMaxDate()`	`string \| null`	The configured maximum, exactly as supplied

picker.setMinDate('2082-01-01') // [!code focus]
picker.setMaxDate('2082-12-30') // [!code focus]

picker.getMinDate() // '2082-01-01'

picker.setMinDate(null) // remove the lower bound // [!code focus]
picker.getMinDate() // null

Both setters re-render an open calendar, so disabled dates update immediately. An unparseable value is rejected with a console warning and the previous bound is kept.

See Min & Max Dates for the configuration options and how to style the disabled cells.
