Events

• The component can emit all possible events, you can listen to them in your component

<flat-pickr v-model="date" @on-change="doSomethingOnChange" @on-close="doSomethingOnClose"/>

• Event names has been converted to kebab-case.
• You can still pass your callback methods in :config like original flatpickr do.

The component accepts these props:

Attribute	Type	Default	Description
v-model	String / Date Object / Array / Timestamp / null	null	Set or Get date-picker value (required)
config	Object	{ wrap: false }	Flatpickr configuration options
events	Array	Array of sensible events	Customise the events to be emitted
