  Introduction
    The =Uize.Widget.Calendar= class implements a calendar widget that supports selecting a date within a given date range, with month and year navigation.

    *DEVELOPERS:* `Jan Borgersen`, `Chris van Rensburg`

    Key Features
      The =Uize.Widget.Calendar= module provides the following key features...

      - `Valid Date Range` - You can configure a valid date range to limit the date range within which the user can select dates.
      - `Navigation Buttons` - Month and year navigation buttons let the user navigate the calendar to a different month or year in order to select a date.
      - `Navigation Button State Management` - The enabled states of the month and year navigation buttons are managed so that they are disabled when their action would take the view outside of a configured `valid date range`.
      - `Date Grid` - A date grid, with links for every day of the month, lets the user select a date.
      - `Snap View Behavior` - A snap view behavior ensures that the date is in view and that the view is not outside of the `valid date range` after the values of the =value=, =minValue=, or =maxValue= state properties are changed programmatically.
      - Flexibility in `specifying date values` - Flexibility in how dates can be specified when setting values for the =value=, =minValue=, and =maxValue= state properties lets you specify dates in any of the ways supported by the =Uize.Date.resolve= method.

    Implemented Interfaces
      The =Uize.Widget.Calendar= implements the following JavaScript interfaces...

      - *Value Interface* - This class implements a =value= state property and, therefore, it implements the `value interface`.
      - *Value Range Interface* - This class implements =minValue= and =maxValue= state properties and, therefore, it implements the `value range interface`.

    Valid Date Range
      The =Uize.Widget.Calendar= module supports the ability to limit the date range within which the user can select dates.

      It does this by providing the =minValue= and =maxValue= state properties, where the =minValue= property specifies the start date of the valid date range, and the =maxValue= property specifies the end date of the range.

      Upper and Lower Bounds
        When dates are specified for both the =minValue= and =maxValue= state properties, then date selection can be constrained to a bounded date range - the user will not be able to select a date outside of this range.

        EXAMPLE
        ................................................
        page.addChild (
          'calendar',
          Uize.Widget.Calendar,
          {minValue:'2000-01-01',maxValue:'2099-12-31'}
        );
        ................................................

        In the above example, the user will be able to select a date only in the 21st century - not in the 20th century or earlier, and not in the 22nd century or beyond.

        Using Uize.Date.getRangeAround
          When supplying values for the =minValue= and =maxValue= state properties, it may be useful to use static methods of the =Uize.Date= module to more easily create logical date ranges.

          One particularly useful method of the =Uize.Date= module is the =Uize.Date.getRangeAround= method, which will generate a "neat" date range of the specified range size around the specified date, such as the week around a specified date, the month around a date, the quarter around a date, the year around a date, etc.

          EXAMPLE
          .....................................................................................
          page.addChild ('calendar',Uize.Widget.Calendar,Uize.Date.getRangeAround ('','week'));
          .....................................................................................

          In the above example, the user will be able to select a date in the current week (i.e. the week of the date on which this calendar widget is instantiated). The result from the call to the =Uize.Date.getRangeAround= method is being supplied as the state property values for the =Uize.Widget.Calendar= instance. This works because the =Uize.Widget.Calendar= class implements =minValue= and =maxValue= state properties, and because the =dateRangeOBJ= value returned by the =Uize.Date.getRangeAround= method contains =minValue= and =maxValue= properties.

      Boundless Date Ranges
        The =minValue= and =maxValue= properties are nullable.

        This means that either - or both - of the =minValue= and =maxValue= properties can be set to =null= or =''= (empty string), to indicate that there is no lower and/or upper bound, respectively, for the valid date range.

        Lower Bound Only
          When only the =minValue= property is set to a date and the =maxValue= property is set to =null= or =''= (empty string), then there will be no upper bound to the `valid date range`.

          This configuration lets the user select a date from a specified start date onwards. Consider the following examples...

          EXAMPLE 1
          ........................................................................
          page.addChild ('calendar',Uize.Widget.Calendar,{minValue:'2000-01-01'});
          ........................................................................

          In the above example, the user will be able to select a date in the 21st century and beyond.

          EXAMPLE 2
          ....................................................................
          page.addChild ('calendar',Uize.Widget.Calendar,{minValue:new Date});
          ....................................................................

          In the above example, the user will be able to select a date from today's date (i.e. the date on which this calendar widget is instantiated) onwards.

        Upper Bound Only
          When only the =maxValue= property is set to a date and the =minValue= property is set to =null= or =''= (empty string), then there will be no lower bound to the `valid date range`.

          This configuration lets the user select a date up until a specified date. Consider the following examples...

          EXAMPLE 1
          ........................................................................
          page.addChild ('calendar',Uize.Widget.Calendar,{maxValue:'1999-12-31'});
          ........................................................................

          In the above example, the user will be able to select a date in the 20th century or earlier.

          EXAMPLE 2
          ....................................................................
          page.addChild ('calendar',Uize.Widget.Calendar,{maxValue:new Date});
          ....................................................................

          In the above example, the user will be able to select a date up until today's date (i.e. the date on which this calendar widget is instantiated).

        No Lower or Upper Bounds
          When both the =minValue= *and* =maxValue= properties are set to =null= or =''= (empty string), then there will be no restriction on the date that the user can select.

          In this case, there will effectively be no valid date range constraint. Put another way, the valid date range will include all dates for all time - completely boundless.

      Invalidation of value
        The value of the =value= state property (i.e. the selected date) may be set to =null=, effectively being invalidated, if the values of the =minValue= and/or =maxValue= state properties are modified and the selected date no longer falls within the newly set `valid date range`.

    Specifying Date Values
      The =Uize.Widget.Calendar= module uses the =Uize.Date.resolve= static method of the =Uize.Date= module to conform date values to instances of JavaScript's =Date= object.

      This provides flexibility in how dates can be specified when setting values for the =value=, =minValue=, and =maxValue= state properties. Supported value types include: strings in =ISO 8601= format, instances of JavaScript's =Date= object, date strings that can be parsed by the =Date= object, and basically any value type that is supported by the =Uize.Date= module's =Uize.Date.resolve= method.

    Navigation Buttons
      The =Uize.Widget.Calendar= module implements support for month and year navigation in the form of navigation buttons.

      The navigation button child widgets, which are all button instances, allow the user to navigate the calendar to a different month or year in order to select a date. Month navigation is offered via the =nextMonth= and =previousMonth= buttons, which are wired to control the value of the =month= state property. Year navigation is offered via the =nextYear= and =previousYear= buttons, which are wired to control the value of the =year= state property.

      The markup for the navigation button child widgets is optional, and a given implementation of a calendar widget's HTML does not need to offer the navigation buttons in its UI. If the navigation button markup is omitted, the application may elect to provide month and year navigation through some alternate UI. In other cases, a calendar widget's HTML may exclude just the markup for the year navigation buttons, especially in cases where the user is not likely to need to navigate to earlier or later years, or if date selection will be constrained to dates from a particular year.

      Navigation Button State Management
        The =Uize.Widget.Calendar= module manages the =enabled= state of the `navigation buttons` so that they are disabled when their action would take the view outside of a `valid date range` specified by the =minValue= and =maxValue= state properties.

        - When a non-null value is specified for the =maxValue= state property and incrementing the value of the =month= state property would take the view outside of the `valid date range`, then the =nextMonth= button will be disabled.

        - When a non-null value is specified for the =minValue= state property and decrementing the value of the =month= state property would take the view outside of the `valid date range`, then the =previousMonth= button will be disabled.

        - When a non-null value is specified for the =maxValue= state property and incrementing the value of the =year= state property would take the view outside of the `valid date range`, then the =nextYear= button will be disabled.

        - When a non-null value is specified for the =minValue= state property and decrementing the value of the =year= state property would take the view outside of the `valid date range`, then the =previousYear= button will be disabled.

    Snap View Behavior
      The =Uize.Widget.Calendar= module implements a snap-into-view behavior, so that programmatically changing the value of the =value=, =minValue=, or =maxValue= state properties will update the =month= and =year= state properties - as needed - in order to ensure that the date is in view and that the view is not outside of the `valid date range`.

      The snap view behavior, as it pertains to the =value= state property, is switchable with the boolean =snapViewOnValueChange= state property. If the =snapViewOnValueChange= state property is set to =true= at the time that the =value= property is modified, then the values of the =year= and =month= state properties will be updated, if necessary, in order to ensure that the viewed year and month is not outside of the `valid date range` and that the selected date is in view. If no date is selected, then the =year= and =month= will be updated so that today's date is in view, unless today's date is outside of the `valid date range`, in which case the =year= and =month= will be updated so that the start or end date of the `valid date range` is in view, with priority given to the start date, but with the end date being used if there is no lower bound to the `valid date range`.

    Date Grid
      The =Uize.Widget.Calendar= module implements a date grid, with links for every day of the month, which lets the user select a date.

      The HTML for the date grid is dynamically generated to have links for the month of the year currently in view by the instance. The currently selected date is indicated in the grid with a highlight. Days of the month currently in view that are outside of the `valid date range` are grayed out.

                The value of this state property is independent of the selected date that is represented by the =value= state property.

                Month Wrapping Behavior
                  The conformer of the =month= property supports wrapping when values are specified outside of the range of =0= to =11=.

                  This makes is possible to increment or decrement the value of this property to effectively navigate across years.

                  EXAMPLE
                  ......................................................
                  myCalendar.set ({year:2009,month:11});

                  // increment month into next year
                  myCalendar.set ({month:myCalendar.get ('month') + 1});

                  alert (myCalendar.get ('year'));   // displays 2010
                  alert (myCalendar.get ('month'));  // displays 0

                  // decrement month back into previous year
                  myCalendar.set ({month:myCalendar.get ('month') - 1});

                  alert (myCalendar.get ('year'));   // displays 2009
                  alert (myCalendar.get ('month'));  // displays 11
                  ......................................................

                  The wrapping behavior uses a modulus, so you can increment or decrement by any number of months at a time. For instance, the statement =myCalendar.set ({month:myCalendar.get ('month') + 18})= would advance the view of the =myCalendar= widget a year and a half into the future.
