{"id":17510,"library":"bootstrap-datetimepicker","title":"Bootstrap Datetimepicker (tarruda fork)","description":"This package is a fork of the original `bootstrap-datepicker` by Stefan Petre, extended to provide both date and time picking functionality for Twitter Bootstrap. Originally designed for Bootstrap 2 and 3, it integrates as a jQuery plugin, allowing users to select dates and times through a unified UI. The `tarruda` fork, specifically the one requested, reached versions like `0.0.7` and `0.0.10` and explicitly states it is no longer maintained, with its GitHub repository marked as archived. It differentiated itself by adding crucial time selection (hours, minutes) to the date-only functionality of its parent project. Developers seeking similar functionality for modern Bootstrap versions should look for actively maintained alternatives like `eonasdan/bootstrap-datetimepicker` or the non-Bootstrap-specific `@eonasdan/tempus-dominus`. The original package's release cadence was infrequent and it is now abandoned.","status":"abandoned","version":"0.0.7","language":"javascript","source_language":"en","source_url":"git://github.com/tarruda/bootstrap-datetimepicker","tags":["javascript","twitter-bootstrap","bootstrap","datepicker","datetimepicker","timepicker"],"install":[{"cmd":"npm install bootstrap-datetimepicker","lang":"bash","label":"npm"},{"cmd":"yarn add bootstrap-datetimepicker","lang":"bash","label":"yarn"},{"cmd":"pnpm add bootstrap-datetimepicker","lang":"bash","label":"pnpm"}],"dependencies":[{"reason":"This is a jQuery plugin and relies on jQuery for DOM manipulation and event handling.","package":"jquery","optional":false},{"reason":"It's a Bootstrap plugin, requiring Bootstrap's CSS and JavaScript (specifically transition and collapse components) for styling and modal/dropdown functionality, primarily Bootstrap v2 or v3.","package":"bootstrap","optional":false}],"imports":[{"note":"This is a jQuery plugin designed for global script inclusion.
