Colorlib Rebuilds 13 Bootstrap Datepicker Templates as Dependency-Free HTML, CSS and Vanilla JavaScript
In September 2026, Colorlib released an update that transformed 13 calendar and booking-form templates into dependency-free HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript, eliminating the need for jQuery, the datepicker plugin, and moment.js. These 18 templates are available for both personal and commercial use under CC BY 3.0, provided credit is given. Calendar V09 introduces time selection, while V12 features a minimalist design. V13 presents a two-widget date range picker, and V14 offers a simple picker. V15 serves as a date range selector for bookings, V11 is a pop-up picker, and V18 integrates an inline calendar with a date range function. Booking Form V3 is for hotel check-ins, V8 is for room reservations, V16 is a dark hotel widget, and V4 manages car rental dates. The snippets also include various forms and instructions for date inputs.
