new version to support signal forms

[aylmercarson]

current version is good for traditional forms/formcontrols. a new version which supports signal forms might be a good idea, given that this is the way angular is headed.

Great suggestion! I'm happy to let you know that Signal Forms support is already available in ngxsmk-datepicker! 🎉

Signal Forms Support

The datepicker provides first-class support for Angular 21+ Signal Forms through the [field] input, which enables seamless two-way binding with signal form fields.

Quick Example

import { Component, signal, form, objectSchema } from '@angular/core';
import { NgxsmkDatepickerComponent } from 'ngxsmk-datepicker';

@component({
selector: 'app-form',
standalone: true,
imports: [NgxsmkDatepickerComponent],
template: <form> <ngxsmk-datepicker [field]="myForm.dateInQuestion" mode="single" placeholder="Select a date"> </ngxsmk-datepicker> </form>
})
export class FormComponent {
localObject = signal({ dateInQuestion: new Date() });

myForm = form(this.localObject, objectSchema({
dateInQuestion: objectSchema()
}));
}## Features

• ✅ Automatic two-way binding - The [field] input automatically syncs with form state
• ✅ Reactive updates - Changes to the form field automatically update the datepicker
• ✅ Server integration - Works seamlessly with httpResource and linkedSignal
• ✅ Type safety - Full TypeScript support with proper types
• ✅ Disabled state handling - Automatically respects form field disabled state

The datepicker also supports traditional reactive forms via formControlName, so you can use whichever approach works best for your project!
