title: Bootstrap datepicker concrete example of the index.html
body: <p>I must be an idiot. I've been trying to get the <a href="https://github.com/eternicode/bootstrap-datepicker" rel="nofollow noreferrer">bootstrap datepicker</a> to work for hours unsuccessfully. What do I need to write in the index.html to put up a simple datepicker?</p>
  <pre><code>&lt;html&gt;
  &lt;head&gt;&lt;title&gt;A concrete example I will upload to github for future people&lt;/title&gt;
  
  &lt;!-- What exactly do I need to include here? There's /js/bootstrap-datepicker.js --&gt;
  
  &lt;/head&gt;
  &lt;body&gt;
  
  Datepicker:
  &lt;!-- The documentation says &lt;input type=&quot;text&quot; type=&quot;text&quot; class=&quot;form-control&quot;&gt; --&gt;
  
  &lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html&gt;
  </code></pre>
  <p><strong>Steps</strong></p>
  <ol>
  <li>Create node.js server and clone github into the 'public' folder</li>
  <li>cd to the datepicker folder and npm install. Make sure grunt-cli is installed.</li>
  <li>create index.html file with code generously provided by hero on Stack Overflow, whom we owe a tremendous thanks.</li>
  </ol>
