                name="date">
        </flat-pickr>
        <div class="input-group-btn">
          <button class="btn btn-default" type="button" title="Toggle" data-toggle>
            <i class="glyphicon glyphicon-calendar">
              <span aria-hidden="true" class="sr-only">Toggle</span>
            </i>
          </button>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
    <pre>Selected date is - {{date}}</pre>
  </section>
</template>

<script>
  // bootstrap is just for this example
  import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css';
  // import this component
  import flatPickr from 'vue-flatpickr-component';  
  import 'flatpickr/dist/flatpickr.css';
  // theme is optional
  import 'flatpickr/dist/themes/material_blue.css';
  // l10n is optional
  const Hindi = require("flatpickr/dist/l10n/hi.js").hi;
  
  export default {
    name: 'yourComponent',
    data () {
      return {
        // Initial value
        date: new Date(),
        // Get more form https://chmln.github.io/flatpickr/options/
        config: {
          wrap: true, // set wrap to true when using 'input-group'
          altFormat: 'M	j, Y',
          altInput: true,
          dateFormat: "Y-m-d",
          locale: Hindi, // locale for this instance only          
        },                
      }
    },
    components: {
      flatPickr
    },    
  }
</script>
