## Create date range input

### Description

Creates a pair of text inputs which, when clicked on, bring up calendars that the user can click on to select dates.

### Usage

    dateRangeInput(inputId, label, start = NULL, end = NULL, min = NULL,
      max = NULL, format = "yyyy-mm-dd", startview = "month", weekstart = 0,
      language = "en", separator = " to ", width = NULL)

### Arguments

`inputId` | The `input` slot that will be used to access the value.
`label` | Display label for the control, or `NULL` for no label.
`start` | The initial start date. Either a Date object, or a string in `yyyy-mm-dd` format. If NULL (the default), will use the current date in the client's time zone.
`end` | The initial end date. Either a Date object, or a string in `yyyy-mm-dd` format. If NULL (the default), will use the current date in the client's time zone.
`min` | The minimum allowed date. Either a Date object, or a string in `yyyy-mm-dd` format.
`max` | The maximum allowed date. Either a Date object, or a string in `yyyy-mm-dd` format.
`format` | The format of the date to display in the browser. Defaults to `"yyyy-mm-dd"`.
`startview` | The date range shown when the input object is first clicked. Can be "month" (the default), "year", or "decade".
`weekstart` | Which day is the start of the week. Should be an integer from 0 (Sunday) to 6 (Saturday).
`language` | The language used for month and day names. Default is "en". Other valid values include "bg", "ca", "cs", "da", "de", "el", "es", "fi", "fr", "he", "hr", "hu", "id", "is", "it", "ja", "kr", "lt", "lv", "ms", "nb", "nl", "pl", "pt", "pt-BR", "ro", "rs", "rs-latin", "ru", "sk", "sl", "sv", "sw", "th", "tr", "uk", "zh-CN", and "zh-TW".
`separator` | String to display between the start and end input boxes.
`width` | The width of the input, e.g. `'400px'`, or `'100%'`; see `validateCssUnit`.

### Details

The date `format` string specifies how the date will be displayed in the browser. It allows the following values:

- `yy` Year without century (12)

- `yyyy` Year with century (2012)

### Examples

    dateRangeInput("daterange", "Date range:",
                   start = "2001-01-01",
                   end   = "2010-12-31")

    # Default start and end is the current date in the client's time zone
    dateRangeInput("daterange", "Date range:")

    # start and end are always specified in yyyy-mm-dd, even if the display
    # format is different
    dateRangeInput("daterange", "Date range:",
                   start  = "2001-01-01",
                   end    = "2010-12-31",
                   min    = "2001-01-01",
                   max    = "2012-12-21",
                   format = "mm/dd/yy",
                   separator = " - ")

    # Pass in Date objects
    dateRangeInput("daterange", "Date range:",
                   start = Sys.Date()-10,
                   end = Sys.Date()+10)

    # Use different language and different first day of week
    dateRangeInput("daterange", "Date range:",
                   language = "de",
                   weekstart = 1)

    # Start with decade view instead of default month view
    dateRangeInput("daterange", "Date range:",
                   startview = "decade")
