Bootstrap 4 datepicker
I want to use datepicker https://bootstrap-datepicker.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html with Bootstrap 4.
Following the examples on above page, I can make it work with Bootstrap 3.
Using this code datepicker appears correctly.
But doing the same with Bootstrap 4:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no">
<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-datepicker/1.7.1/css/bootstrap-datepicker.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>

<body>
<main class="container">
<div class="row" style="padding-top: 100px">
<div class="col">
<input data-date-format="dd/mm/yyyy" id="datepicker">
</div>
</div>
</main>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

$('#datepicker').datepicker({
weekStart: 1,
daysOfWeekHighlighted: "6,0",
autoclose: true,
todayHighlight: true,
});
$('#datepicker').datepicker("setDate", new Date());
</script>
</body>Makes it look less professional:
Looks like font and spacing are messed up in Bootstrap 4 version.
How can I get same look and feel of datepicker in Bootstrap 4?
Thanks
Answer
You can too override default datepicker classes like the following:
the default bootstrap font size is 1rem or 16px so update .datepicker class
font-size: 0.875em; or/and update the cell width and height:
.datepicker td, .datepicker th {
width: 1.5em;
height: 1.5em;
}

<style type="text/css">
// solution 1:
.datepicker {
font-size: 0.875em;
}
/* solution 2: the original datepicker use 20px so replace with the following:*/
.datepicker td, .datepicker th {
width: 1.5em;
height: 1.5em;
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#datepicker').datepicker({
weekStart: 1,
daysOfWeekHighlighted: "6,0",
autoclose: true,
todayHighlight: true,
});
$('#datepicker').datepicker("setDate", new Date());
</script>
</body>
