### Example

The code below renders a required date picker with the `custom_field` name, "Custom field" label and custom date formats (e.g. the source date "2001-01-01" is displayed as "January 1, 2001"). It allows selecting a date starting from tomorrow and up to 30 days in advance.

```php
echo ( new HivePress\Fields\Date(
	[
		'name'           => 'custom_field',
		'label'          => 'Custom field',
		'format'         => 'Y-m-d',
		'display_format' => 'F j, Y',
		'offset'         => 1,
		'window'         => 30,
		'required'       => true,
	]
) )->render();
```
