Deprecated Ninja Forms Pikaday custom code detected

I too just noticed that I am getting this error since applying the latest NinjaForms update back near the beginning of December 2020:
Uncaught TypeError: dateObject.pikaday.setMinDate is not a function

And upon further investigation, discovered that it was due to NinjaForms dropping the old Pikaday plugin that it uses for datefields, and now includes the Flatpickr plugin instead (which is fantastic, since it’s a more robust datepicker and my preferred plugin, and I was already previously using this in the same platform and other projects).

However, this means using an alternate method when it comes to customizing the date fields, since the methods that were specific to the Pikaday plugin are no longer applicable.

So instead of using a method like so to set a minimum date on the datepicker:
dateObject.pikaday.setMinDate( new Date() )

You’ll need to update your code to use an initialization method specific to the Flatpickr plugin, like so:
dateObject.set("minDate", new Date());

And the error should be resolved! Note that you will need to update *any* similar functionality in regards to date fields and NinjaForms.

Hope this helps!
