The size of\nthe range is decided by the calendar and may span multiple months. It may return a\n`Promise`, in which case the affected dates render in a non-selectable pending state\nuntil it resolves.\n\n`disabled` from the metadata is combined with `min`, `max` and `isDateDisabled`: a date\nis disabled if it is out of the min/max range, or `isDateDisabled` returns `true`, or its\nmetadata marks it disabled. `part` names are added to the date cell's `part` attribute so\na theme can style specific dates via `::part()`.\n\nBoth `disabled` and `part` are returned by this one function, rather than by separate\ngenerators, so a single backend query (for example in Flow) can answer both at once\ninstead of being split into two passes over the same data.\n\nKeep a stable reference to the function. Assigning a new function resets the internal\ncache and re-fetches every visible range. To reload after the underlying data changes\nwhile keeping the same function, call `clearCache()`.",
