-## 🚀 Installation
-
-```bash
-npm install ngxsmk-datepicker
-```
-
-## 📖 Usage
-
-ngxsmk-datepicker is a standalone component, so you can import it directly into your component or module.
-
-### 1. Import the Component
-
-```typescript
-import { Component } from '@angular/core';
-import { NgxsmkDatepickerComponent, DateRange, HolidayProvider } from 'ngxsmk-datepicker';
-
-@Component({
-  selector: 'app-root',
-  standalone: true,
-  imports: [NgxsmkDatepickerComponent],
-  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
-})
-export class AppComponent {
-  // Example for predefined ranges
-  public myRanges: DateRange = {
-    'Today': [new Date(), new Date()],
-    'Last 7 Days': [new Date(new Date().setDate(new Date().getDate() - 6)), new Date()],
-    'This Month': [new Date(new Date().getFullYear(), new Date().getMonth(), 1), new Date(new Date().getFullYear(), new Date().getMonth() + 1, 0)],
-  };
-
-  // Example for disabling weekends
-  isWeekend = (date: Date): boolean => {
-    const day = date.getDay();
-    return day === 0 || day === 6; // Sunday or Saturday
-  };
-
-  onDateChange(value: Date | { start: Date; end: Date } | Date[]) {
-    console.log('Date changed:', value);
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### 2. Add it to Your Template
-
-```html
-<ngxsmk-datepicker
-  [mode]="'range'"
-  [ranges]="myRanges"
-  [showTime]="true"
-  [minuteInterval]="15"
-  [minDate]="today"
-  [isInvalidDate]="isWeekend"
-  [locale]="'en-US'"
-  [theme]="'light'"
-  [inline]="'auto'"
-  (valueChange)="onDateChange($event)">
-</ngxsmk-datepicker>
-```
-
-### 3. Disabled Dates Example
-
-Disable specific dates by passing an array of date strings or Date objects:
-
-```typescript
-// In your component
-disabledDates = ['10/21/2025', '08/21/2025', '10/15/2025', '10/8/2025', '10/3/2025'];
-
-// In your template
-<ngxsmk-datepicker
-  [mode]="'single'"
-  [disabledDates]="disabledDates"
-  placeholder="Select a date">
-</ngxsmk-datepicker>
-```
-
-### 4. Holiday Tooltips Example
-
-Holiday dates automatically show tooltips when you hover over them:
-
-```typescript
-// Holiday provider with tooltips
-class MyHolidayProvider implements HolidayProvider {
-  private holidays: { [key: string]: string } = {
-    '2025-01-01': 'New Year\'s Day',
-    '2025-07-04': 'Independence Day',
-    '2025-12-25': 'Christmas Day',
-  };
-
-  isHoliday(date: Date): boolean {
-    const key = this.formatDateKey(date);
-    return !!this.holidays[key];
-  }
-
-  getHolidayLabel(date: Date): string | null {
-    const key = this.formatDateKey(date);
-    return this.holidays[key] || null;
-  }
-}
-
-// In your template
-<ngxsmk-datepicker
-  [holidayProvider]="holidayProvider"
-  [disableHolidays]="false"
-  placeholder="Hover over holidays to see tooltips">
-</ngxsmk-datepicker>
-```
-
-### 5. Smart Initial View with Future minDate
-
-When you set a `minDate` that is in the future, the datepicker will automatically open to that month:
-
-```typescript
-// Example: Current date is 10/21/2025, but you want to restrict selection to December 2025
-const futureMinDate = new Date(2025, 11, 15); // December 15, 2025
-const futureMaxDate = new Date(2025, 11, 21); // December 21, 2025
-
-// The datepicker will automatically show December 2025 when opened
-<ngxsmk-datepicker
-  [minDate]="futureMinDate"
-  [maxDate]="futureMaxDate"
-  [mode]="'single'">
-</ngxsmk-datepicker>
-```

-## 🎨 Theming
-
-You can easily customize the colors of the datepicker by overriding the CSS custom properties in your own stylesheet.
-
-```css
-ngxsmk-datepicker {
-  --datepicker-primary-color: #d9267d;      /* Main color for selected dates */
-  --datepicker-primary-contrast: #ffffff;  /* Text color on selected dates */
-  --datepicker-range-background: #fce7f3;  /* Background for the date range bar */
-}
-```
-
-To enable the dark theme, simply bind the theme input:
-
-```html
-<ngxsmk-datepicker [theme]="'dark'"></ngxsmk-datepicker>
-```
-
-## 🌍 Localization
-
-The `locale` input controls all internationalization. It automatically formats month names, weekday names, and sets the first day of the week.
-
-```html
-<!-- Renders the calendar in German -->
-<ngxsmk-datepicker [locale]="'de-DE'"></ngxsmk-datepicker>
-
-<!-- Renders the calendar in French -->
-<ngxsmk-datepicker [locale]="'fr-FR'"></ngxsmk-datepicker>

+    'This Month': [new Date(new Date().getFullYear(), new Date().getMonth(), 1), new Date(new Date().getFullYear(), new Date().getMonth() + 1, 0)],
+  };
+
+  // Example for disabling weekends

+    const day = date.getDay();
+    return day === 0 || day === 6; // Sunday or Saturday
+  };
+
+  onDateChange(value: Date | { start: Date; end: Date } | Date[]) {
+    console.log('Date changed:', value);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Add it to Your Template
+
+```html
+<ngxsmk-datepicker
+  [mode]="'range'"
+  [ranges]="myRanges"
+  [showTime]="true"
+  [minuteInterval]="15"

+</ngxsmk-datepicker>
+```
+
+### 3. Disabled Dates Example
+
+Disable specific dates by passing an array of date strings or Date objects:
+
+```typescript
+// In your component
+disabledDates = ['10/21/2025', '08/21/2025', '10/15/2025', '10/8/2025', '10/3/2025'];

+  [disabledDates]="disabledDates"
+  placeholder="Select a date">
+</ngxsmk-datepicker>
+```
+
+### 4. Holiday Tooltips Example
+
+Holiday dates automatically show tooltips when you hover over them:
+
+```typescript
+// Holiday provider with tooltips
+class MyHolidayProvider implements HolidayProvider {
+  private holidays: { [key: string]: string } = {
+    '2025-01-01': 'New Year\'s Day',
+    '2025-07-04': 'Independence Day',
+    '2025-12-25': 'Christmas Day',

+  }
+
+  getHolidayLabel(date: Date): string | null {
+    const key = this.formatDateKey(date);
+    return this.holidays[key] || null;
+  }
+}
+
+// In your template
+<ngxsmk-datepicker
+  [holidayProvider]="holidayProvider"
+  [disableHolidays]="false"
+  placeholder="Hover over holidays to see tooltips">
+</ngxsmk-datepicker>
+```
+
+### 5. Smart Initial View with Future minDate
+
+When you set a `minDate` that is in the future, the datepicker will automatically open to that month:
+
+```typescript
+// Example: Current date is 10/21/2025, but you want to restrict selection to December 2025
+const futureMinDate = new Date(2025, 11, 15); // December 15, 2025
+const futureMaxDate = new Date(2025, 11, 21); // December 21, 2025
+
+// The datepicker will automatically show December 2025 when opened
+<ngxsmk-datepicker
+  [minDate]="futureMinDate"
