Hi @mgol! Question for you - Is there a way to track the date selected in your React app's state? I see that the UiDatepicker component tracks it, but I seem to be too much of noob to figure out how to access that data from another component. I tried adding an onChange handler to the UiDatepicker but it does absolutely nothing. This datepicker does everything I need it to do EXCEPT let me track the selected date in another component. I'm currently getting the value in my other component by using document.getElementById, but that's a bad practice for React! Any help for a noob would be appreciated

Would the option onUpdateDatepicker - new in 1.13.0 - work for you? https://api.jqueryui.com/datepicker/#option-onUpdateDatepicker

Hi, please add the new jQuery UI 1.13.0 released to https://cdnjs.com/ if it's possible😃
