 # App Name
 
-Datetime Picker allows to swipe along the bars to select date and time elements, e.g. for the datetime of Events in the Alarm App.  As a standalone app, it allows to see the weekday of a given date and, once a datetime is selected, the number of days and time between that datetime and now.

+![datetime with numbered swipe controls](screenshot2.png)
+
+1. Year: swipe up to increase, down to decrease
+2. Month: swipe right to increase, left to decrease
+3. Day: swipe up to increase, down to decrease
+4. Week: swipe up to increase week (same day next week), down to decrease (same day previous week)
+5. Weekday: swipe right to increase, left to decrease (basically the same effect as 3, but with a focus on the weekday)
+6. Hour: swipe right to increase, left to decrease
+7. Minutes: swipe right to increase, left to decrease
+8. 15 minutes: 00, 15, 30 or 45 minutes; swipe up to increase, down to decrease; wrap-around i.e. goes back to 00 after increasing from 45
+
+## How to use it in code
+
+Sample code which would show a prompt with the number of days and hours between now and the selected datetime:
+
+    require("datetimeinput").input().then(result => {
+        E.showPrompt(`${result}\n\n${require("time_utils").formatDuration(Math.abs(result-Date.now()))}`, {buttons:{"Ok":true}}).then(function() {
+            load();
+        });
+    });
+
+To set the initial value, pass a Date object named _datetime_, e.g. for today at 9:30 :
+
+        var datetime = new Date();
+        datetime.setHours(9, 30);
+        require("datetimeinput").input({datetime}).then(...
