Unable to select dates before today in Ionic 6

[bot101]

Ionic version: (check one with "x")
[ ] 2.x
[ ] 3.x
[ ] 4.x

Ion2-calendar mode: (check one with "x")
[ ] components mode
[ ] modal mode

Current behavior:

Expected behavior:
Allow user select days starting from defined date in options value

Steps to reproduce:
I added ion2-calendar to an Ionic 6 project, but cannot make it select a date before the current date. Setting from to new Date('01/01/1970') does nothing, and just disables selecting any day at all. Is this library compatible with Ionic 6?

Related code:

options: CalendarComponentOptions = {
    from: new Date('01/01/1970'),
};

ngOnInit() {
    if(this.rangeType !== 'day') {
      this.options.pickMode = 'range';
    }
  }

Hello, I have the same problem, were you able to solve it?

I found it is working for Ionic 6. You just need to set the to: date to be a future date. For example:
this.options = {
color: 'secondary',
from: new Date(2021, 0, 1), // days click enabled from;
to: new Date(2024, 8, 15), // days click enabled to;
showMonthPicker: false,
daysConfig: _daysConfig,
};

I took this approach to get it working:

options: CalendarModalOptions = {
    pickMode: 'multi',
    showMonthPicker: true,
    from: moment().add(-1,'year').toDate(),
    to: moment().add(1,'year').toDate()
};

I found that the "minimum" from date is 1971

  const options: CalendarModalOptions = {
      title: '',
      from: new Date(1971, 0, 1),
      to: 0,
      defaultDate: new Date(),
   };

If you set before 1971 it will show all elements as a disabled

  const options: CalendarModalOptions = {
      title: '',
      from: new Date(1970, 0, 1),
      to: 0,
      defaultDate: new Date(),
   };

Unfortunately this repository was abandoned, to solve my problems with dates before 1970 and updates, I released a new version with corrections and new features.
