Answer 1

You can use vee-validate library to validate this like:

<date-picker :input-class="{'input': true, 'is-danger': errors.has('date') }"
            v-model="date"
            :disabled="state.disabled"
            placeholder="Select date"
            input-class="form-control"
            ></date-picker>
    <span v-show="errors.has('date')" class="help is-danger-red">{{ errors.first('date') }}</span>
    <input type="hidden" name="date" v-validate="'required'" v-model="date">

You can use this trick to solve this issue, It's works for me.

I was facing the similar issue, not with this plugin but some other plugin and one get around that worked for me was using vee-validate

This is the best validation plugin available for vue-js.
