As mentioned in the video, you could take a look at jquery-ui plugins.

DatePicker seems to fit your request: https://jqueryui.com/datepicker/

But you should:

  1. know that jQuery ui comes with it's own "css framework" and it's not easy to work without it, however you can customise it on their website or using a theme (if you're ok with the idea of adding that kind of asset in your app)
  2. create a custom build with only the feature you need, or else you'll have a too large asset for you need

You can find a lot of other solutions on the web, even on jQuery website plugin registry: https://plugins.jquery.com/tag/calendar/

The main advantage, of the jQuery-ui solution, it's well maintained by jQuery core team and if you're new to javaScript it could be a much easier start.
