dateAlignment

Determines the first visible day of a custom view.

String

When a Custom View is being used, and you’d like to guarantee that the view begins at a certain interval, like the start-of-week or start-of-month, specify a value like "week" or "month".

If not specified, a reasonable default will be generated based on the view’s duration.

If a view’s range is explicity defined with visibleRange, dateAlignment will be ignored.
