Using bootstrap-datepicker in Yii2

I've installed bootstrap-datepicker using composer on my Yii2 project. Javascript still won't understand 'datepicker' command. Is there anything else I have to do to require this library? Maybe use 'use eternicode/...' command in a view file? Even though can't find out a proper way they form after being installed via composer.

Here's the link to github of this library: https://github.com/eternicode/bootstrap-datepicker

You need to create an AssetBundle so it can be registered by a View.

<?php
    namespace app\assets;

    use yii\web\AssetBundle;

    class DatepickerAsset extends AssetBundle 
    {
        public $sourcePath = '@bower/bootstrap-datepicker/dist';
        public $js = ['js/bootstrap-datepicker.min.js'];
        public $css = ['css/bootstrap-datepicker.min.css'];
    }

The above is an example as I don't know what folders will be created by composer.

Then in the view,

<?php
    DatepickerAsset::register($this);

This will insert the necessary script and css tags into the output.
