[![npm](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/react-date-picker.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-date-picker) ![downloads](https://img.shields.io/npm/dt/react-date-picker.svg) [![CI](https://github.com/wojtekmaj/react-date-picker/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/wojtekmaj/react-date-picker/actions) # React-Date-Picker A date picker for your React app. - Pick days, months, years, or even decades - Supports virtually any language - No moment.js needed ## tl;dr - Install by executing `npm install react-date-picker` or `yarn add react-date-picker`. - Import by adding `import DatePicker from 'react-date-picker'`. - Use by adding ``. Use `onChange` prop for getting new values. ## Demo A minimal demo page can be found in `sample` directory. [Online demo](https://projects.wojtekmaj.pl/react-date-picker/) is also available! ## Consider native alternative If you don't need to support legacy browsers and don't need the advanced features this package provides, consider using native date input instead. It's more accessible, adds no extra weight to your bundle, and works better on mobile devices. ```tsx ``` ## Looking for a time picker or a datetime picker? React-Date-Picker will play nicely with [React-Time-Picker](https://github.com/wojtekmaj/react-time-picker) and [React-DateTime-Picker](https://github.com/wojtekmaj/react-datetime-picker). Check them out! ## Getting started ### Compatibility Your project needs to use React 16.3 or later. If you use an older version of React, please refer to the table below to find a suitable React-Date-Picker version. | React version | Newest compatible React-Date-Picker version | | ------------- | ------------------------------------------- | | ≥16.3 | latest | | ≥16.0 | 7.x | [React-Calendar](https://github.com/wojtekmaj/react-calendar), on which React-Date-Picker relies heavily, uses modern web technologies. That's why it's so fast, lightweight and easy to style. This, however, comes at a cost of [supporting only modern browsers](https://caniuse.com/#feat=internationalization). #### Legacy browsers If you need to support legacy browsers like Internet Explorer 10, you will need to use [Intl.js](https://github.com/andyearnshaw/Intl.js/) or another Intl polyfill along with React-Date-Picker. ### Installation Add React-Date-Picker to your project by executing `npm install react-date-picker` or `yarn add react-date-picker`. ### Usage Here's an example of basic usage: ```tsx import { useState } from 'react'; import DatePicker from 'react-date-picker'; type ValuePiece = Date | null; type Value = ValuePiece | [ValuePiece, ValuePiece]; function MyApp() { const [value, onChange] = useState(new Date()); return (

); } ``` ### Custom styling If you want to use default React-Date-Picker and React-Calendar styling to build upon it, you can import them by using: ```ts import 'react-date-picker/dist/DatePicker.css'; import 'react-calendar/dist/Calendar.css'; ``` ## User guide ### DatePicker Displays an input field complete with custom inputs, native input, and a calendar. #### Props | Prop name | Description | Default value | Example values | | -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | autoFocus | Automatically focuses the input on mount. | n/a | `true` | | calendarAriaLabel | `aria-label` for the calendar button. | n/a | `"Toggle calendar"` | | calendarProps | Props to pass to React-Calendar component. | n/a | See [React-Calendar documentation](https://github.com/wojtekmaj/react-calendar) | | calendarIcon | Content of the calendar button. Setting the value explicitly to `null` will hide the icon. | (default icon) |

String: `"Calendar"`
React element: ``
React function: `CalendarIcon`

| | className | Class name(s) that will be added along with `"react-date-picker"` to the main React-Date-Picker `

` element. | n/a |

String: `"class1 class2"`
Array of strings: `["class1", "class2 class3"]`

String: `"Clear"`
React element: ``
React function: `ClearIcon`

` element. | n/a | `"date-picker"` | | isOpen | Whether the calendar should be opened. | `false` | `true` | | locale | Locale that should be used by the date picker and the calendar. Can be any [IETF language tag](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IETF_language_tag). **Note**: When using SSR, setting this prop may help resolving hydration errors caused by locale mismatch between server and client. | Server locale/User's browser settings | `"hu-HU"` | | maxDate | Maximum date that the user can select. Periods partially overlapped by maxDate will also be selectable, although React-Date-Picker will ensure that no later date is selected. | n/a | Date: `new Date()` | | maxDetail | The most detailed calendar view that the user shall see. View defined here also becomes the one on which clicking an item in the calendar will select a date and pass it to onChange. Can be `"month"`, `"year"`, `"decade"` or `"century"`. | `"month"` | `"year"` | | minDate | Minimum date that the user can select. Periods partially overlapped by minDate will also be selectable, although React-Date-Picker will ensure that no earlier date is selected. | n/a | Date: `new Date()` | | monthAriaLabel | `aria-label` for the month input. | n/a | `"Month"` | | monthPlaceholder | `placeholder` for the month input. | `"--"` | `"mm"` | | name | Input name. | `"date"` | `"myCustomName"` | | nativeInputAriaLabel | `aria-label` for the native date input. | n/a | `"Date"` | | onCalendarClose | Function called when the calendar closes. | n/a | `() => alert('Calendar closed')` | | onCalendarOpen | Function called when the calendar opens. | n/a | `() => alert('Calendar opened')` | | onChange | Function called when the user picks a valid date. If any of the fields were excluded using custom `format`, `new Date(y, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0)`, where `y` is the current year, is going to serve as a "base". | n/a | `(value) => alert('New date is: ', value)` | | onFocus | Function called when the user focuses an input. | n/a | `(event) => alert('Focused input: ', event.target.name)` | | onInvalidChange | Function called when the user picks an invalid date. | n/a | `() => alert('Invalid date')` | | openCalendarOnFocus | Whether to open the calendar on input focus. **Note**: It's recommended to use `shouldOpenCalendar` function instead. | `true` | `false` | | portalContainer | Element to render the calendar in using portal. | n/a | `document.getElementById('my-div')` | | required | Whether date input should be required. | `false` | `true` | | returnValue | Which dates shall be passed by the calendar to the onChange function and onClick{Period} functions. Can be `"start"`, `"end"` or `"range"`. The latter will cause an array with start and end values to be passed. | `"start"` | `"range"` | | shouldCloseCalendar | Function called before the calendar closes. `reason` can be `"buttonClick"`, `"escape"`, `"outsideAction"`, or `"select"`. If it returns `false`, the calendar will not close. | n/a | `({ reason }) => reason !== 'outsideAction'` | | shouldOpenCalendar | Function called before the calendar opens. `reason` can be `"buttonClick"` or `"focus"`. If it returns `false`, the calendar will not open. | n/a | `({ reason }) => reason !== 'focus'` | | showLeadingZeros | Whether leading zeros should be rendered in date inputs. | `false` | `true` | | value | Input value. Note that if you pass an array of values, only first value will be fully utilized. | n/a |

Date: `new Date(2017, 0, 1)`
String: `"2017-01-01"`
An array of dates: `[new Date(2017, 0, 1), new Date(2017, 7, 1)]`
An array of strings: `["2017-01-01", "2017-08-01"]`

| | yearAriaLabel | `aria-label` for the year input. | n/a | `"Year"` | | yearPlaceholder | `aria-label` for the year input. | `"----"` | `"yyyy"` | ### Calendar DatePicker component passes all props to React-Calendar, with the exception of `className` (you can use `calendarClassName` for that instead). There are tons of customizations you can do! For more information, see [Calendar component props](https://github.com/wojtekmaj/react-calendar#props). ## License The MIT License. ## Author
