Ultimate calendar for your React app. - Pick days, months, years, or even decades - Supports range selection - Supports virtually any language - No moment.js needed ## tl;dr - Install by executing `npm install react-calendar` or `yarn add react-calendar`. - Import by adding `import Calendar from 'react-calendar'`. - 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-calendar/) is also available! ## Before you continue react-calendar is under constant development. This documentation is written for react-calendar 4.x branch. If you want to see documentation for other versions of react-calendar, use dropdown on top of GitHub page to switch to an appropriate tag. Here are quick links to the newest docs from each branch: - [v3.x](https://github.com/wojtekmaj/react-calendar/blob/v3.x/README.md) - [v2.x](https://github.com/wojtekmaj/react-calendar/blob/v2.x/README.md) ## Getting started ### Compatibility Your project needs to use React 16.8 or later. react-calendar 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-calendar. #### My locale isn't supported! What can I do? If your locale isn't supported, you can use [Intl.js](https://github.com/andyearnshaw/Intl.js/) or another Intl polyfill along with react-calendar. ### Installation Add react-calendar to your project by executing `npm install react-calendar` or `yarn add react-calendar`. ### Usage Here's an example of basic usage: ```tsx import { useState } from 'react'; import Calendar from 'react-calendar'; type ValuePiece = Date | null; type Value = ValuePiece | [ValuePiece, ValuePiece]; function MyApp() { const [value, onChange] = useState(new Date()); return (

); } ``` Check the [sample directory](https://github.com/wojtekmaj/react-calendar/tree/main/sample) in this repository for a full working example. For more examples and more advanced use cases, check [Recipes](https://github.com/wojtekmaj/react-calendar/wiki/Recipes) in [react-calendar Wiki](https://github.com/wojtekmaj/react-calendar/wiki). ### Custom styling If you want to use default react-calendar styling to build upon it, you can import react-calendar's styles by using: ```ts import 'react-calendar/dist/Calendar.css'; ``` ## User guide ### Calendar Displays a complete, interactive calendar. #### Props | Prop name | Description | Default value | Example values | | ----------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | activeStartDate | The beginning of a period that shall be displayed.
