Looking for a time picker or a datetime picker?

React-Date-Picker will play nicely with React-Time-Picker and React-DateTime-Picker. Check them out!

Getting started

Compatibility

Your project needs to use React 16 or later. If you use older version of React, please refer to the table below to find suitable React-Date-Picker version.

React version	Newest supported React-Date-Picker
>16.0	latest
>15.0	6.7.0

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.

Legacy browsers

If you need to support legacy browsers like Internet Explorer 10, you will need to use 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:

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import DatePicker from 'react-date-picker';

class MyApp extends Component {
  state = {
    date: new Date(),
  }

  onChange = date => this.setState({ date })

  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <DatePicker
          onChange={this.onChange}
          value={this.state.date}
        />
      </div>
    );
  }
}

Custom styling

If you don't want to use default React-Date-Picker styling to build upon it, you can import React-Date-Picker by using import DatePicker from 'react-date-picker/dist/entry.nostyle'; instead.

required	Defines whether date input should be required. Defaults to false.	`true`
value	Defines the value of the input.	Date: `new Date()` An array of dates: `[new Date(2017, 0, 1), new Date(2017, 7, 1)]`

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.
