Getting started

First install and follow the guides at react-native-paper

Yarn

yarn add react-native-paper-dates

npm

npm install react-native-paper-dates --save

Import some localized strings

Ideally you do this somewhere in your index.js before react-native-paper-dates is used. Currently we have en/nl/de/pl/pt translations but it's really easy to add one extra since it are only some labels and error messages.

// e.g in your index.js
import {
  // en,
  // nl,
  // de,
  // pl,
  // pt,
  enGB,
  registerTranslation,
} from 'react-native-paper-dates'
// registerTranslation('en', en)
// registerTranslation('nl', nl)
// registerTranslation('pl', pl)
// registerTranslation('pt', pt)
// registerTranslation('de', de)
registerTranslation('en-GB', enGB)

or register your own

Please send a PR with your language to make sure all locales are there next time

import {
  registerTranslation,
} from 'react-native-paper-dates'
registerTranslation("pl", {
  save: 'Save',
  selectSingle: 'Select date',
  selectMultiple: 'Select dates',
  selectRange: 'Select period',
  notAccordingToDateFormat: (inputFormat) =>
    `Date format must be ${inputFormat}`,
  mustBeHigherThan: (date) => `Must be later then ${date}`,
  mustBeLowerThan: (date) => `Must be earlier then ${date}`,
  mustBeBetween: (startDate, endDate) =>
    `Must be between ${startDate} - ${endDate}`,
  dateIsDisabled: 'Day is not allowed',
  previous: 'Previous',
  next: 'Next',
  typeInDate: 'Type in date',
  pickDateFromCalendar: 'Pick date from calendar',
  close: 'Close',
})

Usage

Single date Picker (modal)

import * as React from 'react';
import { Button } from 'react-native-paper';
import { DatePickerModal } from 'react-native-paper-dates';

export default function ReadMeExampleSingle() {
  const [date, setDate] = React.useState<Date | undefined>(undefined);
  const [open, setOpen] = React.useState(false);

  const onDismissSingle = React.useCallback(() => {
    setOpen(false);
  }, [setOpen]);

  const onConfirmSingle = React.useCallback(
    (params) => {
      setOpen(false);
      setDate(params.date);
    },
    [setOpen, setDate]
  );

  return (
    <>
      <Button onPress={() => setOpen(true)} uppercase={false} mode="outlined">
        Pick single date
      </Button>
      <DatePickerModal
        locale="en"
        mode="single"
        visible={open}
        onDismiss={onDismissSingle}
        date={date}
        onConfirm={onConfirmSingle}
        // validRange={{
        //   startDate: new Date(2021, 1, 2),  // optional
        //   endDate: new Date(), // optional
        //   disabledDates: [new Date()] // optional
        // }}
        // onChange={} // same props as onConfirm but triggered without confirmed by user
        // saveLabel="Save" // optional
        // uppercase={false} // optional, default is true
        // label="Select date" // optional
        // animationType="slide" // optional, default is 'slide' on ios/android and 'none' on web
      />
    </>
  );
}

Range picker (modal)

import * as React from 'react';
import { Button } from 'react-native-paper';

import { DatePickerModal } from 'react-native-paper-dates';

    startDate: Date | undefined;
    endDate: Date | undefined;
  }>({ startDate: undefined, endDate: undefined });

  const [open, setOpen] = React.useState(false);

  const onDismiss = React.useCallback(() => {
    setOpen(false);
  }, [setOpen]);

  const onConfirm = React.useCallback(
    ({ startDate, endDate }) => {
      setOpen(false);
      setRange({ startDate, endDate });
    },
    [setOpen, setRange]
  );

  return (
    <>
      <Button onPress={() => setOpen(true)} uppercase={false} mode="outlined">
        Pick range
      </Button>
      <DatePickerModal
        locale="en"
        mode="range"
        visible={open}
        onDismiss={onDismiss}
        startDate={range.startDate}
        endDate={range.endDate}
        onConfirm={onConfirm}
        // validRange={{
        //   startDate: new Date(2021, 1, 2),  // optional
        //   endDate: new Date(), // optional
        //   disabledDates: [new Date()] // optional
        // }}

Roadmap

Things on our roadmap have labels with enhancement. https://github.com/web-ridge/react-native-paper-dates/issues

Tips & Tricks

Use 0.14+ version of React-Native-Web (Modal and better number input)
Try to avoid putting the Picker Modals inside of a scrollView If that is not possible use the following props on the surrounding ScrollViews/Flatlists

    keyboardDismissMode="on-drag"
    keyboardShouldPersistTaps="handled"
    contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior="always"

This is to prevent the need to press 2 times before save or close button in modal works (1 press for closing keyboard, 1 press for confirm/close) React Native Issue: #10138

Android Caveats

We recommend Hermes with React Native >= 0.66 you won't need these polyfills at all!

Below React Native 0.66

You will need to add a polyfill for the Intl API on Android if:

You have Hermes enabled and are below React Native 0.66
You have Hermes disabled and you want to support locales outside of en-US and you don't have the org.webkit:android-jsc-intl:+ variant enabled in your app/build.gradle

Install polyfills with Yarn

yarn add react-native-localize @formatjs/intl-pluralrules @formatjs/intl-getcanonicallocales @formatjs/intl-listformat @formatjs/intl-displaynames @formatjs/intl-locale @formatjs/intl-datetimeformat @formatjs/intl-numberformat @formatjs/intl-relativetimeformat

or npm

npm install react-native-localize @formatjs/intl-pluralrules @formatjs/intl-getcanonicallocales @formatjs/intl-listformat @formatjs/intl-displaynames @formatjs/intl-locale @formatjs/intl-datetimeformat @formatjs/intl-numberformat @formatjs/intl-relativetimeformat --save

If using Expo, omit react-native-localize and use expo install expo-localization instead. Read more here.

In your app starting entrypoint e.g. ./index.js or even better use a index.android.js to prevent importing on iOS/web put the following code. (don't forget to import the languages you want to support, in the example only english language is supported)

// on top of your index.android.js file
const isAndroid = require('react-native').Platform.OS === 'android'; // this line is only needed if you don't use an .android.js file
const isHermesEnabled = !!global.HermesInternal;  // this line is only needed if you don't use an .android.js file

// in your index.js file
if (isHermesEnabled || isAndroid) {  // this line is only needed if you don't use an .android.js file

  require('@formatjs/intl-getcanonicallocales/polyfill');
  require('@formatjs/intl-locale/polyfill');


  require('@formatjs/intl-pluralrules/polyfill');
  require('@formatjs/intl-pluralrules/locale-data/en.js'); // USE YOUR OWN LANGUAGE OR MULTIPLE IMPORTS YOU WANT TO SUPPORT

  require('@formatjs/intl-displaynames/polyfill');
  require('@formatjs/intl-displaynames/locale-data/en.js'); // USE YOUR OWN LANGUAGE OR MULTIPLE IMPORTS YOU WANT TO SUPPORT

  require('@formatjs/intl-listformat/polyfill');
  require('@formatjs/intl-listformat/locale-data/en.js'); // USE YOUR OWN LANGUAGE OR MULTIPLE IMPORTS YOU WANT TO SUPPORT

  require('@formatjs/intl-numberformat/polyfill');
  require('@formatjs/intl-numberformat/locale-data/en.js'); // USE YOUR OWN LANGUAGE OR MULTIPLE IMPORTS YOU WANT TO SUPPORT

  require('@formatjs/intl-relativetimeformat/polyfill');
  require('@formatjs/intl-relativetimeformat/locale-data/en.js'); // USE YOUR OWN LANGUAGE OR MULTIPLE IMPORTS YOU WANT TO SUPPORT

  require('@formatjs/intl-datetimeformat/polyfill');
  require('@formatjs/intl-datetimeformat/locale-data/en.js'); // USE YOUR OWN LANGUAGE OR MULTIPLE IMPORTS YOU WANT TO SUPPORT

  require('@formatjs/intl-datetimeformat/add-golden-tz.js');



  // https://formatjs.io/docs/polyfills/intl-datetimeformat/#default-timezone

  if ('__setDefaultTimeZone' in Intl.DateTimeFormat) {

    // If you are using react-native-cli
    let RNLocalize = require('react-native-localize');
    Intl.DateTimeFormat.__setDefaultTimeZone(RNLocalize.getTimeZone());

    //  Are you using Expo, use this instead of previous 2 lines
    //  Intl.DateTimeFormat.__setDefaultTimeZone(
    //    require("expo-localization").timezone
    //  );
  }
} // this line is only needed if you don't use an .android.js file
