React-Date-Picker

An input component for picking dates for your React application.

Important message for React-Date-Picker ≤5 users

Sadly, the authors of original React-Date-Picker ≤5 have abandoned the package. Because it lacked compatibility with React 16, the package would quickly become dead.

In version 6 I aim to provide a solution that will suit everyone's needs. To make that happen, I need time and your help. Please don't hesitate to file an issues with bugs, suggestions, or simply telling me more about how you use react-date-picker. Your help will be invaluable!

Upgrade guide for React-Date-Picker ≤5 users is there to help you with the upgrade.

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 <DatePicker />. Use onChange prop for getting new values.

Demo

Minimal demo page is included in sample directory.

Online demo is also available!

Getting started

Compatibility

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.

Browser Minimum supported version
Google Chrome 24
Mozilla Firefox 29
Microsoft Edge 12
Apple Safari 10
Apple Safari (iOS) 10.2
Opera 15
Internet Explorer 11
Samsung Internet 4

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/build/entry.nostyle'; instead.

User guide

DatePicker
