import {DatePicker} from '@gravity-ui/date-components';

DatePicker is a sophisticated, lightweight, and fully customizable component designed to provide intuitive date picking functionality in your React applications. Built with user experience and ease of integration in mind, it fits seamlessly within forms, modals, or any UI element requiring date input. It can be controlled if you set value property. Or it can be uncontrolled if you don't set any value, but in this case you can manage the initial state with optional property defaultValue. Component is uncontrolled by default.

Useful addition

To set dates in the right format you may need to include additional helpers from Date Utils library

import {dateTimeParse, dateTime} from '@gravity-ui/date-utils';

Appearance

The appearance of DatePicker is controlled by the size, view and pin properties.

Size

To control the size of the DatePicker use the size property. Default size is m.

<DatePicker size="s" />
<DatePicker size="m" />
<DatePicker size="l" />
<DatePicker size="xl" />

View

normal - the main view of DatePicker (used by default).

<DatePicker />

clear - view of DatePicker without visible borders (can be used with a custom wrapper)

<DatePicker view="clear" />

Pin

The pin property allows you to control the shape of the right and left edges and is usually used for combining multiple controls in a single unit. The value of the pin property consists of left and edge style names divided by a dash, e.g. "round-brick". The edge styles are: round (default), circle, brick and clear.

<DatePicker pin="round-brick" />
<DatePicker pin="brick-brick" />
<DatePicker pin="brick-round" />

Value

Min and max value

The minValue property allows you to specify the earliest date and time that can be entered by the user. Conversely, the maxValue property specifies the latest date and time that can be entered. If you input the value out of this bounds component changes it's view like in case of invalid validation state.

<DatePicker minValue={dateTimeParse('01.01.2024')} placeholder={"minValue: '01.01.2024'"}/>
<DatePicker maxValue={dateTimeParse('01.01.2025')} placeholder={"maxValue: '01.01.2025'"}/>

States

Disabled

The state of the DatePicker where you don't want the user to be able to interact with the component.

<DatePicker disabled={true} defaultValue={dateTime()} />

Readonly

readOnly is a boolean attribute that, when set to true, makes the DatePicker component immutable to the user. This means that while the input will display its current value, users will not be able to change it.

<DatePicker readOnly defaultValue={dateTimeParse(new Date())} />

Error

The state of the DatePicker in which you want to indicate incorrect user input. To change DatePicker appearance, use the validationState property with the "invalid" value. An optional message text can be added via the errorMessage property. Message text will be rendered under the component.

Error message
<DatePicker errorMessage="Error message" validationState="invalid" />
<DatePicker validationState="invalid" />

Additional content

Placeholder

This prop allows you to provide a short hint that describes the expected value of the input field. This hint is displayed within the input field before the user enters a value, and it disappears upon the entry of text.

<DatePicker placeholder="Placeholder" />

Label

Allows you to place the label in the left part of the field. Label can take up no more than half the width of the entire space of DatePicker.

<DatePicker label="Label" />
<DatePicker label="Very long label with huge amount of symbols" />

Clear button

hasClear is a boolean prop that, provides users with the ability to quickly clear the content of the input field.

<DatePicker hasClear />

Format

The format prop is a string that defines the date and time format the DatePicker component will accept and display. This prop determines how the date and time are visually presented to the user and how the user's input is expected to be formatted. Available formats

<DatePicker format='LL' />

Time zone

timeZone is the property to set the time zone of the value in the input. Learn more about time zones

Customisation

If you want to use custom calendar component inside DatePicker you can pass it as children with calendar like props.
