Basic Usage
import { DateTimePicker } from "@atawi/react-date-picker";
import "@atawi/react-date-picker/style.css";
function App() {
const [date, setDate] = useState<Date | [Date, Date]>(new Date());
return <DateTimePicker value={date} onChange={setDate} showTime />;
}Locale Example (date-fns)
Use a locale from date-fns/locale and pass it through the locale prop:
import { useState } from "react";
import { DateTimePicker } from "@atawi/react-date-picker";
import { fr } from "date-fns/locale";
import "@atawi/react-date-picker/style.css";
function App() {
const [date, setDate] = useState<Date | [Date, Date]>(new Date());
return (
<DateTimePicker value={date} onChange={setDate} showTime locale={fr} />
);
}Examples
Single Date Selection
// Basic date picker
<DateTimePicker
value={date}
onChange={setDate}
mode="single"
showTime={false}
/>
// With time selection
<DateTimePicker
value={date}
onChange={setDate}
mode="single"
showTime
use24Hour={false}
/>Date Range Selection
const [dateRange, setDateRange] = useState<Date | [Date, Date]>([
new Date(),
addDays(new Date(), 5),
]);
<DateTimePicker
value={dateRange}
onChange={setDateRange}
mode="range"
showTime={false}
/>;Week Range Selection
const [weekRange, setWeekRange] = useState<Date | [Date, Date]>([
startOfWeek(new Date()),
endOfWeek(new Date()),
]);
<DateTimePicker
value={weekRange}
onChange={setWeekRange}
mode="week"
showTime={false}
/>;With Date Notes
const notes = [
{
date: new Date(),
note: "Today's special event: Team meeting at 2 PM",
},
{
startDate: addDays(new Date(), 3),
endDate: addDays(new Date(), 5),
note: "Annual conference in New York",
},
];
<DateTimePicker value={date} onChange={setDate} mode="single" notes={notes} />;Auto-close Behavior (closeOnSelect)
Control whether the popover auto-closes after a selection. Defaults to
"auto", which provides the most natural behavior for each mode.
| Value | Behavior |
|---|---|
"auto" |
Closes after date pick when showTime is off. When showTime is on, waits and closes after the user picks the minute. In range/week mode, closes once the range is complete. |
true |
Closes immediately on date pick, even when showTime is on. |
false |
Never auto-closes; user must click outside or use a footer action. |
Providing a
footeralways overrides auto-close (assumed explicit confirm flow).
// Close immediately after date pick, skip waiting for time
<DateTimePicker value={date} onChange={setDate} showTime closeOnSelect />
// Disable auto-close entirely
<DateTimePicker value={date} onChange={setDate} closeOnSelect={false} />Clearable Value with Custom Placeholder
Pass clearable to render an inline Γ button on the trigger that resets the
value. The optional placeholder prop replaces the default "Select date"
text shown when no value is selected. The cleared value is delivered as null
through onChange (and an optional onClear callback).
const [date, setDate] = useState<Date | [Date, Date] | null>(null);
<DateTimePicker
value={date}
onChange={setDate}
mode="single"
clearable
placeholder="Pick a dateβ¦"
onClear={() => console.log("cleared")}
/>;Dark Mode
<DateTimePicker
value={date}
onChange={setDate}
mode="single"
showTime
darkMode={true}
/>With Confirmation Button
const [selectedDate, setSelectedDate] = useState(new Date());
const [isOpen, setIsOpen] = useState(false);
<DateTimePicker
value={selectedDate}
onChange={setSelectedDate}
mode="single"
showTime
isOpen={isOpen}
onOpenChange={setIsOpen}
footer={
<div
style={{
marginTop: "1rem",
paddingTop: "1rem",
borderTop: "1px solid #e5e7eb",
display: "flex",
justifyContent: "flex-end",
}}
>
<ConfirmButton
onConfirm={() => {
// Handle confirmation
setIsOpen(false);
}}
/>
</div>
}
/>;Standalone Time Picker
import { TimePicker } from "@atawi/react-date-picker";
import "@atawi/react-date-picker/style.css";
const [time, setTime] = useState<Date | [Date, Date]>(new Date());
<TimePicker value={time} onChange={setTime} use24Hour={false} />;Custom Styling
You can customize the appearance using CSS classes:
const customStyles = {
containerClassName: "my-date-picker",
triggerClassName: "my-trigger-button",
calendarClassName: "my-calendar",
dayClassName: "my-day-button",
selectedDayClassName: "my-selected-day",
};
<DateTimePicker value={date} onChange={setDate} styles={customStyles} />;Then style with CSS:
.my-date-picker {
/* Custom container styles */
}
.my-trigger-button {
background: #f0f0f0;
border: 2px solid #ccc;
border-radius: 8px;
}
.my-selected-day {
background: #ff6b6b;
color: white;
}With Min/Max Date Constraints
import { addDays, subDays } from "date-fns";
<DateTimePicker
value={date}
onChange={setDate}
mode="single"
showTime={false}
minDate={subDays(new Date(), 3)}
maxDate={addDays(new Date(), 30)}
