DateTimePicker Component

A React 19.x date-time picker component, using TypeScript 5.x, styled using native CSS.

DatePicker, DateTimePicker, TimePicker and DateRangePicker are distinct components.

✅ tested locally with yalc on a real project (types, styles, functionality)

✅ tested as a final imported package from NPM on a real project (types, styles, functionality)

✅ tested accessibility for DatePicker, DateTimePicker, and TimePicker components

❌ DateRangePicker component is not yet fully tested for accessibility

The package is available on NPM as @fubar-it-co/date-time-picker, go to NPM.

A Storybook instance is available to preview the components and their features here.

Dependencies

@mona-health/react-input-mask v3.0.3

Peer Dependencies

• react >= 19.0.0
• react-dom >= 19.0.0
• clsx >= 11.0.0
• react-transition-group >= 4.4.5

Work in progress

Tests have to be written for DateRangePicker.

Tests have to be written for the accessibility features.

Some integration tests are still currently performed in real projects.

Issues

Some work has to be done with peer dependencies.

Styling

An overall rework of the CSS strategy has been done. The picker is now styled using mere CSS native.

It allows having a better performance and a more consistent styling across the components.

It also facilitates style override and customization.

Usage

To get the component styles in your project, you can import the CSS file directly in your main entry point (e.g., index.tsx or App.tsx):

import '@fubar-it-co/date-time-picker/styles.css'

You can then use the component in your React application like this:

import { DateTimePicker } from '@fubar-it-co/date-time-picker';

function App() {
  const handleDateChange = (date?: number) => {
    console.log('Selected date:', date);
  };

  return (
    <div className="App">
      <DateTimePicker
        date={Date.now()}
        onChange={handleDateChange}
        label="Select Date and Time"
        color="blue"
        size="md"
      />
    </div>
  );
}

Usage is the same for DatePicker, TimePicker, and DateRangePicker components, with their respective properties.

Component I18nDateLabel utility

The component provides a utility function to format dates and times based on the selected locale and timezone. You can use it like this:

import {DateTimePicker, I18nDateLabel} from '@fubar-it-co/date-time-picker'
import {useState} from "react";

import '@fubar-it-co/date-time-picker/styles.css'
import './App.css'

function App() {
   const [date, setDate] = useState<number | undefined>(new Date('2023-10-01T12:00:00Z').getTime())
   const handleChange = (newDate?: number) => {
      setDate(newDate)
   }

   return (
           <div style={{width: '100vw', height: '100vh', display: 'flex', justifyContent: 'start', alignItems: 'start'}}>
              <DateTimePicker date={date} color="emerald" onChange={handleChange}/>
              <div style={{marginLeft: '20px'}}>
                 <h2>Selected value:</h2>
                 <p>{date ? new Date(date).toString() : 'None'}</p>
                 <I18nDateLabel
                         locale="fr_FR"
                         localeAwareFormat="L LT"
                         value={date}
                 />
              </div>
           </div>
   )
}

export default App

It allows displaying the date in a localized format, taking into account the locale and timezone settings.

Development

Components in this project are visible in a storybook instance and a vite dev server.

Setup

1. Clone the repository
2. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   # or
   yarn
   # or
   pnpm install

Storybook

Run the storybook instance to preview the components:

npm run storybook
# or
yarn storybook
# or
pnpm storybook

Development Server

Run the development server to preview the components:

npm run dev
# or
yarn dev
# or
pnpm dev

This will start a development server at http://localhost:3000 with a preview of the component.

Testing

Run the tests:

npm test
# or
yarn test
# or
pnpm test

Linting and Formatting

The project uses ESLint 9.x for linting and Prettier 3.x for code formatting.

Run the linter:

npm run lint
# or
yarn lint
# or
pnpm lint

Fix linting issues automatically:

npm run lint:fix
# or
yarn lint:fix
# or
pnpm lint:fix

Format code with Prettier:

npm run format
# or
yarn format
# or
pnpm format

Building

Build the component for production:

npm run build
# or
yarn build
# or
pnpm build

Change logs

After each release, a changelog is generated automatically. You can find the changelog in the CHANGELOG.md file. Don't forget to run chmod +x change-log.sh to make the file executable

Publishing

To publish the package to npm, you can use the following command:

./publish.sh # Don't forget to run chmod +x publish.sh to make the file executable

The script accepts the following parameters:

./publish.sh patch # or minor or major

where patch, minor, or major can be used to specify the version bump type according to Semantic Versioning.

Setup Requirements

Before you can publish, make sure:

1. You have a npm account and are logged in
2. You have added an NPM_TOKEN secret to your GitHub repository:
   • Generate a token from your npm account settings
   • Go to your GitHub repository settings → Secrets → Actions
   • Add a new secret named NPM_TOKEN with your npm token value

Local Development with Yalc

To test the package locally before publishing to npm, you can use yalc. This allows you to simulate installing and using the package in other local projects.

Setup Yalc

1. Install yalc globally:

   pnpm add -g yalc

   Note: If you encounter any global installation issues, run pnpm setup first.

Publishing Locally

In the date-time-picker directory:

1. Build and publish to a local 'yalc' store:

   pnpm build
   yalc publish

Using in Another Project

In your test project directory:

1. Add the package from yalc:

   yalc add @<fubar-it-co or your scope>/date-time-picker
   pnpm install

2. Import and use the component as if it were installed from npm:

   import { DateTimePicker } from '@<fubar-it-co or your scope>/date-time-picker';

Development Workflow

For active development:

1. In the date-time-picker directory, use watch mode to automatically update changes:

   pnpm build --watch

2. In another terminal, push changes to linked projects:

   yalc push

   Or use yalc push --watch to automatically push changes.

Cleanup

When you're done testing:

1. In your test project:

   yalc remove @<fubar-it-co or your scope>/date-time-picker
   pnpm install

2. Optional - remove all yalc links globally:

   yalc installations clean

NPM Token Configuration

When working with private packages or publishing, you might encounter issues with the NPM_TOKEN. Here's how to handle it:

For Local Development

If you see warnings about NPM_TOKEN not being set, you have two options:

1. Simple Solution (Recommended for Local Development)

   • Delete the .npmrc file locally (it's gitignored anyway)
   • Or create a basic .npmrc with just:

     registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/

2. For Publishing and CI/CD

   • Create a .npmrc file with:

     //registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=${NPM_TOKEN}
     registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/

   • Set the NPM_TOKEN in your environment:

     export NPM_TOKEN=your_token_value

Note: The .npmrc file is git-ignored for security reasons. For local development, you typically don't need the NPM_TOKEN unless you're publishing or accessing private packages.
