Date picker

Date Picker

A component that allows users to select a date from a calendar.

Anatomy

To set up the date picker correctly, you'll need to understand its anatomy and how we name its parts.

Each part includes a data-part attribute to help identify them in the DOM.

Examples

Learn how to use the DatePicker component in your project. Let's take a look at the most basic example

import { DatePicker, Portal } from '@ark-ui/react'

export const Basic = () => {
  return (
    <DatePicker.Root>

        <DatePicker.ClearTrigger>Clear</DatePicker.ClearTrigger>
      </DatePicker.Control>
      <Portal>
        <DatePicker.Positioner>

                        ))}

                              {months.map((month, id) => (
                                <DatePicker.TableCell key={id} value={month.value}>
                                  <DatePicker.TableCellTrigger>

            </DatePicker.View>
            <DatePicker.View view="year">
              <DatePicker.Context>
                {(datePicker) => (
                  <>

          </DatePicker.Content>
        </DatePicker.Positioner>
      </Portal>
    </DatePicker.Root>
  )
}

Range Selection

To create a Date Picker that allows a range selection, set the selectionMode prop to range.

import { DatePicker } from '@ark-ui/react'

export const Range = () => {
  return (
    <DatePicker.Root selectionMode="range">
      <DatePicker.Label>Label</DatePicker.Label>
      <DatePicker.Control>
        <DatePicker.Input index={0} />
        <DatePicker.Input index={1} />
        <DatePicker.Trigger>📅</DatePicker.Trigger>
        <DatePicker.ClearTrigger>Clear</DatePicker.ClearTrigger>
      </DatePicker.Control>
      <DatePicker.PresetTrigger value="last7Days">Last 7 days</DatePicker.PresetTrigger>
      <DatePicker.Positioner>
        <DatePicker.Content>
          <DatePicker.YearSelect />
          <DatePicker.MonthSelect />
          <DatePicker.View view="day">
            <DatePicker.Context>
              {(datePicker) => (
                <>
                  <DatePicker.ViewControl>
                    <DatePicker.PrevTrigger>Prev</DatePicker.PrevTrigger>
                    <DatePicker.ViewTrigger>
                      <DatePicker.RangeText />
                    </DatePicker.ViewTrigger>
                    <DatePicker.NextTrigger>Next</DatePicker.NextTrigger>
                  </DatePicker.ViewControl>
                  <DatePicker.Table>
                    <DatePicker.TableHead>
                      <DatePicker.TableRow>
                        {datePicker.weekDays.map((weekDay, id) => (
                          <DatePicker.TableHeader key={id}>{weekDay.short}</DatePicker.TableHeader>
                        ))}
                      </DatePicker.TableRow>
                    </DatePicker.TableHead>
                    <DatePicker.TableBody>
                      {datePicker.weeks.map((week, id) => (
                        <DatePicker.TableRow key={id}>
                          {week.map((day, id) => (
                            <DatePicker.TableCell key={id} value={day}>
                              <DatePicker.TableCellTrigger>{day.day}</DatePicker.TableCellTrigger>
                            </DatePicker.TableCell>
                          ))}
                        </DatePicker.TableRow>
                      ))}
                    </DatePicker.TableBody>
                  </DatePicker.Table>
                </>
              )}
            </DatePicker.Context>
          </DatePicker.View>
          <DatePicker.View view="month">
            <DatePicker.Context>
              {(datePicker) => (
                <>
                  <DatePicker.ViewControl>
                    <DatePicker.PrevTrigger>Prev</DatePicker.PrevTrigger>
                    <DatePicker.ViewTrigger>
                      <DatePicker.RangeText />
                    </DatePicker.ViewTrigger>

                  <DatePicker.Table>
                    <DatePicker.TableBody>
                      {datePicker
                        .getMonthsGrid({ columns: 4, format: 'short' })
                        .map((months, id) => (
                          <DatePicker.TableRow key={id}>
                            {months.map((month, id) => (
                              <DatePicker.TableCell key={id} value={month.value}>
                                <DatePicker.TableCellTrigger>
                                  {month.label}
                                </DatePicker.TableCellTrigger>
                              </DatePicker.TableCell>
                            ))}
                          </DatePicker.TableRow>
                        ))}
                    </DatePicker.TableBody>
                  </DatePicker.Table>
                </>
              )}
            </DatePicker.Context>
          </DatePicker.View>
          <DatePicker.View view="year">
            <DatePicker.Context>
              {(datePicker) => (
                <>
                  <DatePicker.ViewControl>

                  <DatePicker.Table>
                    <DatePicker.TableBody>
                      {datePicker.getYearsGrid({ columns: 4 }).map((years, id) => (
                        <DatePicker.TableRow key={id}>
                          {years.map((year, id) => (
                            <DatePicker.TableCell key={id} value={year.value}>
                              <DatePicker.TableCellTrigger>
                                {year.label}
                              </DatePicker.TableCellTrigger>
                            </DatePicker.TableCell>

                </>
              )}
            </DatePicker.Context>
          </DatePicker.View>
        </DatePicker.Content>
      </DatePicker.Positioner>
    </DatePicker.Root>
  )
}

Standalone Date Picker

In some cases, you might want to display a non-dismissible date picker. This can be achieved by setting the open prop to true and closeOnSelect prop to false.

Important to note that standalone date picker doesn't use the Portal, Positioner and Content components.

import { DatePicker } from '@ark-ui/react'

export const Standalone = () => {
  return (
    <DatePicker.Root open={true} closeOnSelect={false}>
      <DatePicker.Input />
      <DatePicker.View view="day">
        <DatePicker.Context>
          {(datePicker) => (
            <>
              <DatePicker.ViewControl>
                <DatePicker.PrevTrigger>Prev</DatePicker.PrevTrigger>
                <DatePicker.ViewTrigger>
                  <DatePicker.RangeText />
                </DatePicker.ViewTrigger>
                <DatePicker.NextTrigger>Next</DatePicker.NextTrigger>
              </DatePicker.ViewControl>
              <DatePicker.Table>
                <DatePicker.TableHead>
                  <DatePicker.TableRow>
                    {datePicker.weekDays.map((weekDay, id) => (
                      <DatePicker.TableHeader key={id}>{weekDay.short}</DatePicker.TableHeader>
                    ))}
                  </DatePicker.TableRow>
                </DatePicker.TableHead>
                <DatePicker.TableBody>
                  {datePicker.weeks.map((week, id) => (
                    <DatePicker.TableRow key={id}>
                      {week.map((day, id) => (
                        <DatePicker.TableCell key={id} value={day}>
                          <DatePicker.TableCellTrigger>{day.day}</DatePicker.TableCellTrigger>
                        </DatePicker.TableCell>
                      ))}
                    </DatePicker.TableRow>
                  ))}
                </DatePicker.TableBody>
              </DatePicker.Table>
            </>
          )}

      </DatePicker.View>
      <DatePicker.View view="month">

                  {datePicker.getMonthsGrid({ columns: 4, format: 'short' }).map((months, id) => (
                    <DatePicker.TableRow key={id}>
                      {months.map((month, id) => (
                        <DatePicker.TableCell key={id} value={month.value}>
                          <DatePicker.TableCellTrigger>{month.label}</DatePicker.TableCellTrigger>
                        </DatePicker.TableCell>
                      ))}
                    </DatePicker.TableRow>
                  ))}
                </DatePicker.TableBody>
