The problem

You need a date-picker in your application that is accessible, can fit a number of use cases (single date, multi date, range), and has styling and layout that can be easily extended.

This solution

This is a component that focuses on controlling user interactions so you can focus on creating beautiful, accessible, and useful date-pickers. It uses a custom [Hook][react-hooks] or a [render function as children][render-function-as-children]. This means you are responsible for rendering everything, but props are provided by the Hook or render function, through a pattern called [prop getters][prop-getters], which can be used to help enhance what you are rendering.

This differs from other solutions which render things for their use case and then expose many options to allow for extensibility resulting in a bigger API that is less flexible as well as making the implementation more complicated and harder to contribute to.

Installation

This module is distributed via [npm][npm] which is bundled with [node][node] and should be installed as one of your project's dependencies:

npm install --save dayzed

Or, you can install this module through the [yarn][yarn] package manager.

yarn add dayzed

This package also depends on react@>=16.8.0 and prop-types. Please make sure you have those installed as well.

Note also this library supports preact@>=10 out of the box. If you are using preact then use the corresponding module in the preact/dist folder. You can even import Dayzed from 'dayzed/preact' or import { useDayzed } from 'dayzed/preact'

Props

date

date | defaults to new Date()

Used to calculate what month to display on initial render.

maxDate

date | optional

Used to calculate the maximum month to render.

minDate

date | optional

Used to calculate the minimum month to render.

monthsToDisplay

number | defaults to 1

Number of months returned, based off the date and offset props.

firstDayOfWeek

number | defaults to 0

First day of the week with possible values 0-6 (Sunday to Saturday). Defaults to Sunday.

showOutsideDays

boolean | defaults to false

Flag to fill front and back weeks with dates from adjacent months.

selected

any | optional

An array of Dates or a single Date that has been selected.

onDateSelected

function(selectedDate: Date, event: Event) | required

Called when the user selects a date.

selectedDate: The date that was just selected.
event: The event fired when the date was selected.

render

function({}) | required

This is called with an object. Read more about the properties of this object in the section "Render Prop Function".

offset

number | control prop (read more about this in the "Control Props" section below) - defaults to 0 if not controlled.

Number off months to offset from the date prop.

onOffsetChanged

function(offset: number) | control prop (read more about this in the "Control Props" section below)

Called when the user selects to go forward or back. This function is required if offset is being provided as a prop.

offset: The number of months offset.

Control Props

dayzed manages its own offset state internally and calls your onOffsetChanged handler when the offset changes. Your render prop function (read more below) can be used to manipulate this state from within the render function and can likely support many of your use cases.

However, if more control is needed, you can pass offset as a prop (as indicated above) and that state becomes controlled. As soon as this.props.offset !== undefined, internally, dayzed will determine its state based on your prop's value rather than its own internal state. You will be required to keep the state up to date (this is where the onOffsetChanged handler comes in really handy), but you can also control the state from anywhere, be that state from other components, redux, react-router, or anywhere else.

Note: This is very similar to how normal controlled components work elsewhere in react (like <input />). If you want to learn more about this concept, you can learn about that from this the ["Controlled Components" lecture][controlled-components-lecture]
