Date Picker React Component

A lightweight, customizable date picker component for React. This component allows users to select dates easily and can be styled to match the look and feel of your app.

Installation

To install the Date Picker component in your React project, run the following command:

npm install date-picker-react

Usage

Once installed, you can import the DatePicker component into your React application and use it as shown below:

import React, { useState } from 'react';
import DatePicker from 'date-picker-react';
import 'date-picker-react/styles.css';  // Import CSS for styling

function App() {
  const [selectedDate, setSelectedDate] = useState(null);

  const handleDateChange = (date) => {
    setSelectedDate(date);
  };

  return (
    <div className="App">
      <h1>Pick a Date</h1>
      <DatePicker
        selected={selectedDate}
        onChange={handleDateChange}
        dateFormat="yyyy/MM/dd"
      />
      {selectedDate && <p>Selected Date: {selectedDate.toString()}</p>}
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

Props

The DatePicker component accepts the following props: | Prop | Type | Description | |-------------|---------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------| | selectedDate | Date or null | The currently selected date (optional). | | onDateChange | function | Callback function that is triggered when the date is changed. | | dateFormat| string | Date format for displaying the selected date. Default is MM/dd/yyyy. | | startDate | Date or null | The minimum selectable date. | | endDate | Date or null | The maximum selectable date. |

Customization

You can style the DatePicker using your own CSS. If you prefer, you can also use CSS-in-JS libraries like styled-components to customize the styles.

Example: Customizing the Date Format

You can customize the date format using the dateFormat prop. For example, to display the date as YYYY/MM/DD:

<DatePicker dateFormat="yyyy/MM/dd" />

Installation of Dependencies

If you choose to use styled-components or other CSS-in-JS solutions, you may need to install additional dependencies. For example, to use styled-components:

npm install styled-components
