React Calendar Icon Badge

A date badge component in the shape of a familiar calendar icon with support for theming and localization.

npm install --save react-calendar-icon

Usage

import React from "react";
import CalendarIcon from "react-calendar-icon";

export default function App(props) {
  return (
    <div>
      {/* ...  */}
      <CalendarIcon date={new Date()} />
    </div>
  );
}

Date formatting

The CalendarIcon component takes an optional prop options which can be used to adjust the way the date parts will be formatted. By default, the following configuration is used:

{
  header: { weekday: "long" },
  footer: { month: "long" },
  value: { day: "2-digit" },
  locale: []
}

The values for the header, footer and value sections of the icon are objects passed to (Date.prototype.toLocaleDateString())

import React from "react";
import CalendarIcon from "react-calendar-icon";

const dateOptions = {
  header: { weekday: "long" },
  footer: { month: "short" },
  value: { day: "2-digit" },
  locale: "nl"
};

export default function App(props) {
  return (
    <div>
      {/* ...  */}
      <CalendarIcon date={new Date()} options={dateOptions} />
    </div>
  );
}

Theming

It is possible to customize the look-and-feel of the icon by using a ThemeProvider component from @emotion/react. Add a calendarIcon member with the following attributes:

import React from "react";
import CalendarIcon from "react-calendar-icon";
import { ThemeProvider } from "@emotion/react";

const theme = {
  calendarIcon: {
    textColor: "white", // text color of the header and footer
    primaryColor: "#0da472", // background of the header and footer
    backgroundColor: "#fafafa"
  }
};

export default function App(props) {
  return (
    <ThemeProvider theme={theme}>
      {/* ...  */}
      <CalendarIcon date={new Date()} />
    </ThemeProvider>
  );
}
