react-native-calendar-picker v8.0.5
react-native-calendar-picker
This is a Calendar Picker Component for React Native
Breaking changes in 8.x - replaced moment with date-fns
We've migrated away from moment.js, in favor of date-fns, a modular and lightweight alternative. Users wanting to continue to use Moment should stick with 7.x
Prerequisites
CalendarPicker requires date-fns >=3.0. Date props may be anything parseable by the Javascript Date object, such as a Javascript Date, or ISO8601 datetime string.
npm install --save date-fnsScrollable CalendarPicker — New in 7.x
The scrollable prop was introduced in 7.0.0 and features a bi-directional infinite scroller. It recycles months using RecyclerListView, shifting them as the ends are reached. If the Chrome debugger is used during development, month shifting may be erratic due to a RN setTimeout bug. To prevent month shifts at the ends of the scroller, set restrictMonthNavigation, minDate, and maxDate range to 5 years or less.

To use the calendar you just need to:
npm install --save react-native-calendar-pickerExample
