react-native-neat-date-picker

React Native Neat Date Picker

An easy-to-use date picker for React Native.

Main Features

Supports both Android and iOS devices.
Provides range and single selection modes.
Utilizes modern Date object for date manipulation.
Offers color customization.
Clean UI
Supports multiple languages by default: Chinese, English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Malagasy, and Vietnamese. You can also add any language by yourself.

New Update

(v1.5.0) Supports custom languages. Improves performance and accessibility.

Limitation

This package is NOT designed for react-native-web. It can work on the web but may have issues.

For Expo users, it is recommended to use SDK 45 since react-native-modal v13.0 is compatible with react-native >= 0.65.

Dependencies

No manual dependency installation required.

Installation

npm i react-native-neat-date-picker

Example

import { useState } from 'react'
import { Button, StyleSheet, Text, View } from 'react-native'
import DatePicker, { RangeOutput, SingleOutput } from 'react-native-neat-date-picker'


const App = () => {
  const [showDatePickerSingle, setShowDatePickerSingle] = useState(false)
  const [showDatePickerRange, setShowDatePickerRange] = useState(false)

  const [date, setDate] = useState('')
  const [startDate, setStartDate] = useState('')
  const [endDate, setEndDate] = useState('')

  const openDatePickerSingle = () => setShowDatePickerSingle(true)
  const openDatePickerRange = () => setShowDatePickerRange(true)

  const onCancelSingle = () => {
    // You should close the modal here
    setShowDatePickerSingle(false)
  }

  const onConfirmSingle = (output: SingleOutput) => {
    // You should close the modal here
    setShowDatePickerSingle(false)

    // The parameter 'output' is an object containing date and dateString (for single mode).
    // For range mode, the output contains startDate, startDateString, endDate, and endDateString
    console.log(output)
    setDate(output.dateString ?? '')
  }

  const onCancelRange = () => {
    setShowDatePickerRange(false)
  }

  const onConfirmRange = (output: RangeOutput) => {
    setShowDatePickerRange(false)
    setStartDate(output.startDateString ?? '')
    setEndDate(output.endDateString ?? '')
  }

  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      {/* Single Date */}
      <Button title={'single'} onPress={openDatePickerSingle} />
      <DatePicker
        isVisible={showDatePickerSingle}
        mode={'single'}
        onCancel={onCancelSingle}
        onConfirm={onConfirmSingle}
      />
      <Text>{date}</Text>

      {/* Date Range */}
      <Button title={'range'} onPress={openDatePickerRange} />
      <DatePicker
        isVisible={showDatePickerRange}
        mode={'range'}
        onCancel={onCancelRange}
        onConfirm={onConfirmRange}
      />
      <Text>{startDate && `${startDate} ~ ${endDate}`}</Text>
    </View>
  )
}

export default App

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    backgroundColor: '#fff',
    justifyContent: 'center',
    alignItems: 'center',

onConfirm

The onConfirm prop provides an output object.

• Single mode: { date, dateString }

• Range mode: { startDate, startDateString, endDate, endDateString }

Example:

// Single mode
const handleConfirm = ({ date, dateString }) => {
  console.log(date.getTime());
  console.log(dateString);
};

// Range mode
const handleConfirm = ({ startDate, startDateString, endDate, endDateString }) => {
  console.log(startDate.getTime());
  console.log(startDateString);
  console.log(endDate.getTime());
  console.log(endDateString);
};

...

<DatePicker onConfirm={handleConfirm} />

Customize Language

Example:

{
  months: {
    '0': 'Jan',
    '1': 'Feb',
    '2': 'Mar',
    '3': 'Apr',
    '4': 'May',
    '5': 'Jun',
    '6': 'Jul',
    '7': 'Aug',
    '8': 'Sep',
    '9': 'Oct',
    '10': 'Nov',
    '11': 'Dec',
  },
  weekDays: ['S', 'M', 'T', 'W', 'T', 'F', 'S'],
  accept: 'OK',
  cancel: 'Cancel',
}

ColorOptions

The colorOptions prop contains several color settings. It helps you customize the date picker.

Option	Type	discription
backgroundColor	String	Background color of the date picker and year selection modal.
headerColor	String	Background color of the header.
headerTextColor	String	Text and icon color in the header.
changeYearModalColor	string	Text and icon color in the year selection modal.
weekDaysColor	string	Text color for weekday labels (e.g., Monday, Tuesday).
dateTextColor*	string	Text color for unselected dates.
selectedDateTextColor*	string	Text color for selected dates.
selectedDateBackgroundColor*	string	Background color for selected dates.
confirmButtonColor	string	Text color of the confirm button.

* : Only six-digits HEX code colors (like #ffffff. #fff won't work) are supported because I do something like this behind the scene.

style={{color:'{dateTextColor}22'}}  // '#rrggbbaa'

Example:

const colorOptions = {
  headerColor:'#9DD9D2',
  backgroundColor:'#FFF8F0'
}
...
<DatePicker
  ...
  colorOptions={colorOptions}
/>

TODOs

• Add font customization.
• Turn to typescript.
