DateField

A date field allows users to enter and edit date and time values using a keyboard. Each part of a date value is displayed in an individually editable segment.

import {DateField} from './DateField';

<DateField label="Date" />

Value

Use the value or defaultValue prop to set the date value, using objects in the @internationalized/date package. This library supports parsing date strings in multiple formats, manipulation across international calendar systems, time zones, etc.

import {parseDate, getLocalTimeZone} from '@internationalized/date';
import {useDateFormatter} from 'react-aria';
import {DateField} from './DateField';
import {useState} from 'react';

function Example() {
  let [date, setDate] = useState(parseDate('2020-02-03'));
  let formatter = useDateFormatter({ dateStyle: 'full' });
  
  return (
    <>
      <DateField
        value={date}
        onChange={setDate} />
      <p>Selected date: {date ? formatter.format(date.toDate(getLocalTimeZone())) : '--'}</p>
    </>
  );
}

Format options

The date format is automatically determined based on the user's locale. DateField supports several props to control how values are displayed.

import {parseZonedDateTime} from '@internationalized/date';
import {DateField} from './DateField';

<DateField
  label="Date"
  defaultValue={parseZonedDateTime('2025-02-03T08:45:00[America/Los_Angeles]')} />

International calendars

By default, DateField displays the value using the calendar system for the user's locale. Use <I18nProvider> to override the calendar system by setting the Unicode calendar locale extension. The onChange event always receives a date in the same calendar as the value or defaultValue (Gregorian if no value is provided), regardless of the displayed locale.

import {I18nProvider} from 'react-aria-components';
import {parseZonedDateTime} from '@internationalized/date';
import {DateField} from './DateField';

<I18nProvider locale="hi-IN-u-ca-indian">
  <DateField defaultValue={parseZonedDateTime('2025-02-03T08:45:00[America/Los_Angeles]')} />
</I18nProvider>

Forms

Use the name prop to submit the selected date to the server as an ISO 8601 string. Set the isRequired, minValue, or maxValue props to validate the value, or implement custom client or server-side validation. See the Forms guide to learn more.

import {today, getLocalTimeZone} from '@internationalized/date';
import {DateField} from './DateField';
import {Button} from './Button';
import {Form} from 'react-aria-components';

<Form>
  <DateField
    label="Appointment date"
    name="date"
    isRequired
    minValue={today(getLocalTimeZone())}
  />
  <Button type="submit">Submit</Button>
</Form>
