Calendar
Calendars display a grid of days in one or more months and allow users to select a single 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 {Calendar} from '@react-spectrum/s2';
import {useState} from 'react';
function Example() {
let [date, setDate] = useState(parseDate('2020-02-03'));
return (

<Calendar

onChange={setDate}
/>
<p>Selected date: {date.toDate(getLocalTimeZone()).toLocaleDateString()}</p>
</>
);
}
International calendars
By default, Calendar displays the value using the calendar system for the user's locale. Use <Provider> 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.

Custom calendar systems
Calendar also supports custom calendar systems that implement custom business rules, for example a fiscal year calendar that follows a 4-5-4 format, where month ranges don't follow the usual Gregorian calendar. See the @internationalized/date docs for an example implementation.

import {CalendarDate, startOfWeek, toCalendar, GregorianCalendar} from '@internationalized/date';
import {Calendar} from '@react-spectrum/s2';
export default (
<Calendar
firstDayOfWeek="sun"
createCalendar={() => new Custom454()} />
);
// See @internationalized/date docs linked above.
Validation
Use the minValue and maxValue props to set the valid date range. The isDateUnavailable callback prevents certain dates from being selected. For custom validation rules, set the isInvalid and errorMessage props.

Controlling the focused date
Use the focusedValue or defaultFocusedValue prop to control which date is focused. This controls which month is visible. The onFocusChange event is called when a date is focused by the user.
