Value#

A DateField displays a placeholder date by default. An initial, uncontrolled value can be provided to the DateField using the defaultValue prop. Alternatively, a controlled value can be provided using the value prop.

Date values are provided using objects in the @internationalized/date package. This library handles correct international date manipulation across calendars, time zones, and other localization concerns. DateField supports values of the following types:

CalendarDate – a date without any time components. May be parsed from a string representation using the parseDate function. Use this type to represent dates where the time is not important, such as a birthday or an all day calendar event.
CalendarDateTime – a date with a time, but not in any specific time zone. May be parsed from a string representation using the parseDateTime function. Use this type to represent times that occur at the same local time regardless of the time zone, such as the time of New Years Eve fireworks which always occur at midnight. Most times are better stored as a ZonedDateTime.
ZonedDateTime – a date with a time in a specific time zone. May be parsed from a string representation using the parseZonedDateTime, parseAbsolute, or parseAbsoluteToLocal functions. Use this type to represent an exact moment in time at a particular location on Earth.

import {parseDate} from '@internationalized/date';

function Example() {
  let [value, setValue] = React.useState(parseDate('2020-02-03'));

  return (
    <Flex gap="size-150" wrap>
      <DateField
        label="Date (uncontrolled)"
        defaultValue={parseDate('2020-02-03')} />
      <DateField
        label="Date (controlled)"
        value={value}
        onChange={setValue} />
    </Flex>
  );
}

import {parseDate} from '@internationalized/date';

function Example() {
  let [value, setValue] = React.useState(
    parseDate('2020-02-03')
  );

  return (
    <Flex gap="size-150" wrap>
      <DateField
        label="Date (uncontrolled)"
        defaultValue={parseDate('2020-02-03')}
      />
      <DateField
        label="Date (controlled)"
        value={value}
        onChange={setValue}
      />
    </Flex>
  );
}

import {parseDate} from '@internationalized/date';

function Example() {
  let [value, setValue] =
    React.useState(
      parseDate(
        '2020-02-03'
      )
    );

  return (
    <Flex
      gap="size-150"
      wrap
    >
      <DateField
        label="Date (uncontrolled)"
        defaultValue={parseDate(
          '2020-02-03'
        )}
      />
      <DateField
        label="Date (controlled)"
        value={value}
        onChange={setValue}
      />
    </Flex>
  );
}

Time zones#

DateField is time zone aware when a ZonedDateTime object is provided as the value. In this case, the time zone abbreviation is displayed, and time zone concerns such as daylight saving time are taken into account when the value is manipulated.

In most cases, your data will come from and be sent to a server as an ISO 8601 formatted string. @internationalized/date includes functions for parsing strings in multiple formats into ZonedDateTime objects. Which format you use will depend on what information you need to store.

parseZonedDateTime – This function parses a date with an explicit time zone and optional UTC offset attached (e.g. "2021-11-07T00:45[America/Los_Angeles]" or "2021-11-07T00:45-07:00[America/Los_Angeles]"). This format preserves the maximum amount of information. If the exact local time and time zone that a user selected is important, use this format. Storing the time zone and offset that was selected rather than converting to UTC ensures that the local time is correct regardless of daylight saving rule changes (e.g. if a locale abolishes DST). Examples where this applies include calendar events, reminders, and other times that occur in a particular location.
parseAbsolute – This function parses an absolute date and time that occurs at the same instant at all locations on Earth. It can be represented in UTC (e.g. "2021-11-07T07:45:00Z"), or stored with a particular offset (e.g. "2021-11-07T07:45:00-07:00"). A time zone identifier, e.g. America/Los_Angeles, must be passed, and the result will be converted into that time zone. Absolute times are the best way to represent events that occurred in the past, or future events where an exact time is needed, regardless of time zone.
parseAbsoluteToLocal – This function parses an absolute date and time into the current user's local time zone. It is a shortcut for parseAbsolute, and accepts the same formats.

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

<DateField
  label="Event date"
  defaultValue={parseZonedDateTime('2022-11-07T00:45[America/Los_Angeles]')}
/>

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

<DateField
  label="Event date"
  defaultValue={parseZonedDateTime(
    '2022-11-07T00:45[America/Los_Angeles]'
  )}
/>

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

<DateField
  label="Event date"
  defaultValue={parseZonedDateTime(
    '2022-11-07T00:45[America/Los_Angeles]'
  )}
/>

DateField displays times in the time zone included in the ZoneDateTime object. The above example is always displayed in Pacific Standard Time because the America/Los_Angeles time zone identifier is provided. @internationalized/date includes functions for converting dates between time zones, or parsing a date directly into a specific time zone or the user's local time zone, as shown below.

import {parseAbsoluteToLocal} from '@internationalized/date';

<DateField
  label="Event date"
  defaultValue={parseAbsoluteToLocal('2021-11-07T07:45:00Z')}
/>

import {parseAbsoluteToLocal} from '@internationalized/date';

<DateField
  label="Event date"
  defaultValue={parseAbsoluteToLocal(
    '2021-11-07T07:45:00Z'
  )}
/>

import {parseAbsoluteToLocal} from '@internationalized/date';

<DateField
  label="Event date"
  defaultValue={parseAbsoluteToLocal(
    '2021-11-07T07:45:00Z'
  )}
/>

Granularity#

The granularity prop allows you to control the smallest unit that is displayed by a DateField. By default, CalendarDate values are displayed with "day" granularity (year, month, and day), and CalendarDateTime and ZonedDateTime values are displayed with "minute" granularity. More granular time values can be displayed by setting the granularity prop to "second".

In addition, when a value with a time is provided but you wish to only display the date, you can set the granularity to "day". This has no effect on the actual value (it still has a time component), only on what fields are displayed. In the following example, two DateFields are synchronized with the same value, but display different granularities.

function Example() {
  let [date, setDate] = React.useState(
    parseAbsoluteToLocal('2021-04-07T18:45:22Z')
  );

  return (
    <Flex gap="size-150" wrap>
      <DateField
        label="Date and time"
        granularity="second"
        value={date}
        onChange={setDate}
      />
      <DateField
        label="Date"
        granularity="day"
        value={date}
        onChange={setDate}
      />
    </Flex>
  );
}

function Example() {
  let [date, setDate] = React.useState(
    parseAbsoluteToLocal('2021-04-07T18:45:22Z')
  );

  return (
    <Flex gap="size-150" wrap>
      <DateField
        label="Date and time"
        granularity="second"
        value={date}
        onChange={setDate}
      />
      <DateField
        label="Date"
        granularity="day"
        value={date}
        onChange={setDate}
      />
    </Flex>
  );
}

function Example() {
  let [date, setDate] =
    React.useState(
      parseAbsoluteToLocal(
        '2021-04-07T18:45:22Z'
      )
    );

  return (
    <Flex
      gap="size-150"
      wrap
    >
      <DateField
        label="Date and time"
        granularity="second"
        value={date}
        onChange={setDate}
      />
      <DateField
        label="Date"
        granularity="day"
        value={date}
        onChange={setDate}
      />
    </Flex>
  );
}

If no value or defaultValue prop is passed, then the granularity prop also affects which type of value is emitted from the onChange event. Note that by default, time values will not have a time zone because none was supplied. You can override this by setting the placeholderValue prop explicitly. Values emitted from onChange will use the time zone of the placeholder value.

import {now} from '@internationalized/date';

<Flex gap="size-150" wrap>
  <DateField
    label="Event date"
    granularity="second" />
  <DateField
    label="Event date"
    placeholderValue={now('America/New_York')}
    granularity="second" />
</Flex>

import {now} from '@internationalized/date';

<Flex gap="size-150" wrap>
  <DateField
    label="Event date"
    granularity="second" />
  <DateField
    label="Event date"
    placeholderValue={now('America/New_York')}
    granularity="second" />
</Flex>

import {now} from '@internationalized/date';

<Flex
  gap="size-150"
  wrap
>
  <DateField
    label="Event date"
    granularity="second"
  />
  <DateField
    label="Event date"
    placeholderValue={now(
      'America/New_York'
    )}
    granularity="second"
  />
</Flex>

International calendars#

DateField supports selecting dates in many calendar systems used around the world, including Gregorian, Hebrew, Indian, Islamic, Buddhist, and more. Dates are automatically displayed in the appropriate calendar system for the user's locale. The calendar system can be overridden using the Unicode calendar locale extension, passed to the Provider component.

Selected dates passed to onChange always use the same calendar system as the value or defaultValue prop. If no value or defaultValue is provided, then dates passed to onChange are always in the Gregorian calendar since this is the most commonly used. This means that even though the user selects dates in their local calendar system, applications are able to deal with dates from all users consistently.

The below example displays a DateField in the Hindi language, using the Indian calendar. Dates emitted from onChange are in the Gregorian calendar.

import {Provider} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';

function Example() {
  let [date, setDate] = React.useState(null);
  return (
    <Provider locale="hi-IN-u-ca-indian">
      <DateField label="Date" value={date} onChange={setDate} />
      <p>Selected date: {date?.toString()}</p>
    </Provider>
  );
}

import {Provider} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';

function Example() {
  let [date, setDate] = React.useState(null);
  return (
    <Provider locale="hi-IN-u-ca-indian">
      <DateField
        label="Date"
        value={date}
        onChange={setDate}
      />
      <p>Selected date: {date?.toString()}</p>
    </Provider>
  );
}

import {Provider} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';

function Example() {
  let [date, setDate] =
    React.useState(null);
  return (
    <Provider locale="hi-IN-u-ca-indian">
      <DateField
        label="Date"
        value={date}
        onChange={setDate}
      />
      <p>
        Selected date:
        {' '}
        {date
          ?.toString()}
      </p>
    </Provider>
  );
}

Labeling#

A visual label should be provided for the DateField using the label prop. If the DateField is required, the isRequired and necessityIndicator props can be used to show a required state.

<Flex gap="size-150" wrap>
  <DateField label="Birth date" />
  <DateField label="Birth date" isRequired necessityIndicator="icon" />
  <DateField label="Birth date" isRequired necessityIndicator="label" />
  <DateField label="Birth date" necessityIndicator="label" />
</Flex>

<Flex gap="size-150" wrap>
  <DateField label="Birth date" />
  <DateField
    label="Birth date"
    isRequired
    necessityIndicator="icon"
  />
  <DateField
    label="Birth date"
    isRequired
    necessityIndicator="label"
  />
  <DateField
    label="Birth date"
    necessityIndicator="label"
  />
</Flex>

<Flex
  gap="size-150"
  wrap
>
  <DateField label="Birth date" />
  <DateField
    label="Birth date"
    isRequired
    necessityIndicator="icon"
  />
  <DateField
    label="Birth date"
    isRequired
    necessityIndicator="label"
  />
  <DateField
    label="Birth date"
    necessityIndicator="label"
  />
</Flex>

Accessibility#

If a visible label isn't specified, an aria-label must be provided to the DateField for accessibility. If the field is labeled by a separate element, an aria-labelledby prop must be provided using the id of the labeling element instead.

Internationalization#

In order to internationalize a DateField, a localized string should be passed to the label or aria-label prop. When the necessityIndicator prop is set to "label", a localized string will be provided for "(required)" or "(optional)" automatically.

Events#

DateField accepts an onChange prop which is triggered whenever the date is edited by the user. The example below uses onChange to update a separate element with a formatted version of the date in the user's locale and local time zone. This is done by converting the date to a native JavaScript Date object to pass to the formatter.

import {getLocalTimeZone} from '@internationalized/date';
import {useDateFormatter} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';

function Example() {
  let [date, setDate] = React.useState(parseDate('1985-07-03'));
  let formatter = useDateFormatter({dateStyle: 'full'});

  return (
    <>
      <DateField label="Birth date" value={date} onChange={setDate} />
      <p>Selected date: {formatter.format(date.toDate(getLocalTimeZone()))}</p>
    </>
  );
}

import {getLocalTimeZone} from '@internationalized/date';
import {useDateFormatter} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';

function Example() {
  let [date, setDate] = React.useState(
    parseDate('1985-07-03')
  );
  let formatter = useDateFormatter({ dateStyle: 'full' });

  return (
    <>
      <DateField
        label="Birth date"
        value={date}
        onChange={setDate}
      />
      <p>
        Selected date:{' '}
        {formatter.format(date.toDate(getLocalTimeZone()))}
      </p>
    </>
  );
}

import {getLocalTimeZone} from '@internationalized/date';
import {useDateFormatter} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';

function Example() {
  let [date, setDate] =
    React.useState(
      parseDate(
        '1985-07-03'
      )
    );
  let formatter =
    useDateFormatter({
      dateStyle: 'full'
    });

  return (
    <>
      <DateField
        label="Birth date"
        value={date}
        onChange={setDate}
      />
      <p>
        Selected date:
        {' '}
        {formatter
          .format(
            date.toDate(
              getLocalTimeZone()
            )
          )}
      </p>
    </>
  );
}

Validation#

DateField can display a validation state to communicate to the user whether the current value is valid or invalid. Implement your own validation logic in your app and pass either "valid" or "invalid" via the validationState prop. The errorMessage prop can be used to communicate errors to the user.

This example validates that the selected date is a weekday and not a weekend according to the current locale.

import {today, isWeekend} from '@internationalized/date';
import {useLocale} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';

function Example() {
  let [date, setDate] = React.useState(today(getLocalTimeZone()));
  let {locale} = useLocale();

  return (
    <DateField
      label="Appointment date"
      value={date}
      onChange={setDate}
      validationState={isWeekend(date, locale) ? 'invalid' : 'valid'}
      description="Select a weekday"
      errorMessage="We are closed on weekends" />
  );
}

import {isWeekend, today} from '@internationalized/date';
import {useLocale} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';

function Example() {
  let [date, setDate] = React.useState(
    today(getLocalTimeZone())
  );
  let { locale } = useLocale();

  return (
    <DateField
      label="Appointment date"
      value={date}
      onChange={setDate}
      validationState={isWeekend(date, locale)
        ? 'invalid'
        : 'valid'}
      description="Select a weekday"
      errorMessage="We are closed on weekends"
    />
  );
}

import {
  isWeekend,
  today
} from '@internationalized/date';
import {useLocale} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';

function Example() {
  let [date, setDate] =
    React.useState(
      today(
        getLocalTimeZone()
      )
    );
  let { locale } =
    useLocale();

  return (
    <DateField
      label="Appointment date"
      value={date}
      onChange={setDate}
      validationState={isWeekend(
          date,
          locale
        )
        ? 'invalid'
        : 'valid'}
      description="Select a weekday"
      errorMessage="We are closed on weekends"
    />
  );
}

Minimum and maximum values#

The minValue and maxValue props can also be used to perform builtin validation. This displays an invalid state if the user enters an invalid date.

This example only accepts dates after today.

<DateField
  label="Appointment date"
  minValue={today(getLocalTimeZone())}
  defaultValue={parseDate('2022-02-03')} />

<DateField
  label="Appointment date"
  minValue={today(getLocalTimeZone())}
  defaultValue={parseDate('2022-02-03')} />

<DateField
  label="Appointment date"
  minValue={today(
    getLocalTimeZone()
  )}
  defaultValue={parseDate(
    '2022-02-03'
  )}
/>

Visual options#

Quiet#

<DateField label="Birth date" isQuiet />

<DateField label="Birth date" isQuiet />

<DateField
  label="Birth date"
  isQuiet
/>

Disabled#

<DateField label="Birth date" isDisabled />

<DateField label="Birth date" isDisabled />

<DateField
  label="Birth date"
  isDisabled
/>

Read only#

The isReadOnly boolean prop makes the DateField's value immutable. Unlike isDisabled, the DateField remains focusable.

<DateField label="Birth date" value={today(getLocalTimeZone())} isReadOnly />

<DateField
  label="Birth date"
  value={today(getLocalTimeZone())}
  isReadOnly
/>

<DateField
  label="Birth date"
  value={today(
    getLocalTimeZone()
  )}
  isReadOnly
/>

Label alignment and position#

View guidelines

By default, the label is positioned above the DateField. The labelPosition prop can be used to position the label to the side. The labelAlign prop can be used to align the label as "start" or "end". For left-to-right (LTR) languages, "start" refers to the left most edge of the DateField and "end" refers to the right most edge. For right-to-left (RTL) languages, this is flipped.

<DateField label="Birth date" labelPosition="side" labelAlign="end" />

<DateField
  label="Birth date"
  labelPosition="side"
  labelAlign="end"
/>

<DateField
  label="Birth date"
  labelPosition="side"
  labelAlign="end"
/>

Help text#

View guidelines

Both a description and an error message can be supplied to a DateField. The description is always visible unless the validationState is “invalid” and an error message is provided. The error message can be used to help the user fix their input quickly and should be specific to the detected error. All strings should be localized. See the Validation section above for an example.

DateField also supports displaying the expected date format for the user's locale automatically using the showFormatHelpText prop.

<DateField label="Birth date" showFormatHelpText />

<DateField label="Birth date" showFormatHelpText />

<DateField
  label="Birth date"
  showFormatHelpText
/>

Placeholder value#

When no value is set, a placeholder value is shown. By default, this is today's date at midnight. However, this can be overridden by setting the placeholderValue prop to a more appropriate placeholder for your specific usecase.

import {CalendarDate} from '@internationalized/date';

<DateField
  label="Birth date"
  placeholderValue={new CalendarDate(1980, 1, 1)}
/>

import {CalendarDate} from '@internationalized/date';

<DateField
  label="Birth date"
  placeholderValue={new CalendarDate(1980, 1, 1)}
/>

import {CalendarDate} from '@internationalized/date';

<DateField
  label="Birth date"
  placeholderValue={new CalendarDate(
    1980,
    1,
    1
  )}
/>

Hide time zone#

When a ZonedDateTime object is provided as the value of a DateField, the time zone abbreviation is displayed by default. However, if this is displayed elsewhere or implicit based on the usecase, it can be hidden using the hideTimeZone option.

<DateField
  label="Appointment time"
  defaultValue={parseZonedDateTime('2022-11-07T10:45[America/Los_Angeles]')}
  hideTimeZone />

<DateField
  label="Appointment time"
  defaultValue={parseZonedDateTime(
    '2022-11-07T10:45[America/Los_Angeles]'
  )}
  hideTimeZone
/>

<DateField
  label="Appointment time"
  defaultValue={parseZonedDateTime(
    '2022-11-07T10:45[America/Los_Angeles]'
  )}
  hideTimeZone
/>

Hour cycle#

By default, DateField displays times in either 12 or 24 hour hour format depending on the user's locale. However, this can be overridden using the hourCycle prop if needed for a specific usecase. This example forces the DateField to use 24-hour time, regardless of the locale.

<DateField
  label="Appointment time"
  granularity="minute"
  hourCycle={24} />

<DateField
  label="Appointment time"
  granularity="minute"
  hourCycle={24} />

<DateField
  label="Appointment time"
  granularity="minute"
  hourCycle={24}
/>
