Value#

A DatePicker displays a placeholder by default. An initial, uncontrolled value can be provided to the DatePicker 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. DatePicker 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>
      <DatePicker
        label="Date (uncontrolled)"
        defaultValue={parseDate('2020-02-03')} />
      <DatePicker
        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>
      <DatePicker
        label="Date (uncontrolled)"
        defaultValue={parseDate('2020-02-03')}
      />
      <DatePicker
        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
    >
      <DatePicker
        label="Date (uncontrolled)"
        defaultValue={parseDate(
          '2020-02-03'
        )}
      />
      <DatePicker
        label="Date (controlled)"
        value={value}
        onChange={setValue}
      />
    </Flex>
  );
}

Time zones#

DatePicker 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';

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

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

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

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

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

DatePicker displays times in the time zone included in the ZonedDateTime 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';

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

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

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

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

<DatePicker
  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 DatePicker. 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 DatePickers 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>
      <DatePicker
        label="Date and time"
        granularity="second"
        value={date}
        onChange={setDate}
      />
      <DatePicker
        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>
      <DatePicker
        label="Date and time"
        granularity="second"
        value={date}
        onChange={setDate}
      />
      <DatePicker
        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
    >
      <DatePicker
        label="Date and time"
        granularity="second"
        value={date}
        onChange={setDate}
      />
      <DatePicker
        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>
  <DatePicker
    label="Event date"
    granularity="second" />
  <DatePicker
    label="Event date"
    placeholderValue={now('America/New_York')}
    granularity="second" />
</Flex>

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

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

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

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

International calendars#

DatePicker 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 DatePicker 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">
      <DatePicker 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">
      <DatePicker
        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">
      <DatePicker
        label="Date"
        value={date}
        onChange={setDate}
      />
      <p>
        Selected date:
        {' '}
        {date
          ?.toString()}
      </p>
    </Provider>
  );
}

HTML forms#

DatePicker supports the name prop for integration with HTML forms. The value will be submitted to the server as an ISO 8601 formatted string according to the granularity of the value. For example, if the date picker allows selecting only a date then a string such as "2023-02-03" will be submitted, and if it allows selecting a time then a string such as "2023-02-03T08:45:00" will be submitted. See the Value section above for more details about the supported value types.

<DatePicker label="Birth date" name="birthday" />

<DatePicker label="Birth date" name="birthday" />

<DatePicker
  label="Birth date"
  name="birthday"
/>

Labeling#

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

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

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

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

Accessibility#

If a visible label isn't specified, an aria-label must be provided to the DatePicker 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 DatePicker, 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#

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

Validation#

DatePicker supports the isRequired prop to ensure the user enters a value, as well as minimum and maximum values, and custom client and server-side validation. It can also be integrated with other form libraries. See the Forms guide to learn more.

When the Form component has the validationBehavior="native" prop, validation errors block form submission and are displayed as help text automatically. Errors are displayed when the user blurs the date picker or submits the form.

import {Form, ButtonGroup, Button} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';

<Form validationBehavior="native" maxWidth="size-3000">
  <DatePicker label="Appointment date" name="date" isRequired />  <ButtonGroup>
    <Button type="submit" variant="primary">Submit</Button>
    <Button type="reset" variant="secondary">Reset</Button>
  </ButtonGroup>
</Form>

import {
  Button,
  ButtonGroup,
  Form
} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';

<Form validationBehavior="native" maxWidth="size-3000">
  <DatePicker
    label="Appointment date"
    name="date"
    isRequired
  />  <ButtonGroup>
    <Button type="submit" variant="primary">
      Submit
    </Button>
    <Button type="reset" variant="secondary">
      Reset
    </Button>
  </ButtonGroup>
</Form>

import {
  Button,
  ButtonGroup,
  Form
} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';

<Form
  validationBehavior="native"
  maxWidth="size-3000"
>
  <DatePicker
    label="Appointment date"
    name="date"
    isRequired
  />  <ButtonGroup>
    <Button
      type="submit"
      variant="primary"
    >
      Submit
    </Button>
    <Button
      type="reset"
      variant="secondary"
    >
      Reset
    </Button>
  </ButtonGroup>
</Form>

By default, DatePicker displays default validation messages provided by the browser. See Customizing error messages in the Forms guide to learn how to provide your own custom errors.

Minimum and maximum values#

The minValue and maxValue props can also be used to ensure the value is within a specific range. This example only accepts dates after today.

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

<Form validationBehavior="native" maxWidth="size-3000">
  <DatePicker
    label="Appointment date"
    minValue={today(getLocalTimeZone())}    defaultValue={parseDate('2022-02-03')} />
  <ButtonGroup>
    <Button type="submit" variant="primary">Submit</Button>
    <Button type="reset" variant="secondary">Reset</Button>
  </ButtonGroup>
</Form>

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

<Form validationBehavior="native" maxWidth="size-3000">
  <DatePicker
    label="Appointment date"
    minValue={today(getLocalTimeZone())}    defaultValue={parseDate('2022-02-03')} />
  <ButtonGroup>
    <Button type="submit" variant="primary">Submit</Button>
    <Button type="reset" variant="secondary">Reset</Button>
  </ButtonGroup>
</Form>

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

<Form
  validationBehavior="native"
  maxWidth="size-3000"
>
  <DatePicker
    label="Appointment date"
    minValue={today(
      getLocalTimeZone()
    )}    defaultValue={parseDate(
      '2022-02-03'
    )}
  />
  <ButtonGroup>
    <Button
      type="submit"
      variant="primary"
    >
      Submit
    </Button>
    <Button
      type="reset"
      variant="secondary"
    >
      Reset
    </Button>
  </ButtonGroup>
</Form>

Unavailable dates#

DatePicker supports marking certain dates as unavailable. These dates cannot be selected by the user and are displayed with a crossed out appearance in the calendar. In the date field, an invalid state is displayed if a user enters an unavailable date. The isDateUnavailable prop accepts a callback that is called to evaluate whether each visible date is unavailable.

This example includes multiple unavailable date ranges, e.g. dates when no appointments are available. In addition, all weekends are unavailable. The minValue prop is also used to prevent selecting dates before today.

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

function Example() {
  let now = today(getLocalTimeZone());
  let disabledRanges = [
    [now, now.add({ days: 5 })],
    [now.add({ days: 14 }), now.add({ days: 16 })],
    [now.add({ days: 23 }), now.add({ days: 24 })]
  ];

  let { locale } = useLocale();
  return (
    <DatePicker
      label="Appointment date"
      minValue={today(getLocalTimeZone())}
      isDateUnavailable={(date) =>
        isWeekend(date, locale) || disabledRanges.some((interval) =>
          date.compare(interval[0]) >= 0 && date.compare(interval[1]) <= 0
        )}      validationBehavior="native"
    />
  );
}

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

function Example() {
  let now = today(getLocalTimeZone());
  let disabledRanges = [
    [now, now.add({ days: 5 })],
    [now.add({ days: 14 }), now.add({ days: 16 })],
    [now.add({ days: 23 }), now.add({ days: 24 })]
  ];

  let { locale } = useLocale();
  return (
    <DatePicker
      label="Appointment date"
      minValue={today(getLocalTimeZone())}
      isDateUnavailable={(date) =>
        isWeekend(date, locale) ||
        disabledRanges.some((interval) =>
          date.compare(interval[0]) >= 0 &&
          date.compare(interval[1]) <= 0
        )}      validationBehavior="native"
    />
  );
}

    ],
    [
      now.add({

        ) ||
        disabledRanges

Custom validation#

The validate function can be used to perform custom validation logic. It receives the current date value, and should return a string or array of strings representing one or more error messages if the value is invalid.

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

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

function Example() {
  let { locale } = useLocale();

  return (
    <Form validationBehavior="native" maxWidth="size-3000">
      <DatePicker
        label="Appointment date"
        validate={(date) =>
          date && isWeekend(date, locale) ? 'We are closed on weekends.' : null}        defaultValue={parseDate('2023-10-28')}
      />
      <ButtonGroup>
        <Button type="submit" variant="primary">Submit</Button>
        <Button type="reset" variant="secondary">Reset</Button>
      </ButtonGroup>
    </Form>
  );
}

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

function Example() {
  let { locale } = useLocale();

  return (
    <Form validationBehavior="native" maxWidth="size-3000">
      <DatePicker
        label="Appointment date"
        validate={(date) =>
          date && isWeekend(date, locale)
            ? 'We are closed on weekends.'
            : null}        defaultValue={parseDate('2023-10-28')}
      />
      <ButtonGroup>
        <Button type="submit" variant="primary">
          Submit
        </Button>
        <Button type="reset" variant="secondary">
          Reset
        </Button>
      </ButtonGroup>
    </Form>
  );
}

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

Visual options#

Quiet#

<DatePicker label="Birth date" isQuiet />

<DatePicker label="Birth date" isQuiet />

<DatePicker
  label="Birth date"
  isQuiet
/>

Disabled#

<DatePicker label="Birth date" isDisabled />

<DatePicker label="Birth date" isDisabled />

<DatePicker
  label="Birth date"
  isDisabled
/>

Read only#

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

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

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

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

Label alignment and position#

View guidelines

By default, the label is positioned above the DatePicker. 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 DatePicker and "end" refers to the right most edge. For right-to-left (RTL) languages, this is flipped.

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

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

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

Help text#

View guidelines

Both a description and an error message can be supplied to a DatePicker. 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.

<Flex gap="size-100" wrap>
  <DatePicker
    label="Date"
    defaultValue={today(getLocalTimeZone())}
    validationState="valid"
    description="Select a meeting date."
  />
  <DatePicker
    label="Date"
    validationState="invalid"
    errorMessage="Empty input is not allowed."
  />
</Flex>

<Flex gap="size-100" wrap>
  <DatePicker
    label="Date"
    defaultValue={today(getLocalTimeZone())}
    validationState="valid"
    description="Select a meeting date."
  />
  <DatePicker
    label="Date"
    validationState="invalid"
    errorMessage="Empty input is not allowed."
  />
</Flex>

<Flex
  gap="size-100"
  wrap
>
  <DatePicker
    label="Date"
    defaultValue={today(
      getLocalTimeZone()
    )}
    validationState="valid"
    description="Select a meeting date."
  />
  <DatePicker
    label="Date"
    validationState="invalid"
    errorMessage="Empty input is not allowed."
  />
</Flex>

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

<DatePicker label="Birth date" showFormatHelpText />

<DatePicker label="Birth date" showFormatHelpText />

<DatePicker
  label="Birth date"
  showFormatHelpText
/>

Contextual help#

A ContextualHelp element may be placed next to the label to provide additional information or help about a DatePicker.

import {Content, ContextualHelp, Heading} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';

<DatePicker
  label="Appointment date"
  contextualHelp={
    <ContextualHelp variant="info">
      <Heading>Appointment changes</Heading>
      <Content>
        Your appointment date cannot be changed once it is scheduled.
      </Content>
    </ContextualHelp>
  }
/>

import {
  Content,
  ContextualHelp,
  Heading
} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';

<DatePicker
  label="Appointment date"
  contextualHelp={
    <ContextualHelp variant="info">
      <Heading>Appointment changes</Heading>
      <Content>
        Your appointment date cannot be changed once it is
        scheduled.
      </Content>
    </ContextualHelp>
  }
/>

import {
  Content,
  ContextualHelp,
  Heading
} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';

<DatePicker
  label="Appointment date"
  contextualHelp={
    <ContextualHelp variant="info">
      <Heading>
        Appointment
        changes
      </Heading>
      <Content>
        Your
        appointment
        date cannot be
        changed once it
        is scheduled.
      </Content>
    </ContextualHelp>
  }
/>

Placeholder value#

When no value is set, a placeholder is shown. The format of the placeholder is influenced by the granularity and placeholderValue props. placeholderValue also controls the default values of each segment when the user first interacts with them, e.g. using the up and down arrow keys, as well as the default month shown in the calendar popover. By default, the placeholderValue is the current date at midnight, but you can set it to a more appropriate value if needed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Maximum visible months#

By default, the calendar popover displays a single month. The maxVisibleMonths prop allows displaying up to 3 months at a time, if screen space permits.

<DatePicker label="Appointment date" maxVisibleMonths={3} />

<DatePicker label="Appointment date" maxVisibleMonths={3} />

<DatePicker
  label="Appointment date"
  maxVisibleMonths={3}
/>

Page behavior#

By default, when pressing the next or previous buttons, pagination will advance by the maxVisibleMonths value. This behavior can be changed to page by single months instead, by setting pageBehavior to single.

<DatePicker
  label="Appointment date"
  maxVisibleMonths={3}
  pageBehavior="single"
/>

<DatePicker
  label="Appointment date"
  maxVisibleMonths={3}
  pageBehavior="single"
/>

<DatePicker
  label="Appointment date"
  maxVisibleMonths={3}
  pageBehavior="single"
/>

Hide time zone#

When a ZonedDateTime object is provided as the value of a DatePicker, 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.

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

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

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

Hour cycle#

By default, DatePicker 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 DatePicker to use 24-hour time, regardless of the locale.

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

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

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