Date Picker is created following the principles of Lexicon, Internationalization and Extension Points by default is integrated with Time Picker that offers the minimum of features to set a time.
By default Date Picker does not handle input masking, letting you take control so you can take care of internationalization. Date Picker will update the Calendar only when the value entered in the input is a valid date, respecting the dateFormat API.
For mobile viewing mode, Lexicon encourages you to use the native Date Picker, they are many robust and more accessible in the mobile view, Clay offers the useNative API to replace the Date Picker view mode with the native and continue to get the features of the component.
Warning
These components are meant to cover desktop browser needs. The OS native component
must be used on mobile devices.
The component is treated as controlled, use the onValueChange and value APIs to control the flow of information.
Warning
You can set a range of years using the API years, which can be displayed in the Date Picker, if the user enters a year that
is not within the range will be treated as an invalid date.
The ClayTimePicker by default is already implemented in the Date Picker, you can enable it using the time API. To provide a context for the timezone user, use the timezone API for this.
Range is used to allowing the user to select a date range using a single calendar. The user can interact in the single input to select the start and end dates using the - separator, the separator is fixed.
When a range is selected using the input or the calendar, the onValueChange callback is called with the value in string type, respecting the format of the dateFormat for both dates together with the separator.
Warning
The time is not supported when the
range
is enabled.
To set internationalization of the component, you need to configure the props according to the language. Date Picker offers low level APIs to configure firstDayOfWeek, weekdaysShort, months, timezone and dateFormat, you can follow the example below to set up a Date Picker for Russian.
firstDayOfWeek
by default the value by default the value is 0 (Sunday) and its values are the days of the week, 1 (Monday), 2 (Tuesday), 3 (Wednesday), 4 (Thursday), 5 (Friday), 6 (Saturday).
months

Array<string>
with available months
starting January to December
.
weekdaysShort
is an
Array<string>
with the
names of the days of the week in short form
, starting from
Sunday to Saturday
.
Warning

weekdaysShort
the definition of the API
firstDayOfWeek

Custom Footer
To customize the Date Picker content footer you can use the footerElement API, its type is a Function that should return an element (Read more about renders props), this personalization point is treated as an extension point in the Lexicon language.
If you want to expand or close the picker from outside of the component, use the props expand and onExpandChange.
Note about Moment.js
In version 3.4.0, we made the decision to switch to use date-fns instead of Moment.js due to dependency size. Making this changed help reduce the size of @clayui/date-picker by almost 50 KB.
