What are @mui/x-date-pickers's main functionalities?
DatePicker
The DatePicker component allows users to select a date from a calendar dialog.
import * as React from 'react';
import TextField from '@mui/material/TextField';
import { DatePicker } from '@mui/x-date-pickers/DatePicker';
function BasicDatePicker() {
const [value, setValue] = React.useState(null);
return (
<DatePicker
label="Basic example"
value={value}
onChange={(newValue) => {
setValue(newValue);
}}
renderInput={(params) => <TextField {...params} />}
/>
);
}
TimePicker
The TimePicker component provides a way for users to select a time.
import * as React from 'react';
import TextField from '@mui/material/TextField';
import { TimePicker } from '@mui/x-date-pickers/TimePicker';
function BasicTimePicker() {
const [value, setValue] = React.useState(null);
return (
<TimePicker
label="Basic example"
value={value}
onChange={(newValue) => {
setValue(newValue);
}}
renderInput={(params) => <TextField {...params} />}
/>
);
}
DateTimePicker
The DateTimePicker combines date and time selection in one control.
import * as React from 'react';
import TextField from '@mui/material/TextField';
import { DateTimePicker } from '@mui/x-date-pickers/DateTimePicker';

label="Basic example"
value={value}
onChange={(newValue) => {
setValue(newValue);
}}
renderInput={(params) => <TextField {...params} />}
/>
);
}

The Calendar component displays a full calendar view for date selection without a text field.
import * as React from 'react';
import { Calendar } from '@mui/x-date-pickers/Calendar';
function BasicCalendar() {
const [date, setDate] = React.useState(new Date());
return (
<Calendar
date={date}
onChange={(newDate) => setDate(newDate)}
/>
);
}
