@mui/x-date-pickers

What is @mui/x-date-pickers?

The @mui/x-date-pickers package provides date and time selection components that integrate with Material-UI. It allows developers to implement date pickers, time pickers, date-time pickers, and calendar views with ease, offering a consistent design language and user experience aligned with Material Design guidelines.

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';

function BasicDateTimePicker() {
  const [value, setValue] = React.useState(null);

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

Calendar

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)}
    />
  );
}
