What is @types/react-datepicker?
The @types/react-datepicker package provides TypeScript definitions for the react-datepicker package. This allows developers using TypeScript to integrate the react-datepicker component into their projects with type checking, ensuring that props and options passed to the react-datepicker components are of the correct type. This enhances development experience by providing autocompletion and preventing common type-related errors.
What are @types/react-datepicker's main functionalities?
Basic Date Selection
This feature allows users to select a single date. The DatePicker component is imported from react-datepicker, and its selected and onChange props are used to manage the selected date state.
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import DatePicker from 'react-datepicker';
import 'react-datepicker/dist/react-datepicker.css';
function App() {
const [startDate, setStartDate] = useState(new Date());
return (
<DatePicker selected={startDate} onChange={(date) => setStartDate(date)} />
);
}
Date Range Selection
This feature enables users to select a range of dates. The DatePicker component's selectsRange prop is set to true, and the startDate and endDate props are used to manage the range of selected dates.
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import DatePicker from 'react-datepicker';
import 'react-datepicker/dist/react-datepicker.css';
function App() {
const [startDate, setStartDate] = useState(new Date());
const [endDate, setEndDate] = useState(new Date());
return (
<DatePicker
selected={startDate}
onChange={(dates) => {
const [start, end] = dates;
setStartDate(start);
setEndDate(end);
}}
startDate={startDate}
endDate={endDate}
selectsRange
/>
);
}
Custom Date Format
This feature allows the display format of the selected date to be customized using the dateFormat prop.
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import DatePicker from 'react-datepicker';
import 'react-datepicker/dist/react-datepicker.css';
function App() {
const [startDate, setStartDate] = useState(new Date());
return (
<DatePicker
selected={startDate}
onChange={(date) => setStartDate(date)}
dateFormat='yyyy/MM/dd'
/>
);
}
