react-datetime

What is react-datetime?

The react-datetime package is a versatile and flexible date and time picker component for React applications. It allows users to select dates, times, or both, and provides various customization options to fit different use cases.

What are react-datetime's main functionalities?

Basic Date Picker

This feature allows users to select a date from a calendar view. The basic date picker is easy to implement and provides a straightforward way to choose dates.

import React from 'react';
import Datetime from 'react-datetime';
import 'react-datetime/css/react-datetime.css';

const BasicDatePicker = () => (
  <Datetime />
);

export default BasicDatePicker;

Time Picker

This feature allows users to select a time without selecting a date. By setting the dateFormat prop to false, the component will only display the time picker.

import React from 'react';
import Datetime from 'react-datetime';
import 'react-datetime/css/react-datetime.css';

const TimePicker = () => (
  <Datetime dateFormat={false} />
);

export default TimePicker;

Date and Time Picker

This feature combines both date and time selection in a single component. Users can pick both a date and a time, making it useful for scheduling events.

import React from 'react';
import Datetime from 'react-datetime';
import 'react-datetime/css/react-datetime.css';

const DateTimePicker = () => (
  <Datetime />
);

export default DateTimePicker;

Custom Date Format

This feature allows customization of the date format. By setting the dateFormat prop, users can specify how the date should be displayed.

import React from 'react';
import Datetime from 'react-datetime';
import 'react-datetime/css/react-datetime.css';

const CustomDateFormat = () => (
  <Datetime dateFormat="DD-MM-YYYY" />
);

export default CustomDateFormat;

Disable Past Dates

This feature disables the selection of past dates. By using the isValidDate prop, users can define a function to restrict date selection.

import React from 'react';
import Datetime from 'react-datetime';
import 'react-datetime/css/react-datetime.css';

const DisablePastDates = () => (
  <Datetime isValidDate={(current) => current.isAfter(Datetime.moment().subtract(1, 'day'))} />
);

export default DisablePastDates;
