  • Supports virtually any language
  • No moment.js needed

tl;dr

  • Install by executing npm install @wojtekmaj/react-datetimerange-picker or yarn add @wojtekmaj/react-datetimerange-picker.
  • Import by adding import DateTimeRangePicker from '@wojtekmaj/react-datetimerange-picker'.
  • Use by adding <DateTimeRangePicker />. Use onChange prop for getting new values.

Demo

A minimal demo page can be found in sample directory.

Online demo is also available!

Consider native alternative

If you don't need to support legacy browsers and don't need the advanced features this package provides, consider using native datetime input instead. It's more accessible, adds no extra weight to your bundle, and works better on mobile devices.

<input aria-label="Date and time from" max={valueTo} min={minDatetime} type="datetime-local" />
<input aria-label="Date and time to" max={maxDatetime} min={valueFrom} type="datetime-local" />

Looking for a time picker or a datetime picker?

React-DateTimeRange-Picker will play nicely with React-Date-Picker, React-Time-Picker and React-DateTime-Picker. Check them out!

Getting started

Compatibility

Your project needs to use React 16.3 or later. If you use an older version of React, please refer to the table below to find a suitable React-DateTimeRange-Picker version.

React version Newest compatible React-DateTimeRange-Picker version
≥16.8 latest
≥16.3 4.x
≥16.0 2.x

React-Calendar, on which React-DateTimeRange-Picker relies heavily, uses modern web technologies. That's why it's so fast, lightweight and easy to style. This, however, comes at a cost of supporting only modern browsers.

Installation

Add React-DateTimeRange-Picker to your project by executing npm install @wojtekmaj/react-datetimerange-picker or yarn add @wojtekmaj/react-datetimerange-picker.

Usage

Here's an example of basic usage:

import { useState } from 'react';
import DateTimeRangePicker from '@wojtekmaj/react-datetimerange-picker';

type ValuePiece = Date | null;

type Value = ValuePiece | [ValuePiece, ValuePiece];

function MyApp() {
  const [value, onChange] = useState<Value>([new Date(), new Date()]);

  return (
    <div>
      <DateTimeRangePicker onChange={onChange} value={value} />
    </div>
  );
}

Custom styling

If you want to use default React-Date-Picker, React-Calendar and React-Clock styling to build upon it, you can import them by using:

import '@wojtekmaj/react-datetimerange-picker/dist/DateTimeRangePicker.css';
import 'react-calendar/dist/Calendar.css';
import 'react-clock/dist/Clock.css';
