This project is a fork of react-datetimepicker with significant alterations including:

Complete revamp of CSS styles utilizing TailwindCSS.
Transition to Vitejs for the build system.
Conversion of all files to TypeScript for improved type safety and development efficiency.

Installation

// Npm
npm i react-tailwindcss-datetimepicker

// Yarn
yarn add react-tailwindcss-datetimepicker

With TailwindCSS

If you're already including TailwindCSS in your project, just open up your tailwind.config.js file and add the following line to your content array so that tailwind could find CSS classes used in picker and add those to your project's global css file:

// tailwind.config.js

module.exports = {
  content: [
    './src/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}',
    './node_modules/react-tailwindcss-datetimepicker/dist/react-tailwindcss-datetimepicker.js',
    // Add this line 👆
  ],
};

Without TailwindCSS

If you don't use TailwindCSS in your project you can simply import the shipped standalone CSS file needed for this component like so:

// src/main.tsx

import DateTimePicker from 'react-tailwindcss-datetimepicker';
import 'react-tailwindcss-datetimepicker/style.css';

Basic Usage

Function Components

import { useState } from "react";
import DateTimePicker from "react-tailwindcss-datetimepicker";

// If you are already using TailwindCSS, you can omit this.
// Check out section "Installing With TailwindCSS" in docs.
import "react-tailwindcss-datetimepicker/style.css";

const now = new Date();
const startOfToday = new Date();
startOfToday.setHours(0, 0, 0, 0);

const endOfToday = new Date(startOfToday);
endOfToday.setDate(endOfToday.getDate() + 1);
endOfToday.setSeconds(endOfToday.getSeconds() - 1);

function App() {
  // Set the initial view of picker to last 2 days
  const [selectedRange, setSelectedRange] = useState({
    start: new Date(new Date().setDate(new Date().getDate() - 2)),
    end: endOfToday,
  });

  function handleApply(startDate: Date, endDate: Date) {
    setSelectedRange({ start: startDate, end: endDate });
  }

  return (
    <DateTimePicker
      ranges={{
        Today: [new Date(startOfToday), new Date(endOfToday)],
        "Last 30 Days": [
          new Date(
            now.getFullYear(),
            now.getMonth() - 1,
            now.getDate(),
            0,
            0,
            0,
            0
          ),
          new Date(endOfToday),
        ],
      }}
      start={selectedRange.start}
      end={selectedRange.end}
      applyCallback={handleApply}
    >
      <button type="button">{`${selectedRange.start} - ${selectedRange.end}`}</button>
    </DateTimePicker>
  );
}

export default App;

Legacy Class Components

For using it in a legacy class component check out the sample code here

import React from 'react';
import DateTimePicker from 'react-tailwindcss-datetimepicker';

// If you are already using TailwindCSS, you can omit this.
// Check out section "Installing With TailwindCSS" in docs.
import 'react-tailwindcss-datetimepicker/style.css';

interface Props {}
interface State {
  start: Date;
  end: Date;
}

const now = new Date();
const startOfToday = new Date(now.getFullYear(), now.getMonth(), now.getDate(), 0, 0, 0, 0);

const endOfToday = new Date(startOfToday);
endOfToday.setDate(endOfToday.getDate() + 1);
endOfToday.setSeconds(endOfToday.getSeconds() - 1);

class App extends React.Component<Props, State> {
  constructor(props: Props) {
    super(props);

    // Set the initial view of picker to last 2 days
    this.state = {
      start: new Date(new Date().setDate(new Date().getDate() - 2)),
      end: endOfToday,
    };
  }

  applyCallback = (startDate: Date, endDate: Date) => {
    this.setState({
      start: startDate,
      end: endDate,
    });
  };

  render() {
    return (

`ranges`

(Required) Record<string, [Date, Date]>

A record of ranges defined using a tuple of Date instances.

Using vanilla Javascript:

const startOfToday = new Date(new Date().setHours(0, 0, 0, 0));
startOfToday.setHours(0, 0, 0, 0);

const endOfToday = new Date(startOfToday);
endOfToday.setDate(endOfToday.getDate() + 1);
endOfToday.setSeconds(endOfToday.getSeconds() - 1);

const ranges = {
  Today: [startOfToday, startOfToday],
  // 'Last 30 Days': [..., ...],
};

Or using date-fns lib:

import { add, sub, startOfDay } from 'date-fns';

const now = new Date();
const startOfToday = startOfDay(now);
const endOfToday = add(sub(startOfToday, { seconds: 1 }), { days: 1 });

const ranges = {
  Today: [startOfDay(startOfToday), endOfToday],
  'Last 30 Days': [startOfDay(sub(startOfToday, { days: 30 })), endOfToday],
};

`start`

(Required) Date

Initial start Date set in the picker

`end`

(Required) Date

Initial end Date set in the picker

`applyCallback`

(Required) (start: Date, end: Date) => void

Function which is called when the apply button is clicked/pressed. Takes two params, start date and the end date.

`locale`

(optional)

Locale for translatable labels. Can also set Sunday to be first day or Monday.

Example:

const locale = {
  format: 'dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm', // See: https://date-fns.org/v2.16.1/docs/format
  sundayFirst: false,
  days: ['Mo', 'Tu', 'We', 'Th', 'Fr', 'Sa', 'So'],
  months: [
    'January',
    'February',
    'March',
    'April',
    'May',
    'June',
    'July',
    'August',
    'September',
    'October',
    'November',
    'December',
  ],
  fromDate: 'From Date',
  toDate: 'To Date',
  selectingFrom: 'Selecting From',
  selectingTo: 'Selecting To',
  minDate: 'Min Date',
  maxDate: 'Max Date',
  close: 'Close',
  apply: 'Apply',
  cancel: 'Cancel',
};

`rangeCallback`

(optional) (index: number, value: keyof PresetDateRanges) => void

Function which is called when one of the preset ranges is clicked/selected. Takes two params:

index is the index of item which is selected
value is the label of that item

`minDate`

(optional) Date

Minimum date that can be selected in calendar.

`maxDate`

(optional) Date

Maximum date that can be selected in calendar.

`autoApply`

(optional)** boolean defaults to false

When set there will only be one button in the bottom right to close the screen. With this set to true upon changing anything in picker the callbackfunction will be automatically called

`descendingYears`

(optional) boolean defaults to false

To set years be displayed in descending order in picker instead of ascending.

`years`

(optional) [number, number] defaults to [1900, new Date().getFullYear()]

Takes a tuple where the first value is the start year and the second values is the end year users can pick from.

Example:

years={[2000, 2025]}

`smartMode`

(optional) boolean defaults to false

The date time picker will switch the month on the right hand side (RHS) when two dates in the same month are selected. Can be used in conjunction with pastSearchFriendly to switch the month on the left hand side (LHS) when the two dates are from the same month.

`pastSearchFriendly`

(optional) boolean

Note: Requires smartMode to be enabled.

Changes the mode of the date time picker to be optimised for past searches. Where possible, the start and end time will be shown on the RHS when the month and year are equal. This allows for the previous month to be shown on the LHS to allow easier backwards searching.

This setting is false by default meaning that the LHS is used when dates are selected in the same month & year

`noMobileMode`

(optional) boolean defaults to false

When set the mobile breakpoint to be ignored. Picker will always be displayed in full screen mode.

`forceMobileMode`

(optional) boolean defaults to false

When set the mobile breakpoint to be ignored. Picker will always be displayed in condensed mode all the time.

`twelveHoursClock`

(optional) boolean defaults to false

When enabled, the picker will display time values in a 12-hour format rather than a 24-hour format.

`standalone`

(optional) boolean defaults to false

When set the picker will be open by default.

`leftMode`

(optional) boolean defaults to true

When set and changed the picker will open to the left (right to left) instead of the default which is to open to the right (left to right)

`centerMode`

(optional) boolean defaults to false

To allow flexibility, center mode has been added where leftMode or default is not enough.

`displayMinDate`

(optional) boolean defaults to false

To allow flexibility, center mode has been added where leftMode or default is not enough.

`displayMaxDate`

(optional) boolean defaults to false

To allow flexibility, center mode has been added where leftMode or default is not enough.

`classNames`

(optional) object

Will add extra classNames to different parts of the picker. It's great for for tailoring the component to match your preferred look and feel. The object has the following keys:

rootContainer
rangesContainer
rangeButtonDefault
rangeButtonSelected
fromToRangeContainer
normalCell
normalCellHove
greyCel
invalidCel
startCel
endCel
withinRangeCel
startDot
endDot
footerContainer
applyButton
cancelButton

By providing CSS className(s) for these keys, you can customize/override them.

Note: If you're already using TailwindCSS in your project, you can use the ! operand for overriding an already exisiting className. (Just like !important in regular CSS) For example:

classNames={{
  rootContainer: '!bg-red-700'
}}

The following illustration shows the different components of the picker which can be customized:

`theme`

There are 4 color themes available to choose from. (More to come later)

blue (Default)
orange
green
purple

Development

Runs the app in the development mode.

npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.

Hot module reloading is enabled in dev mode.

Production

npm run build

Builds the app for production to the /dist folder using vite's library mode. Type declarations (index.d.ts) are also created in the same directory.

Migration

from `2.x.x to` to `3.x.x`:

Moment has been removed from the dependencies. Now you can use any date library (or even vanilla js) to construct your date objects. See ranges.

From `1.x.x to` to `2.x.x`:

local prop has been renamed to locale and it's now an optional prop.
style prop has been removed in favor of classNames.
darkMode prop has been removed. All UI elements of the picker now have dark styles defined for them. If you add className=dark to your <body> tag (or any other parent element of it), dark mode will be automatically turned on.

Roadmap

Support TypeScript
Ability to add custom CSS classes for different parts of the component
Migrate to date-fns
Adding predefined themes
More demos showcasing different props
Write tests
