DayPicker is a React component for creating date pickers, calendars, and date inputs for web applications.
You are reading the README for react-day-picker, the legacy DayPicker package name. It remains available for compatibility and exposes the same DayPicker API in v10, but new projects should use @daypicker/react.
See daypicker.dev for guides, examples, and API reference, or read the v10 docs in the repository.
@daypicker/* add-on packages.DayPicker is written in TypeScript and compiled to CommonJS and ESM. It relies on date-fns for date manipulation and formatting.
Install the legacy DayPicker package name:
npm install react-day-picker
For new projects, prefer the @daypicker/react package name:
npm install @daypicker/react
import { useState } from "react";
import { DayPicker } from "react-day-picker";
import "react-day-picker/style.css";
function MyDatePicker() {
const [selected, setSelected] = useState<Date>();
return (
<DayPicker
mode="single"
selected={selected}
onSelect={setSelected}
footer={
selected ? `Selected: ${selected.toLocaleDateString()}` : "Pick a day."
}
/>
);
}
DayPicker is compatible with React 16.8 and later.
