Calendar

Import

import { Calendar } from '@darkcode-ui/react';

Usage

import {Calendar} from "@darkcode-ui/react";

export function Basic() {

Anatomy

import {Calendar} from '@darkcode-ui/react';

export default () => (
  <Calendar aria-label="Event date">
    <Calendar.Header>
      <Calendar.Heading />
      <Calendar.NavButton slot="previous" />
      <Calendar.NavButton slot="next" />
    </Calendar.Header>
    <Calendar.Grid>
      <Calendar.GridHeader>
        {(day) => <Calendar.HeaderCell>{day}</Calendar.HeaderCell>}
      </Calendar.GridHeader>
      <Calendar.GridBody>
        {(date) => <Calendar.Cell date={date} />}
      </Calendar.GridBody>
    </Calendar.Grid>
  </Calendar>
)

Year Picker

Calendar.YearPickerTrigger, Calendar.YearPickerGrid, and their body/cell subcomponents provide an integrated year navigation pattern.

"use client";

import {Calendar} from "@darkcode-ui/react";

export function YearPicker() {

Default Value

"use client";

import {Calendar} from "@darkcode-ui/react";
import {parseDate} from "@internationalized/date";

Controlled

Use controlled value and focusedValue for external state coordination and custom shortcuts.

"use client";

import type {DateValue} from "@internationalized/date";

import {Button, ButtonGroup, Calendar, Description} from "@darkcode-ui/react";

Multiple Selection

Set selectionMode="multiple" to let users select several dates at once. In this mode value, defaultValue, and onChange work with an array of dates (DateValue[]) instead of a single date.

"use client";

import type {DateValue} from "@internationalized/date";

import {Calendar, Description} from "@darkcode-ui/react";

Min and Max Dates

"use client";

import {Calendar, Description} from "@darkcode-ui/react";
import {getLocalTimeZone, today} from "@internationalized/date";

Unavailable Dates

Use isDateUnavailable to block dates such as weekends, holidays, or booked slots.

"use client";

import type {DateValue} from "@internationalized/date";

import {Calendar, Description} from "@darkcode-ui/react";

Disabled

"use client";

import {Calendar, Description} from "@darkcode-ui/react";
import {getLocalTimeZone, today} from "@internationalized/date";

Read Only

"use client";

import {Calendar, Description} from "@darkcode-ui/react";
import {getLocalTimeZone, today} from "@internationalized/date";

Focused Value

Programmatically control which date is focused using focusedValue and onFocusChange.

"use client";

import type {DateValue} from "@internationalized/date";

import {Button, Calendar, Description} from "@darkcode-ui/react";

Cell Indicators

You can customize Calendar.Cell children and use Calendar.CellIndicator to display metadata like events.

"use client";

import {Calendar} from "@darkcode-ui/react";
import {getLocalTimeZone, isToday} from "@internationalized/date";

Multiple Months

Render multiple grids with visibleDuration and offset for booking and planning experiences.

"use client";

import {Calendar} from "@darkcode-ui/react";
import {getLocalTimeZone} from "@internationalized/date";
import React from "react";

Week View

Show a fixed number of weeks by passing visibleDuration={{weeks: n}}. The grid keeps its seven columns and renders the requested number of rows.

"use client";

import {Calendar} from "@darkcode-ui/react";

export function WeekView() {

Day View

Show a horizontal strip of days by passing visibleDuration={{days: n}}. The column count follows the visible day span (capped at seven so week-or-longer ranges stay week-aligned).

"use client";

import {Calendar} from "@darkcode-ui/react";

export function DayView() {

International Calendars

By default, Calendar displays dates using the calendar system for the user's locale. You can override this by wrapping your Calendar with I18nProvider and setting the Unicode calendar locale extension.

The example below shows the Indian calendar system:

"use client";

import {Calendar} from "@darkcode-ui/react";
import {getLocalTimeZone, today} from "@internationalized/date";
import {I18nProvider} from "react-aria-components";

Note: The onChange event always returns a date in the same calendar system as the value or defaultValue (Gregorian if no value is provided), regardless of the displayed locale. This ensures your application logic works consistently with a single calendar system while still displaying dates in the user's preferred format.

Custom Navigation Icons

Pass children to Calendar.NavButton to replace the default chevron icons.

"use client";

import {Calendar} from "@darkcode-ui/react";

export function CustomIcons() {

Real-World Example

"use client";

import type {DateValue} from "@internationalized/date";

import {Button, Calendar} from "@darkcode-ui/react";

Custom Styles

"use client";

import {Calendar} from "@darkcode-ui/react";

export function CustomStyles() {

Styling

Passing Tailwind CSS classes

import {Calendar} from '@darkcode-ui/react';

function CustomCalendar() {
  return (
    <Calendar aria-label="Custom calendar" className="w-72 rounded-2xl border border-border bg-surface p-3 shadow-sm">
      <Calendar.Header className="pb-3">
        <Calendar.Heading className="text-default" />
        <Calendar.NavButton slot="previous" className="text-default" />
        <Calendar.NavButton slot="next" className="text-default" />
      </Calendar.Header>
      <Calendar.Grid>
        <Calendar.GridHeader>
          {(day) => <Calendar.HeaderCell>{day}</Calendar.HeaderCell>}
        </Calendar.GridHeader>
        <Calendar.GridBody>
          {(date) => <Calendar.Cell date={date} />}
        </Calendar.GridBody>
      </Calendar.Grid>
    </Calendar>
  );
}

Customizing the component classes

@layer components {
  .calendar {
    @apply w-72 rounded-2xl border border-border bg-surface p-3 shadow-sm;
  }

  .calendar__heading {
    @apply text-sm font-semibold text-default-700;
  }

  .calendar__cell[data-selected="true"] {
    @apply bg-accent text-accent-foreground;
  }
}
