React Datepicker - Flowbite

The Datepicker component from Flowbite React is an advanced UI element that you can use to allow users to pick a date from a calendar view by selecting the day, month, and year values which then will be available in the input field and state of the component.

Follow the examples below to see how you can use the Datepicker component by importing it from the Flowbite React library, customize the colors and behaviour of the component by overriding the default theme variables and using the props from React.

Import the component from flowbite-react to use the datepicker element:

import { Datepicker } from 'flowbite-react';

Default Datepicker#

Use this example to show a simple datepicker component.

'use client';

import { Datepicker } from 'flowbite-react';

function Component() {
  return <Datepicker />;
}

Localization#

Use the language prop to set the language of the datepicker component.

The labelTodayButton and labelClearButton can also be used to update the text of the buttons.

'use client';

import { Datepicker } from 'flowbite-react';

function Component() {
  return <Datepicker language="pt-BR" labelTodayButton="Hoje" labelClearButton="Limpar" />;
}

Limit the date#

By using the minDate and maxDate props you can limit the date range that the user can select.

'use client';

import { Datepicker } from 'flowbite-react';

function Component() {
  return <Datepicker minDate={new Date(2023, 0, 1)} maxDate={new Date(2023, 3, 30)} />;
}

Week start#

The weekStart prop can be used to set the first day of the week inside the datepicker component.

{
  "0": "Sunday",
  "1": "Monday",
  "2": "Tuesday",
  "3": "Wednesday",
  "4": "Thursday",
  "5": "Friday",
  "6": "Saturday"
}

'use client';

import { Datepicker } from 'flowbite-react';

function Component() {
  return (
    <Datepicker
      weekStart={1} // Monday
    />
  );
}

Autohide#

By setting the autoHide prop you can either enable or disable automatically hiding the datepicker component when selecting a value.

'use client';

import { Datepicker } from 'flowbite-react';

function Component() {
  return <Datepicker autoHide={false} />;
}

Title#

You can use the title prop to set a title for the datepicker component.

'use client';

import { Datepicker } from 'flowbite-react';

function Component() {
  return <Datepicker title="Flowbite Datepicker" />
}

Inline#

Use the inline prop to show the datepicker component without having to click inside an input field.

'use client';

import { Datepicker } from 'flowbite-react';

function Component() {
  return <Datepicker inline />;
}
