• .date-picker: Wrapper for the date picker component.
• .date-picker-label: Styles for the label above the date picker input.
• .date-picker-input: Styles for the date input field.

Customizing Styles

To customize the appearance of the date picker, override the CSS classes in your project’s CSS files.

Example:

/* Custom styles for DatePicker */
.date-picker {
  max-width: 300px;
  margin-bottom: 1rem;
}

To copy CSS files to the build directory dist after compiling TypeScript, install the cpx package:

npm npm install cpx --save-dev

For your scripts configuration in package.json, particularly for Windows users, you may need to modify the build script slightly. The current configuration is:

"scripts": {
    "build": "tsc && cpx \"src/DatePicker.css\" dist"
}
