JOT-DATEPICKER by Jack of Traits
Youtube | Github The jot-datepicker is a react js datepicker component that lets you customize the look of your calendar.
Reasons to use jot-datepicker
- Easy to use.
- No-brainer configurations are easily passed through the props.
Installation
The jot-datepicker requires Node.js v10+ and moment-js.
$ cd react-js-app
$ npm install jot-datepicker momentBasic Usage
import Datepicker from "jot-datepicker";
import moment from "moment";
export defaults function App() {
return (
<Datepicker
showCalendar={true}
value={new Date()}
width="400px" // Just css width i.e. 300px, 50%
dateFormat="MMMM DD, Y" // Any moment-js format
closeTimeOut={200} // Closes the calendar after 200ms
onDatechange={(value) => {
// value returns native javascript date object
console.log(moment(value).format("YYYY-MM-DD"));
}}
/>
);
}Adding custom styles to Weekdays
In this example, I am using Tailwind CSS. However you can use any CSS frameworks that you are comfortable with.
import Datepicker from "jot-datepicker";
import moment from "moment";
export defaults function App() {
return (
<Datepicker
showCalendar={true}
value={new Date()}
width="400px" // Just css width i.e. 300px, 50%
dateFormat="MMMM DD, Y" // any moment-js format
closeTimeOut={200}
weekDays={
<div>
<div className="font-semibold">Sun</div>
<div className="font-semibold">Mon</div>
<div className="font-semibold">Tue</div>
<div className="font-semibold">Wed</div>
<div className="font-semibold">Thur</div>
<div className="font-semibold">Fri</div>
<div className="font-semibold">Sat</div>
<div/>
}
onDatechange={(value) => {
// value returns native javascript date object
console.log(moment(value).format("YYYY-MM-DD"));
}}
/>
);
}Overriding previous and next month buttons
import Datepicker from "jot-datepicker";
import moment from "moment";
export defaults function App() {
return (
<Datepicker
showCalendar={true}
value={new Date()}
width="400px" // Just css width i.e. 300px, 50%
dateFormat="MMMM DD, Y" // any moment-js format
closeTimeOut={200}
customPreviousMonthButton={(previousMonthAction) => {
return (
<button
className="text-sm cursor-pointer"
onClick={previousMonthAction}
>
←
</button>
);
}}
customNextMonthButton={(nextMonthAction) => {
return (
<button
className="text-sm cursor-pointer"
onClick={nextMonthAction}
>
→
</button>
);
}}
onDatechange={(value) => {
// value returns native javascript date object
console.log(moment(value).format("YYYY-MM-DD"));
}}
/>
);
}Overriding the appearance of your calendar
The "view" props accepts two objects, the container and element.
The container has ** [calendar, closeButton, inputField] ** properties.
The element has ** [calendarTitle, inputField, dateBox, dateBoxSelected] ** properties.
The container and element are just CSS properties. You can try experimenting the appearance by changing the CSS properties.
import Datepicker from "jot-datepicker"; import moment from "moment"; export defaults function App() { return ( <Datepicker showCalendar={true} value={new Date()} width="400px" // Just css width i.e. 300px, 50% dateFormat="MMMM DD, Y" // any moment-js format closeTimeOut={200} view={{ container: { calendar: { border: "2px solid #4481cc", }, closeButton: { border: "1px solid green", backgroundColor: "#4481cc", color: "yellow", }, inputField: { border: "2px dashed #4481cc", }, }, element: { calendarTitle: { backgroundColor: "#4481cc", color: "#fff", }, inputField: { padding: "4px", border: "1px solid black", }, dateBox: { backgroundColor: "#e6dcff", }, dateBoxSelected: { backgroundColor: "#15C39A", border: "1px solid green", color: "#fff", }, }, }} onDatechange={(value) => { // value returns native javascript date object console.log(moment(value).format("YYYY-MM-DD")); }} /> );}
