import React, { useState } from "react";
import EtDatePicker from "mui-ethiopian-datepicker";

function MyComponent() {
  const [date, setDate] = useState(null);

  return (
    <EtDatePicker
      label="Document Date"
      onChange={(selectedDate: Date) => {
        setDate(selectedDate);
      }}
      value={date}
      minDate={new Date("2023-08-20")}

    />

Localization Support in Version 0.1.7

Starting from version 0.1.7, mui-ethiopian-datepicker introduces localization support for different Ethiopian localizations. This feature allows a more tailored experience for users.

1. First, you need to import the EtLocalizationProvider from the mui-ethiopian-datepicker package.

import { EtLocalizationProvider } from 'mui-ethiopian-datepicker';

2. Wrap Your Application or Component:

Use the EtLocalizationProvider to wrap your entire application or just the section where the date picker is used. This will ensure that all date pickers within this context are localized.

function MyApp({ children }) {
  return (
    <EtLocalizationProvider localType="AMH">
      {children}
    </EtLocalizationProvider>
  );
}

3. Configure the Localization Provider:

The EtLocalizationProvider accepts the following props to configure the localization:

localType: This can be set to "AMH" (Amharic), "AO" (Afan Oromo), or "CUSTOM". It defines the type of localization you want to apply. "AMH" and "AO" are predefined localizations, while "CUSTOM" allows for more personalized configurations.

getLocalMonthName: This optional function is used only when localType is set to "CUSTOM". It allows you to provide a custom function to return the name of the month based on the month number.

function MyApp() {
  const getCustomMonthName = (month: number) => {
    // Define custom month names
    const customMonthNames = ["Custom Month 1", "Custom Month 2", ...];
    return customMonthNames[month - 1];
  };

  return (
    <EtLocalizationProvider localType="CUSTOM" getLocalMonthName={getCustomMonthName}>
      {children}
    </EtLocalizationProvider>
  );
}

Using EtDateViewer

import { EtDateViewer } from "mui-ethiopian-datepicker";

<EtDateViewer date={new Date()}  sx={{ color: "red" }} variant="h6" />
