Implementation

import React, {useState} from 'react';
import SingleCalendar from 'react-single-calendar';


const App = () => {
    let [date, filterDate] = useState('');
    return (
        ....
        <SingleCalendar selectedDate={filterDate} />
    )
}
export default App;

In this date useState you will get the selectedDate, selectedDate is the props for SingleCalendar component. It will return this filterDate method, you can use your own method.

react-single-calendar returns a string value like March 21, 2019, if no formate has been provied. You can use Date.parse() method to convert it as a date.

react-single-calendar can be used with input field on, or off. If dateInput property is true, it will work as a form input field. If value is false you can open or close this component on a freedom of your own button click function

Getting Date Range

For getting date range, add a on for < SingleCalendar />, named as range={true}, by default range is false.

When using range, this filterDate method returns an array of to strings

Stateless or Functional Component

import React, {useState} from 'react';
import SingleCalendar from 'react-single-calendar';


const App = () => {
    let [date, filterDate] = useState('');
    return (
        ....
        <SingleCalendar selectedDate={filterDate} range={true} />
    )
}
export default App;

Class Component

import React from 'react';
import SingleCalendar from 'react-single-calendar';
class App extends React.Component {
  // let [nodes, setNodes] = useState(null);
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      date: '21-09-2020',
      currentDate: "October 13, 2021"
    }
  }

  filterDate(date) {
    this.setState({
      date: date
    })
  }
  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <SingleCalendar selectedDate={(date) => this.filterDate(date)} dateInput={true} />
      </div>
    )
  }
}

export default App;

In this example it the date variable will return:

Example: ['March 21, 2019', 'August 10, 2019']

Again you can use Date.parse() method, to gate a date value, or you can use this strings in your way.

Disable Future Dates

react-single-calendar has a feature to disable upcoming dates. For that you need to add upcoming as a prop and set the value to false. By default it is set to true.

<SingleCalendar selectedDate={filterDate} upcoming={false}/> 

You can use this feature with date range also, see the below code:

<SingleCalendar selectedDate={filterDate} range={true} upcoming={false}/>
