AppReactDatepicker
This guide covers how to use react-datepicker
, a flexible and customizable date-picker library, in conjunction with Material-UI's styling in a Next.js application. For more information on React-Datepicker, see the official documentation.
Overview
React-Datepicker is a versatile and highly configurable date-picker library for React. It provides a range of options and styles to create a date-picker that suits various UI requirements. To align it with Material-UI themes, we have wrapped it in a custom component.
Styling React-Datepicker
We have styled React-Datepicker using Material-UI's capabilities. The AppReactDatepicker
component is a styled Material-UI Box
that contains the React-Datepicker, applying specific styles to integrate it seamlessly into Material-UI themed interfaces.
Styled Component: AppReactDatepicker
AppReactDatepicker
wraps the React-Datepicker component, providing a consistent look with the Material-UI theme. This styling covers various elements of the date-picker, including the header, navigation, and days grid.
Example: Defining AppReactDatepicker
// React Imports
import type { ComponentProps } from 'react'
// MUI Imports
import Box from '@mui/material/Box'
import { styled } from '@mui/material/styles'
// Third-Party Imports
import ReactDatePickerComponent from 'react-datepicker'
// Styles
import 'react-datepicker/dist/react-datepicker.css'
type Props = ComponentProps<typeof ReactDatePickerComponent> & {
boxProps?: BoxProps
}
// Styled Components
const StyledReactDatePicker = styled(Box)<BoxProps>(({ theme }) => ({
// Custom styles for React-Datepicker...
})) as typeof Box
// Component to render the date-picker
const AppReactDatepicker = (props: Props) => {
const { boxProps, ...rest } = props
return (
<StyledReactDatePicker {...boxProps}>
<ReactDatePickerComponent {...rest} />
</StyledReactDatePicker>
)
}
export default AppReactDatepicker
This code sets up AppReactDatepicker
to provide a Material-UI themed appearance to React-Datepicker.
Implementing the Styled React-Datepicker
Using AppReactDatepicker
, integrating a styled date-picker into your application is straightforward.
Example: Basic Date Picker Implementation
// React Imports
import { useState } from 'react'
// MUI Imports
import TextField from '@mui/material/TextField'
// Third-Party Imports
import AppReactDatepicker from '@/libs/styles/AppReactDatepicker'
const PickersBasic = () => {
const [date, setDate] = useState<Date | null>(new Date())
return (
<AppReactDatepicker
selected={date}
onChange={(date: Date | null) => setDate(date)}
placeholderText='Click to select a date'
customInput={<TextField label='Basic' />}
/>
)
}
export default PickersBasic
In this example, PickersBasic
is a functional component that uses AppReactDatepicker
to render a date-picker. It showcases how to use custom inputs and handle date changes.
