Variants

Label Placements

You can change the position of the label by setting the labelPlacement property to inside, outside or outside-left.

Note: If the label is not passed, the labelPlacement property will be outside by default.

Start & End Content

You can use the startContent and endContent properties to add content to the start and end of the DateInput.

With Description

You can add a description to the input by passing the description property.

With Error Message

You can combine the isInvalid and errorMessage properties to show an invalid input.

Controlled

You can use the value and onChange properties to control the input value.

Time Zones

DateInput is time zone aware when a ZonedDateTime object is provided as the value. In this case, the time zone abbreviation is displayed, and time zone concerns such as daylight saving time are taken into account when the value is manipulated.

@internationalized/date includes functions for parsing strings in multiple formats into ZonedDateTime objects.

npm install @internationalized/date
No need to install this package if @nextui-org/react is already installed globally.
import {parseZonedDateTime} from "@internationalized/date";

Granularity

The granularity prop allows you to control the smallest unit that is displayed by DateInput By default, the value is displayed with "day" granularity (year, month, and day), and CalendarDateTime and ZonedDateTime values are displayed with "minute" granularity.

npm install @internationalized/date @react-aria/i18n
No need to install this package if @nextui-org/react is already installed globally.
import {DateValue, now, parseAbsoluteToLocal} from "@internationalized/date";
import {useDateFormatter} from "@react-aria/i18n";

Min Date And Max Date

The minValue and maxValue props can also be used to ensure the value is within a specific range.

@internationalized/date includes functions for parsing strings in multiple formats into ZonedDateTime objects.

npm install @internationalized/date

import {getLocalTimeZone, parseDate, today} from "@internationalized/date";

International Calendar

DateInput supports selecting dates in many calendar systems used around the world, including Gregorian, Hebrew, Indian, Islamic, Buddhist, and more. Dates are automatically displayed in the appropriate calendar system for the user's locale. The calendar system can be overridden using the Unicode calendar locale extension, passed to the I18nProvider component.

import {DateValue, now, parseAbsoluteToLocal} from "@internationalized/date";
import {I18nProvider} from "@react-aria/i18n";

Hide Time Zone

When a ZonedDateTime object is provided as the value to DateInput, the time zone abbreviation is displayed by default. However, if this is displayed elsewhere or implicit based on the usecase, it can be hidden using the hideTimeZone option.

@internationalized/date includes functions for parsing strings in multiple formats into ZonedDateTime objects.

npm install @internationalized/date

import {parseZonedDateTime} from "@internationalized/date";

Hourly Cycle

By default, DateInput displays times in either 12 or 24 hour hour format depending on the user's locale. However, this can be overridden using the hourCycle prop if needed for a specific usecase. This example forces DateInput to use 24-hour time, regardless of the locale.

Slots

  • base: Input wrapper, it handles alignment, placement, and general appearance.
  • label: Label of the date-input, it is the one that is displayed above, inside or left of the date-input.
  • inputWrapper: Wraps the label (when it is inside) and the innerWrapper.
  • input: The date-input element.
  • innerWrapper: Wraps the input, the startContent and the endContent.
  • clearButton: The clear button, it is at the end of the input.
  • helperWrapper: Wraps the description and the errorMessage.
  • description: The description of the date-input.
  • errorMessage: The error message of the date-input.

Data Attributes

DateInput has the following attributes on the base element:

  • data-slot: All slots have this prop. which slot the element represents(e.g. slot).
  • data-invalid: When the date-input is invalid. Based on isInvalid prop.
  • data-required: When the date-input is required. Based on isRequired prop.
  • data-readonly: When the date-input is readonly. Based on isReadOnly prop.
  • data-disabled: When the date-input is disabled. Based on isDisabled prop.
  • data-has-helper: When the date-input has helper text(errorMessage or description). Base on those two props.
  • data-has-start-content: When the date-input has a start content. Base on those startContent prop.
  • data-has-end-content: When the date-input has a end content. Base on those endContent prop.

Accessibility

  • Built with a native <input> element.
  • Visual and ARIA labeling support.
  • Change, clipboard, composition, selection, and input event support.
  • Required and invalid states exposed to assistive technology via ARIA.
  • Support for description and error message help text linked to the input via ARIA.
  • Each date and time unit is displayed as an individually focusable and editable segment, which allows users an easy way to edit dates using the keyboard, in any date format and locale.
  • Date segments are editable using an easy to use numeric keypad, and all interactions are accessible using touch-based screen readers.
