Anatomy

DatePicker follows a composition-first API. Compose DateField and Calendar explicitly to control structure and styling.

import {Calendar, DateField, DatePicker, Label} from '@heroui/react';

export default () => (
  <DatePicker>
    <Label />
    <DateField.Group>
      <DateField.Input>
        {(segment) => <DateField.Segment segment={segment} />}
      </DateField.Input>
      <DateField.Suffix>
        <DatePicker.Trigger>
          <DatePicker.TriggerIndicator />
        </DatePicker.Trigger>
      </DateField.Suffix>
    </DateField.Group>
    <DatePicker.Popover>
      <Calendar aria-label="Choose date">
        <Calendar.Header>
          <Calendar.YearPickerTrigger>
            <Calendar.YearPickerTriggerHeading />
            <Calendar.YearPickerTriggerIndicator />
          </Calendar.YearPickerTrigger>
          <Calendar.NavButton slot="previous" />
          <Calendar.NavButton slot="next" />
        </Calendar.Header>
        <Calendar.Grid>
          <Calendar.GridHeader>
            {(day) => <Calendar.HeaderCell>{day}</Calendar.HeaderCell>}
          </Calendar.GridHeader>
          <Calendar.GridBody>{(date) => <Calendar.Cell date={date} />}</Calendar.GridBody>
        </Calendar.Grid>
      </Calendar>
    </DatePicker.Popover>
  </DatePicker>
)

This date picker is disabled.

"use client";

import {Calendar, DateField, DatePicker, Description, Label} from "@heroui/react";
import {getLocalTimeZone, today} from "@internationalized/date";

Custom Indicator

DatePicker.TriggerIndicator renders the default IconCalendar when no children are provided. Pass children to replace it.

Date

mmddyyyy

Replace the default calendar icon by passing custom children.

"use client";

import {Calendar, DateField, DatePicker, Description, Label} from "@heroui/react";
import {Icon} from "@iconify/react";

Form Example

"use client";

import type {DateValue} from "@internationalized/date";

import {

By default, DatePicker displays dates using the calendar system for the user's locale. You can override this by wrapping your DatePicker with I18nProvider and setting the Unicode calendar locale extension.

The example below shows the Indian calendar system:

Event date

27111947शक

"use client";

import {Calendar, DateField, DatePicker, Label} from "@heroui/react";
import {getLocalTimeZone, today} from "@internationalized/date";
import {I18nProvider} from "react-aria-components";

Note: The onChange event always returns a date in the same calendar system as the value or defaultValue (Gregorian if no value is provided), regardless of the displayed locale. This ensures your application logic works consistently with a single calendar system while still displaying dates in the user's preferred format.

Styling

Passing Tailwind CSS classes

You can style each composition part independently:

import {Calendar, DateField, DatePicker, Label} from '@heroui/react';

function CustomDatePicker() {
  return (
    <DatePicker className="w-[320px] gap-2">
      <Label className="text-sm font-semibold">Date</Label>
      <DateField.Group className="rounded-xl border border-border/60 bg-surface" fullWidth variant="secondary">
        <DateField.Input>
          {(segment) => <DateField.Segment segment={segment} />}
        </DateField.Input>
        <DateField.Suffix>
          <DatePicker.Trigger className="w-full">
            <DatePicker.TriggerIndicator className="text-default-600" />
          </DatePicker.Trigger>
        </DateField.Suffix>
      </DateField.Group>
      <DatePicker.Popover className="rounded-xl p-2">
        <Calendar aria-label="Custom date picker calendar">
          {/* Calendar parts */}
        </Calendar>
      </DatePicker.Popover>
    </DatePicker>
  );
}

Customizing the component classes

To customize DatePicker base classes, use @layer components.

@layer components {
  .date-picker {
    @apply inline-flex flex-col gap-1;
  }

  .date-picker__trigger {
    @apply inline-flex items-center justify-between;
  }

  .date-picker__trigger-indicator {
    @apply text-muted;
  }

  .date-picker__popover {
    @apply min-w-[var(--trigger-width)] p-0;
  }
}

HeroUI follows BEM naming for reusable customization.

CSS Classes

DatePicker uses these classes in packages/styles/components/date-picker.css:

.date-picker - Root wrapper.
.date-picker__trigger - Trigger part that opens the popover.
.date-picker__trigger-indicator - Default/custom indicator slot.
.date-picker__popover - Popover content wrapper.

Interactive States

DatePicker supports React Aria data attributes and pseudo states:

Open: [data-open="true"] on trigger.
Disabled: [data-disabled="true"] or [aria-disabled="true"] on trigger.
Focus visible: :focus-visible or [data-focus-visible="true"] on trigger.
Hover: :hover or [data-hovered="true"] on trigger.
