Date input and calendar popover composition.

A live, theme-aware example rendered with the published component.

Import

Import from the focused entry point below, or use the same named export from @tavojs/ui. Both are public APIs; measure the built application when comparing their bundle cost.

TSX

tsximport { DatePicker } from "@tavojs/ui/date-picker";

The component import loads compiled component CSS. Enable tavoUi() for your project theme variables, or import @tavojs/ui/theme.css once for the package default theme. The equivalent CSS-safe component alias is @tavojs/ui/css/date-picker.

When to use

Use it when

Use `DatePicker` for date input with a calendar popover. For a plain native date field, use `TextInput type="date"`

Choose something else when

Avoid DatePicker when wrapping controls without labels or accessible names.

Examples

These examples include imports and local state where interaction requires it. Render the exported component in a page after completing UI installation. Demo state stays in the mounted component; connect file handling, persistence, and data loading to your application as needed.

DatePicker example

TSXCreate: src/components/examples/DatePickerExample1.tsx

tsximport { createTavo } from "@tavojs/core";
import { DatePicker } from "@tavojs/ui/date-picker";
import { Text, Button } from "@tavojs/ui";

type State = { date: string; open: boolean };

export const DatePickerExample1 = createTavo<Record<string, never>, State>({
  model: () => ({ date: "2026-09-07", open: false }),
  view: ({ state, model }) => (
    <>
      <Text>Due date</Text>
      <Button onClick={() => model.set("open", !state.open)}>Toggle calendar</Button>
        <DatePicker
          inputLabel="Due date"
          name="due"
          value={state.date}
          year={2026}
          month={8}
          open={state.open}
          onValueChange={(date) => model.patch({ date, open: false })}
        />
      <Text>Due: {state.date || "No date selected"}</Text>
    </>
  )
});

State ownership and DOM target

Concern	Contract
State	Use open, value to supply rendered state. Update it through the documented callback or native event handler.
DOM target	Root props target the Popover wrapper. Use inputLabel for the nested native date input; name, value, min, and max configure that input.

Anatomy and related components

This component exposes one public component root rather than a compound member API.

Limitations

Avoid DatePicker when wrapping controls without labels or accessible names.

Use only the documented props, entry points, and compound members. Internal DOM nesting and CSS class names can change without becoming part of the public component contract.

Accessibility

Form components pass through native attributes and should be paired with visible labels or accessible names.

Use Field, FormLabel, FormControlLabel, or aria-label for labeling.
Preserve native input semantics whenever possible.
Expose validation with error text and aria-invalid where relevant.
