react-native-paper-dates
- Smooth and fast cross platform Material Design date picker and time picker for (react-native-paper)
- Tested on Android, iOS and the web
- Uses the native Date.Intl API's which work out of the box on the web / iOS an on Android with Hermes from RN version 0.66 (automatic day name, month translations without bundle size increase)
- For RN below 0.66 see for Android Intl support the android-caveats guide
- Simple API
- Typesafe
- Endless (virtual) scrolling
- Performant
- Great React Native Web support

Getting started
First install and follow the guides at react-native-paper
Yarn
yarn add react-native-paper-dates
npm
npm install react-native-paper-dates --save
Import some localized strings
Ideally you do this somewhere in your index.js
before react-native-paper-dates
is used.
Currently we only have en/nl/pl translations but it's really easy to add one extra since it are only some labels and error messages
// e.g in your index.js
import {
// en,
// nl,
// pl,
enGB,
registerTranslation,
} from 'react-native-paper-dates'
// registerTranslation('en', en)
// registerTranslation('nl', nl)
// registerTranslation('pl', pl)
registerTranslation('en-GB', enGB)
or register your own
Please send a PR with your language to make sure all locales are there next time
import {
registerTranslation,
} from 'react-native-paper-dates'
registerTranslation("pl", {
save: 'Save',
selectSingle: 'Select date',
selectMultiple: 'Select dates',
selectRange: 'Select period',
notAccordingToDateFormat: (inputFormat: string) =>
`Date format must be ${inputFormat}`,
mustBeHigherThan: 'Must be later then',
mustBeLowerThan: 'Must be earlier then',
mustBeBetween: 'Must be between',
dateIsDisabled: 'Day is not allowed',
})
Usage
Single date Picker (modal)
import * as React from 'react';
import { Button } from 'react-native-paper';
import { DatePickerModal } from 'react-native-paper-dates';
export default function ReadMeExampleSingle() {
const [date, setDate] = React.useState<Date | undefined>(undefined);
const [open, setOpen] = React.useState(false);
const onDismissSingle = React.useCallback(() => {
setOpen(false);
}, [setOpen]);
const onConfirmSingle = React.useCallback(
(params) => {
setOpen(false);
setDate(params.date);
},
[setOpen, setDate]
);
return (
<>
<Button onPress={() => setOpen(true)} uppercase={false} mode="outlined">
Pick single date
</Button>
<DatePickerModal
locale="en"
mode="single"
visible={open}
onDismiss={onDismissSingle}
date={date}
onConfirm={onConfirmSingle}
// validRange={{
// startDate: new Date(2021, 1, 2), // optional
// endDate: new Date(), // optional
// disabledDates: [new Date()] // optional
// }}
// onChange={} // same props as onConfirm but triggered without confirmed by user
// saveLabel="Save" // optional
// label="Select date" // optional
// animationType="slide" // optional, default is 'slide' on ios/android and 'none' on web
/>
</>
);
}
Range picker (modal)
import * as React from 'react';

export default function ReadMeExampleRange() {
const [range, setRange] = React.useState<{
startDate: Date | undefined;
endDate: Date | undefined;
}>({ startDate: undefined, endDate: undefined });
const [open, setOpen] = React.useState(false);
const onDismiss = React.useCallback(() => {
setOpen(false);
}, [setOpen]);
const onConfirm = React.useCallback(
({ startDate, endDate }) => {
setOpen(false);
setRange({ startDate, endDate });
},
[setOpen, setRange]
);
return (
<>
<Button onPress={() => setOpen(true)} uppercase={false} mode="outlined">
Pick range
</Button>
<DatePickerModal
locale="en"
mode="range"
visible={open}
onDismiss={onDismiss}
startDate={range.startDate}

onConfirm={onConfirm}
// validRange={{
// startDate: new Date(2021, 1, 2), // optional
// endDate: new Date(), // optional
// disabledDates: [new Date()] // optional
// }}
// onChange={} // same props as onConfirm but triggered without confirmed by user
// saveLabel="Save" // optional
// label="Select period" // optional

/>
</>
);
}
Multiple dates picker

const [open, setOpen] = React.useState(false);
const onDismiss = React.useCallback(() => {
setOpen(false);
}, [setOpen]);
const onConfirm = React.useCallback((params) => {
setOpen(false);
setDates(params.dates);
console.log('[on-change-multi]', params);
}, []);
return (
<>
<Button onPress={() => setOpen(true)} uppercase={false} mode="outlined">

Roadmap
Things on our roadmap have labels with enhancement
.

Tips & Tricks
- Use 0.14+ version of React-Native-Web (Modal and better number input)
- Try to avoid putting the Picker Modals inside of a scrollView If that is not possible use the following props on the surrounding ScrollViews/Flatlists
keyboardDismissMode="on-drag"
keyboardShouldPersistTaps="handled"
contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior="always"
This is to prevent the need to press 2 times before save or close button in modal works (1 press for closing keyboard, 1 press for confirm/close) React Native Issue: #10138
Android Caveats
We recommend Hermes with React Native >= 0.66 you won't need these polyfills at all!
Below React Native 0.66
You will need to add a polyfill for the Intl API on Android if:
- You have Hermes enabled and are below React Native 0.66
- You have Hermes disabled and you want to support locales outside of en-US and you don't have the org.webkit:android-jsc-intl:+ variant enabled in your app/build.gradle
Install polyfills with Yarn
yarn add react-native-localize @formatjs/intl-pluralrules @formatjs/intl-getcanonicallocales @formatjs/intl-listformat @formatjs/intl-displaynames @formatjs/intl-locale @formatjs/intl-datetimeformat @formatjs/intl-numberformat @formatjs/intl-relativetimeformat
or npm
npm install react-native-localize @formatjs/intl-pluralrules @formatjs/intl-getcanonicallocales @formatjs/intl-listformat @formatjs/intl-displaynames @formatjs/intl-locale @formatjs/intl-datetimeformat @formatjs/intl-numberformat @formatjs/intl-relativetimeformat --save
In your app starting entrypoint e.g. ./index.js
or even better use a index.android.js
to prevent importing on iOS/web put the following code. (don't forget to import the languages you want to support, in the example only english language is supported)
// on top of your index.android.js file
const isAndroid = require('react-native').Platform.OS === 'android'; // this line is only needed if you don't use an .android.js file
const isHermesEnabled = !!global.HermesInternal; // this line is only needed if you don't use an .android.js file
// in your index.js file
if (isHermesEnabled || isAndroid) { // this line is only needed if you don't use an .android.js file
require('@formatjs/intl-getcanonicallocales/polyfill');
require('@formatjs/intl-locale/polyfill');
require('@formatjs/intl-pluralrules/polyfill');
require('@formatjs/intl-pluralrules/locale-data/en.js'); // USE YOUR OWN LANGUAGE OR MULTIPLE IMPORTS YOU WANT TO SUPPORT

require('@formatjs/intl-relativetimeformat/polyfill');
require('@formatjs/intl-relativetimeformat/locale-data/en.js'); // USE YOUR OWN LANGUAGE OR MULTIPLE IMPORTS YOU WANT TO SUPPORT
require('@formatjs/intl-datetimeformat/polyfill');
require('@formatjs/intl-datetimeformat/locale-data/en.js'); // USE YOUR OWN LANGUAGE OR MULTIPLE IMPORTS YOU WANT TO SUPPORT
require('@formatjs/intl-datetimeformat/add-golden-tz.js');
// https://formatjs.io/docs/polyfills/intl-datetimeformat/#default-timezone
if ('__setDefaultTimeZone' in Intl.DateTimeFormat) {
// If you are using react-native-cli
let RNLocalize = require('react-native-localize');
Intl.DateTimeFormat.__setDefaultTimeZone(RNLocalize.getTimeZone());
// Are you using Expo, use this instead of previous 2 lines
// Intl.DateTimeFormat.__setDefaultTimeZone(
// require("expo-localization").timezone
// );
}
} // this line is only needed if you don't use an .android.js file
