🧠 Usage

Single Date Picker

Use it for selecting a single date, just like any standard date picker.

import React, { useState } from "react";
import EtDatePicker from "habesha-datepicker";

function MyComponent() {
  const [selectedDate, setSelectedDate] = useState<Date | null>(null);

  return (
    <EtDatePicker
      label="Select Document Date"
      value={selectedDate}
      onChange={(date) => setSelectedDate(date as Date | null)}
      minDate={new Date("YYYY-MM-DD")}
      maxDate={new Date("YYYY-MM-DD")}
    />
  );
}

Range Picker (Start → End)

Need to select a date range? It's straightforward.

import React, { useState } from "react";
import EtDatePicker from "habesha-datepicker";

function MyRangeComponent() {
  const [dateRange, setDateRange] = useState<[Date | null, Date | null]>([null, null]);

  return (
    <EtDatePicker
      label="Select Date Range"
      isRange
      value={dateRange}
      onChange={(range) => setDateRange(range as [Date | null, Date | null])}
    />
  );
}

🌍 Localization

Since version 0.1.7, the date picker offers robust localization options:

• GC – Gregorian Calendar
• EC – Ethiopian Calendar (Amharic)
• AO – Afan Oromo
• CUSTOM – Define your own calendar labels

Step 1: Wrap your application with the provider

import { EtLocalizationProvider } from "habesha-datepicker";

function MyApp({ children }) {
  return (
    <EtLocalizationProvider localType="EC"> {/* or 'AO', 'GC', 'CUSTOM' */}
      {children}
    </EtLocalizationProvider>
  );
}

Step 2: Utilize CUSTOM localization (optional)

For full control over month names, use the CUSTOM type and provide your own getLocalMonthName function:

<EtLocalizationProvider
  localType="CUSTOM"
  getLocalMonthName={(month) => ["Custom Month 1", "Custom Month 2", "Custom Month 3", "Custom Month 4", "Custom Month 5", "Custom Month 6", "Custom Month 7", "Custom Month 8", "Custom Month 9", "Custom Month 10", "Custom Month 11", "Custom Month 12", "Custom Month 13"][month - 1]}
>
  {children}
</EtLocalizationProvider>

🗓 EtDateViewer

If you simply need to display a date without the ability to edit it, the EtDateViewer component is perfect.

import { EtDateViewer } from "habesha-datepicker";

<EtDateViewer date={new Date()} sx={{ color: "blue" }} variant="h6" />;

🧰 EthiopianDateUtil

This utility provides helpful functions for working with Ethiopian dates directly.

Create a date manually

import { EthiopianDate } from "habesha-datepicker";

const newEthiopianDate = EthiopianDate.createEthiopianDateFromParts(23, 7, 2013); // Day, Month, Year

Convert between calendars

import { EthiopianDate } from "habesha-datepicker";

const ethiopianDate = EthiopianDate.toEth(new Date()); // Converts Gregorian Date to Ethiopian Date
const gregorianDate = EthiopianDate.toGreg({ Day: 23, Month: 7, Year: 2013 }); // Converts Ethiopian Date to Gregorian Date

Get all month names

Access the array of Ethiopian month names:

import { EthiopianDate } from "habesha-datepicker";

const allEthiopianMonths = EthiopianDate.ethMonths;
