DatePicker

The DatePicker component wraps react-datepicker with Payload's styles, localization, and date and time display options.

Import

1
import { DatePicker } from '@payloadcms/ui'

Basic usage

Loading component example…

Pair the picker with a visible label. id is applied to the picker's wrapper element, not to the underlying input, so pass the input's ID through overrides and point the label's htmlFor at that value instead:

1
<label htmlFor="publish-date-input">Publish date</label>
2
<DatePicker
3
onChange={setValue}
4
overrides={{ id: 'publish-date-input' }}
5
value={value}
6
/>

The picker calls onChange with null when its clear button is used.

Picker appearances

Use pickerAppearance to choose between a date, date and time, day, month, or time input. Payload selects a matching display format when displayFormat is not provided.
