RangeCalendar

RangeCalendars display a grid of days in one or more months and allow users to select a contiguous range of dates.

Example#


<RangeCalendar aria-label="Trip dates" />
<RangeCalendar aria-label="Trip dates" />
<RangeCalendar aria-label="Trip dates" />

Value#


A RangeCalendar has no selection by default. An initial, uncontrolled value can be provided to the RangeCalendar using the defaultValue prop. Alternatively, a controlled value can be provided using the value prop.

Date ranges are objects with start and end properties containing date values, which are provided using objects in the @internationalized/date package. This library handles correct international date manipulation across calendars, time zones, and other localization concerns.

RangeCalendar supports values with both date and time components, but only allows users to modify the dates. By default, RangeCalendar will emit CalendarDate objects in the onChange event, but if a CalendarDateTime or ZonedDateTime object is passed as the value or defaultValue, values of that type will be emitted, changing only the date and preserving the time components.

import {parseDate} from '@internationalized/date';

function Example() {
  let [value, setValue] = React.useState({
    start: parseDate('2020-02-03'),
    end: parseDate('2020-02-12')
  });

  return (
    <Flex gap="size-300" wrap>
      <RangeCalendar
        aria-label="Date range (uncontrolled)"
        defaultValue={{
          start: parseDate('2020-02-03'),
          end: parseDate('2020-02-12')
        }} />
      <RangeCalendar
        aria-label="Date range (controlled)"
        value={value}
        onChange={setValue} />
    </Flex>
  );
}
import {parseDate} from '@internationalized/date';

International calendars#

RangeCalendar supports selecting dates in many calendar systems used around the world, including Gregorian, Hebrew, Indian, Islamic, Buddhist, and more. Dates are automatically displayed in the appropriate calendar system for the user's locale. The calendar system can be overridden using the Unicode calendar locale extension, passed to the Provider component.

Selected dates passed to onChange always use the same calendar system as the value or defaultValue prop. If no value or defaultValue is provided, then dates passed to onChange are always in the Gregorian calendar since this is the most commonly used. This means that even though the user selects dates in their local calendar system, applications are able to deal with dates from all users consistently.

The below example displays a RangeCalendar in the Hindi language, using the Indian calendar. Dates emitted from onChange are in the Gregorian calendar.

import {Provider} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';

function Example() {
  let [range, setRange] = React.useState(null);
  return (
    <Provider locale="hi-IN-u-ca-indian">
      <RangeCalendar
        aria-label="Date range"
        value={range}
        onChange={setRange}
      />
      <p>Start date: {range?.start.toString()}</p>
      <p>End date: {range?.end.toString()}</p>
    </Provider>
  );
}
import {Provider} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';

function Example() {
  let [range, setRange] = React.useState(null);
  return (
    <Provider locale="hi-IN-u-ca-indian">
      <RangeCalendar
        aria-label="Date range"
        value={range}
        onChange={setRange}
      />
      <p>Start date: {range?.start.toString()}</p>
      <p>End date: {range?.end.toString()}</p>
    </Provider>
  );
}
import {Provider} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';

function Example() {
  let [range, setRange] =
    React.useState(null);
  return (
    <Provider locale="hi-IN-u-ca-indian">
      <RangeCalendar
        aria-label="Date range"
        value={range}
        onChange={setRange}
      />
      <p>
        Start date:{' '}
        {range?.start
          .toString()}
      </p>
      <p>
        End date:{' '}
        {range?.end
          .toString()}
      </p>
    </Provider>
  );
}

Labeling#


An aria-label must be provided to the RangeCalendar for accessibility. If it is labeled by a separate element, an aria-labelledby prop must be provided using the id of the labeling element instead.

Internationalization#

In order to internationalize a RangeCalendar, a localized string should be passed to the aria-label prop. For languages that are read right-to-left (e.g. Hebrew and Arabic), the layout of the RangeCalendar is automatically flipped. Dates are automatically formatted using the current locale.

Events#


RangeCalendar accepts an onChange prop which is triggered whenever a date is selected by the user. The example below uses onChange to update a separate element with a formatted version of the date in the user's locale. This is done by converting the date to a native JavaScript Date object to pass to the formatter.

import {getLocalTimeZone} from '@internationalized/date';
import {useDateFormatter} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';

function Example() {
  let [range, setRange] = React.useState({
    start: parseDate('2020-07-03'),
    end: parseDate('2020-07-10')
  });
  let formatter = useDateFormatter({ dateStyle: 'long' });

  return (
    <>
      <RangeCalendar
        aria-label="Date range"
        value={range}
        onChange={setRange}
      />
      <p>
        Selected date: {formatter.formatRange(
          range.start.toDate(getLocalTimeZone()),
          range.end.toDate(getLocalTimeZone())
        )}
      </p>
    </>
  );
}
import {getLocalTimeZone} from '@internationalized/date';
import {useDateFormatter} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';

function Example() {
  let [range, setRange] = React.useState({
    start: parseDate('2020-07-03'),
    end: parseDate('2020-07-10')
  });
  let formatter = useDateFormatter({ dateStyle: 'long' });

  return (
    <>
      <RangeCalendar
        aria-label="Date range"
        value={range}
        onChange={setRange}
      />
      <p>
        Selected date: {formatter.formatRange(
          range.start.toDate(getLocalTimeZone()),
          range.end.toDate(getLocalTimeZone())
        )}
      </p>
    </>
  );
}
import {getLocalTimeZone} from '@internationalized/date';
import {useDateFormatter} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';

function Example() {
  let [range, setRange] =
    React.useState({
      start: parseDate(
        '2020-07-03'
      ),
      end: parseDate(
        '2020-07-10'
      )
    });
  let formatter =
    useDateFormatter({
      dateStyle: 'long'
    });

  return (
    <>
      <RangeCalendar
        aria-label="Date range"
        value={range}
        onChange={setRange}
      />
      <p>
        Selected date:
        {' '}
        {formatter
          .formatRange(
            range.start
              .toDate(
                getLocalTimeZone()
              ),
            range.end
              .toDate(
                getLocalTimeZone()
              )
          )}
      </p>
    </>
  );
}

Validation#


By default, RangeCalendar allows selecting any date range. The minValue and maxValue props can also be used to prevent the user from selecting dates outside a certain range.

This example only accepts dates after today.

import {today} from '@internationalized/date';

<RangeCalendar aria-label="Trip dates" minValue={today(getLocalTimeZone())} />
import {today} from '@internationalized/date';

<RangeCalendar
  aria-label="Trip dates"
  minValue={today(getLocalTimeZone())}
/>
import {today} from '@internationalized/date';

<RangeCalendar
  aria-label="Trip dates"
  minValue={today(
    getLocalTimeZone()
  )}
/>

Unavailable dates#

RangeCalendar supports marking certain dates as unavailable. These dates cannot be selected by the user and are displayed with a crossed out appearance. The isDateUnavailable prop accepts a callback that is called to evaluate whether each visible date is unavailable.

Note that by default, users may not select non-contiguous ranges, i.e. ranges that contain unavailable dates within them. Once a start date is selected, enabled dates will be restricted to subsequent dates until an unavailable date is hit. See below for an example of how to allow non-contiguous ranges.

This example includes multiple unavailable date ranges, e.g. dates when a rental house is not available. The minValue prop is also used to prevent selecting dates before today.

import {today} from '@internationalized/date';

function Example() {
  let now = today(getLocalTimeZone());
  let disabledRanges = [
    [now, now.add({ days: 5 })],
    [now.add({ days: 14 }), now.add({ days: 16 })],
    [now.add({ days: 23 }), now.add({ days: 24 })]
  ];

  let isDateUnavailable = (date) =>
    disabledRanges.some((interval) =>
      date.compare(interval[0]) >= 0 && date.compare(interval[1]) <= 0
    );

  return (
    <RangeCalendar
      aria-label="Trip dates"
      minValue={today(getLocalTimeZone())}
      isDateUnavailable={isDateUnavailable}
    />
  );
}
import {today} from '@internationalized/date';

function Example() {
  let now = today(getLocalTimeZone());
  let disabledRanges = [
    [now, now.add({ days: 5 })],
    [now.add({ days: 14 }), now.add({ days: 16 })],
    [now.add({ days: 23 }), now.add({ days: 24 })]
  ];

  let isDateUnavailable = (date) =>
    disabledRanges.some((interval) =>
      date.compare(interval[0]) >= 0 &&
      date.compare(interval[1]) <= 0
    );

  return (
    <RangeCalendar
      aria-label="Trip dates"
      minValue={today(getLocalTimeZone())}
      isDateUnavailable={isDateUnavailable}
    />
  );
}
import {today} from '@internationalized/date';

function Example() {
  let now = today(
    getLocalTimeZone()
  );
  let disabledRanges = [
    [
      now,
      now.add({
        days: 5
      })
    ],
    [
      now.add({
        days: 14
      }),
      now.add({
        days: 16
      })
    ],
    [
      now.add({
        days: 23
      }),
      now.add({
        days: 24
      })
    ]
  ];

  let isDateUnavailable =
    (date) =>
      disabledRanges
        .some((
          interval
        ) =>
          date.compare(
              interval[0]
            ) >= 0 &&
          date.compare(
              interval[1]
            ) <= 0
        );

  return (
    <RangeCalendar
      aria-label="Trip dates"
      minValue={today(
        getLocalTimeZone()
      )}
      isDateUnavailable={isDateUnavailable}
    />
  );
}

Non-contiguous ranges#

The allowsNonContiguousRanges prop enables a range to be selected even if there are unavailable dates in the middle. The value emitted in the onChange event will still be a single range with a start and end property, but unavailable dates will not be displayed as selected. It is up to applications to split the full selected range into multiple as needed for business logic.

This example prevents selecting weekends, but allows selecting ranges that span multiple weeks.

import {isWeekend} from '@internationalized/date';
import {useLocale} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';

function Example() {
  let { locale } = useLocale();

  return (
    <RangeCalendar
      aria-label="Time off request"
      isDateUnavailable={(date) => isWeekend(date, locale)}
      allowsNonContiguousRanges
    />
  );
}
import {isWeekend} from '@internationalized/date';
import {useLocale} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';

function Example() {
  let { locale } = useLocale();

  return (
    <RangeCalendar
      aria-label="Time off request"
      isDateUnavailable={(date) => isWeekend(date, locale)}
      allowsNonContiguousRanges
    />
  );
}
import {isWeekend} from '@internationalized/date';
import {useLocale} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';

function Example() {
  let { locale } =
    useLocale();

  return (
    <RangeCalendar
      aria-label="Time off request"
      isDateUnavailable={(date) =>
        isWeekend(
          date,
          locale
        )}
      allowsNonContiguousRanges
    />
  );
}

Controlling the focused date#


By default, the first selected date is focused when a RangeCalendar first mounts. If no value or defaultValue prop is provided, then the current date is focused. However, RangeCalendar supports controlling which date is focused using the focusedValue and onFocusChange props. This also determines which month is visible. The defaultFocusedValue prop allows setting the initial focused date when the RangeCalendar first mounts, without controlling it.

This example focuses July 1, 2021 by default. The user may change the focused date, and the onFocusChange event updates the state. Clicking the button resets the focused date back to the initial value.

import {CalendarDate} from '@internationalized/date';

function Example() {
  let defaultDate = new CalendarDate(2021, 7, 1);
  let [focusedDate, setFocusedDate] = React.useState(defaultDate);

  return (
    <Flex direction="column" alignItems="start" gap="size-200">
      <ActionButton onPress={() => setFocusedDate(defaultDate)}>
        Reset focused date
      </ActionButton>
      <RangeCalendar
        focusedValue={focusedDate}
        onFocusChange={setFocusedDate}
      />
    </Flex>
  );
}
import {CalendarDate} from '@internationalized/date';

function Example() {
  let defaultDate = new CalendarDate(2021, 7, 1);
  let [focusedDate, setFocusedDate] = React.useState(
    defaultDate
  );

  return (
    <Flex
      direction="column"
      alignItems="start"
      gap="size-200"
    >
      <ActionButton
        onPress={() => setFocusedDate(defaultDate)}
      >
        Reset focused date
      </ActionButton>
      <RangeCalendar
        focusedValue={focusedDate}
        onFocusChange={setFocusedDate}
      />
    </Flex>
  );
}
import {CalendarDate} from '@internationalized/date';

function Example() {
  let defaultDate =
    new CalendarDate(
      2021,
      7,
      1
    );
  let [
    focusedDate,
    setFocusedDate
  ] = React.useState(
    defaultDate
  );

  return (
    <Flex
      direction="column"
      alignItems="start"
      gap="size-200"
    >
      <ActionButton
        onPress={() =>
          setFocusedDate(
            defaultDate
          )}
      >
        Reset focused
        date
      </ActionButton>
      <RangeCalendar
        focusedValue={focusedDate}
        onFocusChange={setFocusedDate}
      />
    </Flex>
  );
}

Visual options#


Disabled#

<RangeCalendar aria-label="Trip dates" isDisabled />
<RangeCalendar aria-label="Trip dates" isDisabled />
<RangeCalendar
  aria-label="Trip dates"
  isDisabled
/>

Read only#

The isReadOnly boolean prop makes the RangeCalendar's value immutable. Unlike isDisabled, the RangeCalendar remains focusable.

<RangeCalendar
  aria-label="Trip dates"
  value={{
    start: today(getLocalTimeZone()),
    end: today(getLocalTimeZone()).add({ weeks: 1 })
  }}
  isReadOnly
/>
<RangeCalendar
  aria-label="Trip dates"
  value={{
    start: today(getLocalTimeZone()),
    end: today(getLocalTimeZone()).add({ weeks: 1 })
  }}
  isReadOnly
/>
<RangeCalendar
  aria-label="Trip dates"
  value={{
    start: today(
      getLocalTimeZone()
    ),
    end: today(
      getLocalTimeZone()
    ).add({ weeks: 1 })
  }}
  isReadOnly
/>

Visible months#

By default, a RangeCalendar displays a single month. The visibleMonths prop allows displaying up to 3 months at a time.

<div style={{maxWidth: '100%', overflow: 'auto'}}>
  <RangeCalendar aria-label="Trip dates" visibleMonths={3} />
</div>
<div style={{ maxWidth: '100%', overflow: 'auto' }}>
  <RangeCalendar
    aria-label="Trip dates"
    visibleMonths={3}

By default, when pressing the next or previous buttons, pagination will advance by the visibleMonths value. This behavior can be changed to page by single months instead, by setting pageBehavior to single.

<div style={{ maxWidth: '100%', overflow: 'auto' }}>
  <RangeCalendar
    aria-label="Trip dates"
    visibleMonths={3}
    pageBehavior="single"
  />
</div>
<div style={{ maxWidth: '100%', overflow: 'auto' }}>
  <RangeCalendar
    aria-label="Trip dates"
    visibleMonths={3}
    pageBehavior="single"
  />
