Selection Modes
DayPicker offers predefined rules for date selection:
- Single mode: Allows the selection of a single date.
- Multiple mode: Allows the selection of multiple individual dates.
- Range mode: Allows the selection of a continuous range of dates.
The mode
prop determines the selection mode. Use the disabled
prop to prevent the selection of specific dates. The selected
and onSelect
props provide customization options for the selection process.
Prop Name | Type | Description |

mode | "single" | "multiple" | "range" | Enter a selection mode. |
disabled | Matcher | Matcher[] | Disabled dates that cannot be selected. |
selected | Date | Date[] | DateRange | undefined | The selected date(s). |
required | boolean (MDN) | When true , the selection is required. |
onSelect | OnSelectHandler | Event callback when a date is selected. |
Single Mode
When the mode
prop is set to "single"
, only one date can be selected at a time.
<DayPicker mode="single" />

---|---|---|
selected | Date | undefined (MDN) | The selected date. |
onSelect | OnSelectHandler<Date | undefined> | Event callback when a date is selected. |

Controlled Selections
Use the selected
and onSelect
props to control the selected date:
export function App() {
const [selected, setSelected] = React.useState<Date | undefined>();
return <DayPicker mode="single" selected={selected} onSelect={setSelected} />;
}
Required Selection
By setting the required
prop, DayPicker ensures that the user cannot unselect the selected date.
<DayPicker mode="single" required />
Multiple Mode
Set the mode
prop to "multiple"
to enable the selection of multiple dates in DayPicker.
<DayPicker mode="multiple" />
Multiple Mode Props
Prop Name | Type | Description |

selected | Date[] | undefined | The selected dates. |
onSelect | OnSelectHandler<Date[] | undefined> | Event callback when a date is selected. |
min | number | The minimum number of dates that can be selected. |

Use the selected
and onSelect
props to manage the selected dates:
export function App() {
const [selected, setSelected] = React.useState<Date[] | undefined>();
return (
<DayPicker mode="multiple" selected={selected} onSelect={setSelected} />
);
}
Min and Max Dates
Use the min
and max
props to limit the number of selectable dates.
<DayPicker mode="multiple" min={2} max={5} />
Required Selection
By setting the required
prop, DayPicker ensures that the selected dates cannot be unselected.
<DayPicker mode="multiple" required selected={[new Date()]} />
Range Mode
Set the mode
prop to "range"
to enable the selection of a continuous range of dates in DayPicker.
<DayPicker mode="range" />
Range Mode Props
Prop Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
selected | DateRange | The selected range. |
onSelect | OnSelectHandler<DateRange | undefined> | Event callback when a date is selected. |
required | boolean | Make the selection required. |
min | number | The minimum number of nights in the range. |
max | number | The maximum number of nights in the range. |
excludeDisabled | boolean | Exclude disabled dates from the range. |
Min and Max Dates
By default, a range can have a length of 0 nights, meaning the start date can be the same as the end date. Use the min
prop to set the minimum number of nights. The range will remain "open" until at least the min
number of nights are selected.
Similarly, use the max
prop to set the maximum number of nights.
<DayPicker mode="range" min={1} max={6} />
Required Ranges
By setting the required
prop, DayPicker ensures that the selected range cannot be unselected.
<DayPicker mode="range" required />
Disabling Dates
To disable specific dates, use the disabled
prop. Disabled dates cannot be selected.
Matchers Types
The prop accepts a Matcher
or an array of matchers to specify which dates should be disabled.
Matcher Type | Description |
---|---|
boolean | Disable all dates. |
Date | Matches a specific date. |
Date[] | Matches any date in the array of dates. |

DayOfWeek | Matches specific days of the week (e.g., Sunday is 0 , Saturday is 6 ). |
(date: Date) => boolean | A function that returns true if the given date matches the condition. |
Matcher[] | An array of the matchers listed above. |
// Disable all dates
<DayPicker disabled />
// Disable a specific date
<DayPicker disabled={new Date(2023, 9, 1)} />
// Disable an array of dates
<DayPicker disabled={[new Date(2023, 9, 1), new Date(2023, 9, 2)]} />
// Disable a range of dates
<DayPicker disabled={{ from: new Date(2023, 9, 1), to: new Date(2023, 9, 5) }} />
// Disable specific days of the week
<DayPicker disabled={{ dayOfWeek: [0, 6] }} /> // disable weekends
// Disable dates before a specific date
<DayPicker disabled={{ before: new Date(2023, 9, 1) }} />
// Disable dates after a specific date
<DayPicker disabled={{ after: new Date(2023, 9, 5) }} />
// Disable dates between two dates
<DayPicker disabled={{ before: new Date(2023, 9, 1), after: new Date(2023, 9, 5) }} />
Disabling Weekends
To disable weekends, use the dayOfWeek
matcher, where 0
is Sunday and 6
is Saturday.
<DayPicker disabled={{ dayOfWeek: [0, 6] }} />
Disabling Dates in the Past
Use the before
matcher to disable all dates before today.
<DayPicker mode="single" disabled={{ before: new Date() }} />
Excluding Disabled Dates from Range
In range
mode, disabled dates are included in the selected range by default. To exclude disabled dates from the range, use the excludeDisabled
prop. If a disabled date is selected, the range will reset.
<DayPicker
mode="range"
// Disable weekends
disabled={{ dayOfWeek: [0, 6] }}
// Reset range when a disabled date is included
excludeDisabled
/>
Customizing Selections
To customize the behavior of a selection mode, use the selected
and onSelect
props to handle the selection event and update the selected dates according to your application's requirements:
import { useState } from "react";
import { DayPicker } from "react-day-picker";
export function App() {
const [selected, setSelected] = useState<Date[] | undefined>();
const handleSelect = (newSelected) => {
// Update the selected dates
setSelected(newSelected);
};
return (
<DayPicker mode="multiple" selected={selected} onSelect={handleSelect} />
);
}
You can also set the selection mode to default
and implement your own mode using modifiers
and onDayClick
. For more information, read the Custom Selections guide.
