Custom Selections

Draft

This documentation is still a work in progress. If you have any questions, ask to the discussions page on Github.

If the built-in selection modes are not enough for your app’s requirements, you can control the selection behavior using onDayClick.

Examples​

Week Selection​

The following example shows how to select the whole week when a day is clicked.

Note the use of the startOfWeek and endOfWeek functions from date-fns and how the selectedWeek state is passed to the modifiers prop.

import { useState } from "react";

import { endOfWeek, isSameWeek, startOfWeek } from "date-fns";
import { DateRange, DayPicker } from "react-day-picker";

/** Select the whole week when the day is clicked. */
export function CustomWeek() {
const [selectedWeek, setSelectedWeek] = useState<DateRange | undefined>();

return (
<DayPicker
showWeekNumber
modifiers={{
selected: selectedWeek
}}
onDayClick={(day, modifiers) => {
if (modifiers.selected) {
setSelectedWeek(undefined); // clear the selection if the week is already selected
return;
}
setSelectedWeek({
from: startOfWeek(day),
to: endOfWeek(day)
});
}}
onWeekNumberClick={(weekNumber, dates) => {
if (selectedWeek?.from && isSameWeek(dates[0], selectedWeek.from)) {
setSelectedWeek(undefined); // clear the selection if the week is already selected
return;
}
setSelectedWeek({
from: startOfWeek(dates[0]),
to: endOfWeek(dates[dates.length - 1])
});
}}
footer={
selectedWeek && (
<p>
Week from {selectedWeek.from.toLocaleDateString()} to
{selectedWeek.to.toLocaleDateString()}
</p>
)
}
/>
);
}

Single Selection​

For example, to implement the "single selection" behavior (like when mode="single"):

import { useState } from "react";

import { DayPicker, DayPickerProps } from "react-day-picker";

export function CustomSingle() {
const [selectedDate, setSelectedDate] = useState<Date | undefined>();

const modifiers: DayPickerProps["modifiers"] = {};
if (selectedDate) {
modifiers.selected = selectedDate;
}
return (
<DayPicker
modifiers={modifiers}
onDayClick={(day, modifiers) => {
if (modifiers.selected) {
setSelectedDate(undefined);
} else {
setSelectedDate(day);
}
}}
footer={selectedDate && `You selected ${selectedDate.toDateString()}`}
/>
);
}

Multi Selections​

The case of a multi-days select is a bit more complex as it deals with an array. The following example replicates the mode="multiple" selection mode.

import { useState } from "react";

import { isSameDay } from "date-fns";
import { DayMouseEventHandler, DayPicker } from "react-day-picker";

export function CustomMultiple() {
const [value, setValue] = useState<Date[]>([]);

const handleDayClick: DayMouseEventHandler = (day, modifiers) => {
const newValue = [...value];
if (modifiers.selected) {
const index = value.findIndex((d) => isSameDay(day, d));
newValue.splice(index, 1);
} else {
newValue.push(day);
}
setValue(newValue);
};

const handleResetClick = () => setValue([]);

let footer = <>Please pick one or more days.</>;

if (value.length > 0)
footer = (
<>
You selected {value.length} days.{" "}
<button onClick={handleResetClick}>Reset</button>
</>
);

return (
<DayPicker
onDayClick={handleDayClick}
modifiers={{ selected: value }}
footer={footer}
/>
);
}
