Behavior

Close on Select

When shouldCloseOnSelect is enabled, the picker automatically confirms and closes when a date is clicked.

import { useState } from "react";
import { DateTimePicker } from "react-date-range-picker-tailwind3";

function ShouldCloseOnSelect() {
  const [value, setValue] = useState<Date | null>(null);

  return (
    <DateTimePicker
      value={value}
      onChange={setValue}
      shouldCloseOnSelect
      time={{ minuteStep: 5 }}
    />
  );
}

Multiple Months

Display multiple months side by side.

import { useState } from "react";
import { DateTimePicker } from "react-date-range-picker-tailwind3";

function MultiMonth() {
  const [value, setValue] = useState<Date | null>(null);

  return (
    <DateTimePicker value={value} onChange={setValue} numberOfMonths={2} time={{ minuteStep: 5 }} />
  );
}

Form Integration

Use the name prop to include a hidden input for native form submission.

💡 Tip

The submit button styling in this example is custom — the library only provides the date picker.

import { type SubmitEvent, useState } from "react";
import { DateTimePicker } from "react-date-range-picker-tailwind3";

function FormIntegration() {
  const [value, setValue] = useState<Date | null>(null);

  const handleSubmit = (e: SubmitEvent<HTMLFormElement>) => {
    e.preventDefault();
    const formData = new FormData(e.currentTarget);
    const appointment = formData.get("appointment");
    alert(`Submitted datetime: ${typeof appointment === "string" ? appointment : ""}`);
  };

  return (
    <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
      <DateTimePicker value={value} onChange={setValue} name="appointment" />
      <button type="submit" style={{ marginTop: 8 }}>
        Submit
      </button>
    </form>
  );
}
