Components

DatePicker

An example of a date picker component built with v-calendar.

Installation

This example is a composition of a Popover and v-calendar. We also use date-fns to format dates.

Note that you can use any calendar library you want.

Let's start by installing the v-calendar and date-fns dependency:

pnpm add v-calendar@next date-fns

Usage

You can create a DatePicker.vue component based on the DatePicker from v-calendar.

The following example is styled based on the primary and gray colors and supports the dark mode. It also supports a v-model or v-model.range depending on the type of date you want to use.

components/DatePicker.vue
<script setup lang="ts">
import { DatePicker as VCalendarDatePicker } from 'v-calendar'
// @ts-ignore
import type { DatePickerDate, DatePickerRangeObject } from 'v-calendar/dist/types/src/use/datePicker'
import 'v-calendar/dist/style.css'

defineOptions({
  inheritAttrs: false
})

const props = defineProps({
  modelValue: {
    type: [Date, Object] as PropType<DatePickerDate | DatePickerRangeObject | null>,
    default: null
  }
})

const emit = defineEmits(['update:model-value', 'close'])

const date = computed({
  get: () => props.modelValue,
  set: (value) => {
    emit('update:model-value', value)
    emit('close')
  }
})

const attrs = {
  'transparent': true,
  'borderless': true,
  'color': 'primary',
  'is-dark': { selector: 'html', darkClass: 'dark' },
  'first-day-of-week': 2
}

function onDayClick(_: any, event: MouseEvent): void {
  const target = event.target as HTMLElement
  target.blur()
}
</script>
