MonthSelector

A static month selector built to compliment the Calendar component when building date picking components. This component is stateless and only provides an unstyled UI for selecting a month.

Usage

Since this component is stateless, you need to provide a stateful component to handle the selected month. You can use the useState hook to achieve this.

import React from 'react';
import { MonthSelector } from 'calendar-widgets';

const CustomField = ({ monthIndex }) => (
<button
style={{
width: '100%',
marginBottom: '12px',
padding: '6px',
}}
>
{new Date(2000, monthIndex - 1).toLocaleDateString('en', { month: 'long' })}
</button>
);

const App = () => {
const [month, setMonth] = useState(1);
const userPreferredLang = 'en';

return (
<React.Fragment>
<span>Current selected index: {month}</span>

<MonthSelector
lang={userPreferredLang}
customField={CustomField}
style={{
width: '200px',
padding: '12px',
paddingBottom: '0',
maxHeight: '300px',
overflowY: 'auto'
}}
/>
</React.Fragment>
);
};
