Getting started

Compatibility

React-Calendar uses modern web technologies. That's why it's so fast, lightweight and easy to style. This, however, comes at a cost of supporting only modern browsers.

Browser	Minimum supported version
Google Chrome	24
Mozilla Firefox	29
Microsoft Edge	12
Apple Safari	10
Apple Safari (iOS)	10.2
Opera	15
Internet Explorer	11
Samsung Internet	4

Legacy browsers

If you need to support legacy browsers like Internet Explorer 10, you will need to use Intl.js or another Intl polyfill along with React-Calendar.

Installation

Add React-Calendar to your project by executing npm install react-calendar or yarn add react-calendar.

Usage

Here's an example of basic usage:

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import Calendar from 'react-calendar';

class MyApp extends Component {
  state = {
    date: new Date(),
  }

  onChange = date => this.setState({ date })

  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <Calendar
          onChange={this.onChange}
        />
      </div>
    );
  }
}

Custom styling

If you don't want to use default React-Calendar styling to build upon it, you can import React-Calendar by using import Calendar from 'react-calendar/build/entry.nostyle'; instead.
