import { Calendar } from "@/components/ui/calendar"
const [date, setDate] = React.useState<Date | undefined>(new Date())

See the React DayPicker documentation for more information.

About

The Calendar component is built on top of React DayPicker.

Date Picker

You can use the <Calendar> component to build a date picker. See the Date Picker page for more information.

Persian / Hijri / Jalali Calendar

To use the Persian calendar, edit components/ui/calendar.tsx and replace react-day-picker with react-day-picker/persian.

- import { DayPicker } from "react-day-picker"
+ import { DayPicker } from "react-day-picker/persian"

Selected Date (With TimeZone)

The Calendar component accepts a timeZone prop to ensure dates are displayed and selected in the user's local timezone.

export function CalendarWithTimezone() {
  const [date, setDate] = React.useState<Date | undefined>(undefined)
  const [timeZone, setTimeZone] = React.useState<string | undefined>(undefined)
 
  React.useEffect(() => {
    setTimeZone(Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone)
  }, [])
 
  return (
    <Calendar
      mode="single"
      selected={date}
      onSelect={setDate}
      timeZone={timeZone}
    />
  )
}

Note: If you notice a selected date offset (for example, selecting the 20th highlights the 19th), make sure the timeZone prop is set to the user's local timezone.

Why client-side? The timezone is detected using Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone inside a useEffect to ensure compatibility with server-side rendering. Detecting the timezone during render would cause hydration mismatches, as the server and client may be in different timezones.

Basic

A basic calendar component. We used className="rounded-lg border" to style the calendar.

Custom Cell Size

December 2026

You can customize the size of calendar cells using the --cell-size CSS variable. You can also make it responsive by using breakpoint-specific values:

<Calendar
  mode="single"
  selected={date}
  onSelect={setDate}
  className="rounded-lg border [--cell-size:--spacing(11)] md:[--cell-size:--spacing(12)]"
/>

Or use fixed values:

<Calendar
  mode="single"
  selected={date}
  onSelect={setDate}
  className="rounded-lg border [--cell-size:2.75rem] md:[--cell-size:3rem]"
/>

Week Numbers

Use showWeekNumber to show week numbers.

RTL

To enable RTL support in FlowbyAr/ui, see the RTL configuration guide.

See also the Hijri Guide for enabling the Persian / Hijri / Jalali calendar.

يوليو 2026

When using RTL, import the locale from react-day-picker/locale and pass both the locale and dir props to the Calendar component:

import { arSA } from "react-day-picker/locale"
 
;<Calendar
  mode="single"
  selected={date}
  onSelect={setDate}
  locale={arSA}
  dir="rtl"
/>

API Reference

See the React DayPicker documentation for more information on the Calendar component.

RTL Support

If you're upgrading from a previous version of the Calendar component, you'll need to apply the following updates to add locale support:

Import the Locale type.

Add Locale to your imports from react-day-picker:

  import {
    DayPicker,
    getDefaultClassNames,
    type DayButton,
+   type Locale,
  } from "react-day-picker"

Add locale prop to the Calendar component.

Add the locale prop to the component's props:

  function Calendar({
    className,
    classNames,
    showOutsideDays = true,
    captionLayout = "label",
    buttonVariant = "ghost",
+   locale,
    formatters,
    components,
    ...props
  }: React.ComponentProps<typeof DayPicker> & {
    buttonVariant?: React.ComponentProps<typeof Button>["variant"]
  }) {

Pass locale to DayPicker.

Pass the locale prop to the DayPicker component:

    <DayPicker
      showOutsideDays={showOutsideDays}
      className={cn(...)}
      captionLayout={captionLayout}
+     locale={locale}
      formatters={{
        formatMonthDropdown: (date) =>
-         date.toLocaleString("default", { month: "short" }),
+         date.toLocaleString(locale?.code, { month: "short" }),
        ...formatters,
      }}

Update CalendarDayButton to accept locale.

Update the CalendarDayButton component signature and pass locale:

  function CalendarDayButton({
    className,
    day,
    modifiers,
+   locale,
    ...props
- }: React.ComponentProps<typeof DayButton>) {
+ }: React.ComponentProps<typeof DayButton> & { locale?: Partial<Locale> }) {

Update date formatting in CalendarDayButton.

Use locale?.code in the date formatting:

    <Button
      variant="ghost"
      size="icon"
-     data-day={day.date.toLocaleDateString()}
+     data-day={day.date.toLocaleDateString(locale?.code)}
      ...
    />

Pass locale to DayButton component.

Update the DayButton component usage to pass the locale prop:

      components={{
        ...
-       DayButton: CalendarDayButton,
+       DayButton: ({ ...props }) => (
+         <CalendarDayButton locale={locale} {...props} />
+       ),
        ...
      }}

Update RTL-aware CSS classes.

Replace directional classes with logical properties for better RTL support:

  // In the day classNames:
- [&:last-child[data-selected=true]_button]:rounded-r-(--cell-radius)
+ [&:last-child[data-selected=true]_button]:rounded-e-(--cell-radius)
- [&:nth-child(2)[data-selected=true]_button]:rounded-l-(--cell-radius)
+ [&:nth-child(2)[data-selected=true]_button]:rounded-s-(--cell-radius)
- [&:first-child[data-selected=true]_button]:rounded-l-(--cell-radius)
+ [&:first-child[data-selected=true]_button]:rounded-s-(--cell-radius)
 
  // In range_start classNames:
- rounded-l-(--cell-radius) ... after:right-0
+ rounded-s-(--cell-radius) ... after:end-0
 
  // In range_end classNames:
- rounded-r-(--cell-radius) ... after:left-0
+ rounded-e-(--cell-radius) ... after:start-0
 
  // In CalendarDayButton className:
- data-[range-end=true]:rounded-r-(--cell-radius)
+ data-[range-end=true]:rounded-e-(--cell-radius)
- data-[range-start=true]:rounded-l-(--cell-radius)
+ data-[range-start=true]:rounded-s-(--cell-radius)

After applying these changes, you can use the locale prop to provide locale-specific formatting:

import { enUS } from "react-day-picker/locale"
 
;<Calendar mode="single" selected={date} onSelect={setDate} locale={enUS} />
