Available components

The component is available in four variants:

  • The DesktopDatePicker component which works best for mouse devices and large screens. It renders the views inside a popover and allows editing values directly inside the field.

  • The MobileDatePicker component which works best for touch devices and small screens. It renders the view inside a modal and does not allow editing values directly inside the field.

  • The DatePicker component which renders DesktopDatePicker or MobileDatePicker depending on the device it runs on.

  • The StaticDatePicker component which renders without the popover/modal and field.
