Date Picker

The Date Picker component lets users select a date.

Basic usage

Component composition

The component is built using the DateField for the keyboard editing and the DateCalendar for the view editing.

Check-out their documentation page for more information:

• Date Field
• Date Calendar

You can check the available props of the combined component on the dedicated API page. Some DateField props are not available on the Picker component, you can use slotProps.field to pass them to the field.

Uncontrolled vs. controlled value

The value of the component can be uncontrolled or controlled.

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.

By default, the DatePicker component renders the desktop version if the media query @media (pointer: fine) matches. This can be customized with the desktopModeMediaQuery prop.

Form props

The component can be disabled or read-only.

Views
