## Modal

The first option is to use the built-in modal. <a href="#example-1-modal">See code</a>.

<table>
   <tr>
  <td><img src="docs/react-native-datetime-picker-modal-ios.gif" alt="React Native DateTime Picker Modal iOS" height="400px" style="margin-left:10px" /></td>
        <td><img src="docs/react-native-datetime-picker-modal-android.gif" alt="React Native DateTime Picker Modal Android" height="400px" style="margin-left:10px" />
    </td>
  </tr>
      <tr>
  <td align="center">iOS</td><td align="center">Android</td>
  </tr>
  </table>

## Inlined

The second option is to use the inlined picker. Place it in a View or a custom made modal. <a href="#example-2-inlined">See code</a>.

<table>
   <tr>
  <td><img src="docs/react-native-date-time-picker-ios-inline.gif" alt="React Native DateTime Picker" height="400px" style="margin-left:10px" /></td>

## Requirements

- Xcode >= 11.6
- React Native >= 0.57.
- If using React Native 0.64, 0.64.2 or later must be used.
- If using Expo, SDK 42 or later must be used. If using Expo SDK 44, 44.0.4 or later must be used.

## Expo

- ✅ You can use this library with [Development Builds](https://docs.expo.dev/development/introduction/). No config plugin is required.
- ❌ This library can't be used in the "Expo Go" app because it [requires custom native code](https://docs.expo.dev/workflow/customizing/).

## Installation

1. Download package

```sh
# npm
npm install react-native-date-picker

# yarn
yarn add react-native-date-picker

# pnpm
pnpm add react-native-date-picker
```

2. Install pods (skip for expo projects)

```
cd ios && pod install
```

3. Rebuild the project

```sh
# expo projects
npx expo run:android
npx expo run:ios

# non-expo projects
npx react-native run-android
npx react-native run-ios
```

## Font size

To change the font size on Android. Open `styles.xml` and place this code right above the `</resources>`. The font size is not possible to change in iOS out of the box, but there are some [iOS workarounds](https://github.com/henninghall/react-native-date-picker/discussions/171).

```xml
<style name="DatePickerTheme" parent="DatePickerBaseTheme">
    <item name="android:textSize">25sp</item>
</style>
```

## React Native's new architecture

This package supports React Native's new architecture (Fabric + Turbo Modules) from React Native 0.71 and forward. Support was introduced in version `4.3.0` of `react-native-date-picker`.

## Linking

This package supports automatic linking. Usually, the only thing you need to do is to install the package, the cocoapods dependencies (as described above). Then rebuild the project by running `react-native run-ios`, `react-native run-android` or start the build from within Xcode/Android Studio. If you're running a React Native version below 0.60 or your setup is having issues with automatic linking, you can run `npx react-native link react-native-date-picker` and rebuild. In some occations you'll have to manually link the package. Instructions in <a href="https://github.com/henninghall/react-native-date-picker/issues/40">this issue</a>.

## FAQ

### How do i change the date order? (To YYYY-MM-DD etc)

The order is determined by the `locale` prop. Set for instance `locale='fr'`to get the french preference. ⚠️ Setting the `locale` to a different id won't change the title, confirm button and cancel button texts language.

### How do i change the 12/24h or AM/PM format?

On iOS the 12/24h preference is determined by the `locale` prop. Set for instance `locale='fr'`to get the french preference. On Android the 12/24h format is determined by the device setting by default. Add `is24hourSource="locale"` to let the locale determine the device setting on android as well. When using 12h mode the AM/PM part of the picker will be displayed. It is NOT recommended to force any specific 12/24h format, but this can be achieved by, choosing a locale which has the desired 24h preference and add `is24hourSource="locale"`.

### Is it possible to show only month and year?

This is unfortunately not possible due to the limitation in DatePickerIOS. You should be able to create your own month-year picker with for instance https://github.com/TronNatthakorn/react-native-wheel-pick.

### Why does the Android app crash in production?

If you have enabled <a href="https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/signed-apk-android#enabling-proguard-to-reduce-the-size-of-the-apk-optional">Proguard</a> for Android you might need to ignore some classes to get the the picker to work properly in android production/release mode. Add these lines to you proguard file (often called `proguard-rules.pro`):

```
-keep public class net.time4j.android.ApplicationStarter
-keep public class net.time4j.PrettyTime
```

### What does it take to upgrade to v4 (4.0.0)?

There are no breaking changes in v4, so just bump the version number in your package json.

### How can we disable confirm button until the wheel has stopped spinning?

Use the `onStateChange` prop to track the state of the spinning wheel.

```jsx
const [state, setState] = useState("idle")
...
<DatePicker onStateChange={setState} />
<ConfirmButton disabled={state === "spinning"} />
```

## Three different modes

Here are some more info about the three different picker modes that are available.

### Date time picker

Using the datetime mode gives you a react native date time picker where both date and time can be selected at the same time. The todays date will be replays with the string "Today" translated to the desired language. This is the default mode and look like this.

<table><tr><td align="center"><b>iOS</b></td><td align="center"><b>Android</b></td>  
  </tr><tr><td>
    <img src="docs/datetime-mode-ios.png" alt="date time picker" height="120px" 
/>
</td><td>
    <img src="docs/datetime-mode-android.png" alt="date time picker" height="120px" />
</td></tr></table>

Add the optional `datetime` mode property to use this mode. Since datetime is default this could also be exclude.

```jsx
<DatePicker
  ...
  mode="datetime"
/>
```

### Datepicker

The date mode displays a react native datepicker with year month and date where the year-month-date order will be adjusted to the locale. If will look similar to this:

<table><tr><td align="center"><b>iOS</b></td><td align="center"><b>Android</b></td>  
  </tr><tr><td>
    <img src="docs/date-mode-ios.png" alt="datepicker ios" height="120px" 
/>
</td><td>
    <img src="docs/date-mode-android.png" alt="datepicker" height="120px" />
</td></tr></table>

Just add the value `date` to mode property:

```jsx
<DatePicker
  ...
  mode="date"
/>
```

### Time picker

The time mode can be used when only the time matters. AM/PM will be added depending on locale and user setting. It can be useful to add the `timeInterval` to only display the time with for instance 15min intervals. The react native time picker look like this:

<table><tr><td align="center"><b>iOS</b></td><td align="center"><b>Android</b></td>  
  </tr><tr><td>
    <img src="docs/time-mode-ios.png" alt="react native time picker" height="120px" 
/>
</td><td>
    <img src="docs/time-mode-android.png" alt="react native time picker android" height="120px" />
</td></tr></table>

Set mode property to `time` to show the time picker:

```jsx
<DatePicker
  ...
  mode="time"
/>
```

## About

React Native Date Picker is a cross platform component for iOS and Android. It uses native code from respective platform to get the genuine look and feel the users expect. A strong motivation for creating this picker was the datetime mode on Android. It's quite unique for the platform and avoids two different picker popups, which normally is necessary. Instead, this datetime mode requires fewer user actions and enables a great user-experience.
