Tailwind CSS Datepicker

Basic example

The datepicker allows users to enter a date either through text input, or by choosing a date from the calendar. Date pickers can be embedded into dialogs on mobile and text field dropdowns on desktop.

Accessibility

We added proper aria attributes to the datepicker controls to make the component accessible. It's possible to change the values of those attributes by modifying the component options:

javascript

        
            
      okBtnLabel: 'Confirm selection', clearBtnLabel: 'Clear selection',
      cancelBtnLabel: 'Cancel selection', nextMonthLabel: 'Next month',
      prevMonthLabel: 'Previous month', nextYearLabel: 'Next year',
      prevYearLabel: 'Previous year', nextMultiYearLabel: 'Next 24 years',
      prevMultiYearLabel: 'Previous 24 years', switchToMultiYearViewLabel:
      'Choose year and month', switchToMonthViewLabel: 'Choose date',
      switchToDayViewLabel: 'Choose date',

Import

Importing components depends on how your application works. If you intend to use the TW elements ES format, you must first import the component and then initialize it with the initTWE method. If you are going to use the UMD format, just import the tw-elements package.

javascript
umd

ES UMD

        
            
        import { Datepicker, Input, initTWE } from "tw-elements";
        initTWE({ Datepicker, Input });

        
            
        import "tw-elements";

Usage

Via data attributes

Elements with the data-twe-datepicker-init attribute will be automatically initialized - you can set all available options with data attributes. For ES format, you must first import and call the initTWE method.

HTML

Via JavaScript

You can access an instance from your Javascript code, by using the getInstance static method of the Datepicker class - it allows making use of all the public methods listed in the Methods section.

Methods

Asynchronous methods and transitions:
All API methods are asynchronous and start a transition. They return to the caller as soon as the transition is started but before it ends. In addition, a method call on a transitioning component will be ignored.

Method	Description	Example
`open`	Manually opens a datepicker	`myDatepicker.open()`
`close`	Manually closes a datepicker	`myDatepicker.close()`
`dispose`	Disposes a datepicker instance	`myDatepicker.dispose()`
`getInstance`	Static method which allows you to get the datepicker instance associated to a DOM element.	`Datepicker.getInstance(datepickerEl)`
`getOrCreateInstance`	Static method which returns the datepicker instance associated to a DOM element or create a new one in case it wasn't initialized.	`Datepicker.getOrCreateInstance(datepickerEl)`
`update`	Updates options of a datepicker instance.	`datepicker.update({inline: true})`
