ReactJS Blueprint DateRangePicker Component

BlueprintJS is a React-based UI toolkit for the web. This library is very optimized and popular for building interfaces that are complex data-dense for desktop applications. DateRangePicker Component helps the user to select a single range of days, and it shows two sequential month calendars. We can use the following approach in ReactJS to use the ReactJS Blueprint DateRangePicker Component.

DateRangeShortcut Props:

• dateRange: It is used to denote the date range represented by this shortcut.
• includeTime: It is used to allow this shortcut to change the selected times as well as the dates if this prop is set to true.
• label: It is used to denote the shortcut label that appears in the list.

DateRangePicker Props:

• allowSingleDayRange: It is used to indicate whether the start and end dates of range can be the same day.
• boundaryToModify: It is used to denote the date-range boundary that the next click should modify.
• className: It is used to denote a space-delimited list of class names to pass along to a child element.
• contiguousCalendarMonths: It is used to indicate whether displayed months in the calendar are contiguous.

• initialMonth: It is used to denote the initial month the calendar displays.
• locale: It is used to denote the locale name that is passed to the functions in localeUtils.

• minDate: It is used to denote the earliest date the user can select.
• modifiers: It is used to denote the collection of functions that determine which modifier classes get applied to which days.

Creating React Application And Installing Module:

• Step 1: Create a React application using the following command:

  npx create-react-app foldername

• Step 2: After creating your project folder i.e. foldername, move to it using the following command:

  cd foldername

• Step 3: After creating the ReactJS application, Install the required module using the following command:

  npm install @blueprintjs/core
  npm install @blueprintjs/popover2

Project Structure: It will look like the following.

Project Structure

Example: Now write down the following code in the App.js file. Here, App is our default component where we have written our code.

Step to Run Application: Run the application using the following command from the root directory of the project:

npm start

Output: Now open your browser and go to http://localhost:3000/, you will see the following output:
