    Date field

    The native date input in the field style, or a from–to range that keeps the end after the start.

    0.14% of the 2,073 sites in The UI Index have a date picker (3 sites).

    Pick a weekday; we deploy at 09:00.

    Both previews render the same markup; the HTML tab below is that markup without a framework.

    Install

    React
    npx shadcn@latest add https://www.themes.dev/ui/r/date-field.json
    Astro
    npx shadcn@latest add https://www.themes.dev/ui/r/astro/date-field.json

    Or copy the files below into your project. They need clsx, tailwind-merge, and the themes.dev UI theme. The HTML needs only the compiled CSS and the script.
