cd foldername

Step 3: After creating the ReactJS application, Install the rsuite module so that we can use the DatePicker component using the following command:

Let’s see some examples to understand how to use the React Suite DatePicker format attribute/prop.

Example 1: Now replace the code in the App.js file with the code below. In this example, we used the format attribute of the DatePicker component to set the format of the date and time to input.

src/App.js

import "rsuite/dist/rsuite.min.css";
import React from "react";
import { DatePicker } from "rsuite";

function App() {

    const datepickerStyle = { marginBottom: "25px",
            marginTop: "10px" };

    return (

        <div className="App" style={{ display: "flex",
                alignItems: "center", flexDirection: "column" }}>
            <header style={{ textAlign: "center", display: "block",
                    marginBottom: "30px" }}>
                <h3 style={{ color: "green" }}>GeeksforGeeks</h3>
                <h5>React Suite DatePicker Usage Date and Time</h5>
            </header>

            <DatePicker style={datepickerStyle}
                    format="yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss" />
            <DatePicker style={datepickerStyle}
                    format="yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm" />

        </div>
    );
}

export default App;

Run the Application: Run your app using the following command from the root directory of the project.

npm start

Output: Go to http://localhost:3000/ in your browser to see the output.

Example 2: In this example, we used the format attribute along with the block attribute to make the date-time picker take up the whole width.

src/App.js

import "rsuite/dist/rsuite.min.css";
import React from "react";
import { DatePicker } from "rsuite";

function App() {

    const datepickerStyle = { marginBottom: "25px",
            marginTop: "10px" };

    return (

        <div className="App" style={{ padding: "0px 30px" }}>
            <header style={{ textAlign: "center", display: "block",
                    marginBottom: "30px" }}>
                <h3 style={{ color: "green" }}>GeeksforGeeks</h3>
                <h5>React Suite DatePicker Usage Date and Time</h5>
            </header>
            <DatePicker block style={datepickerStyle}
                    format="yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss" />
            <DatePicker block style={datepickerStyle}
                    format="yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm" />
        </div>
    );
}
