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/datetime
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.
import React from 'react'
import '@blueprintjs/datetime/lib/css/blueprint-datetime.css';
import '@blueprintjs/core/lib/css/blueprint.css';
import { DatePicker } from "@blueprintjs/datetime";
function App() {
return (
<div style={{
display: 'block', width: 400, padding: 30
}}>
<h4>ReactJS Blueprint DatePicker Component</h4>
<DatePicker />
</div >
);
} export default App;
|
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:
