ReactJS Blueprint DateRangeInput Component

Last Updated : 13 Jul, 2021

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. DateRangeInput Component helps the user to enter the date range. It is used in forms where the user must enter a date range. We can use the following approach in ReactJS to use the ReactJS Blueprint DateRangeInput Component.

DateRangeInput Props:

outOfRangeMessage: It is used to denote the error message to display when selected date is out of range.
overlappingDatesMessage: It is used to denote the error message to display when selected dates overlap.

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.

App.js

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