ReactJS Blueprint DateTimePicker 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. DateTimePicker Component is composed of DatePicker and a TimePicker into one container. We can use the following approach in ReactJS to use the ReactJS Blueprint DateTimePicker Component.

DateTimePicker Props:

• canClearSelection: It allows the user to clear the selection by clicking the currently selected day when this is set to true.
• className: It is used to denote a space-delimited list of class names to pass along to a child element.
• datePickerProps: Any props to be passed on to the DatePicker other than the onChange and value props.
• defaultValue: It is used to denote the initial date and time value that will be set.
• onChange: It is a callback function that is triggered when the user changes the date or time.
• timePickerProps: Any props to be passed on to the TimePicker other than the onChange and value props.
• value: It is used to denote the currently set date and time.

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.

app.js

import React from 'react'
import '@blueprintjs/datetime/lib/css/blueprint-datetime.css';
import '@blueprintjs/core/lib/css/blueprint.css';
import { DateTimePicker } from "@blueprintjs/datetime";

function App() {
    return (
        <div style={{
            display: 'block', width: 400, padding: 30
        }}>
            <h4>ReactJS Blueprint DateTimePicker Component</h4>
            <DateTimePicker
                value={new Date()}
                onChange={() => { console.log("Process data") }}
            />
        </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:
