Extend the functionality of the DatePicker component to include support
for a range calendar. This enhancement allows users to select a date
range spanning multiple calendar cells, enabling more flexible date
selection.
Make sure every date formatter has the same time zone by encapsulating
it in a factored custom hook. Reorganize component to gain
in readability and improve maintainability.
Select under the calendar component were not properly initialized,
leading to issues. Additionally, syncing the dropdowns with the calendar
state was causing unnecessary renders. Selects now update on user events
triggered by the toggle button, ensuring the selected item remains
up-to-date. The code has been refactored to eliminate duplication
and improve the component's readability and maintainability.
Based on the Figma DS design by Alex, a mono date-picker
component has been added. It uses react-aria headless ui
component capabilities, with downshift headless ui component.
React-aria was not supporting by default dropdown menus to
select months and years. We could not reuse Popover component
from react-aria because we are not using their headless ui
component for the button one. Clicking on the toggle calendar
button triggers both the button and the popover click outside
events. React-aria button uses a custom onPress props that is
disabled by their popover. Instead, I have implemented a simple
custom hook. This is the first acceptable version of the component.
Some minor user interaction are missing. This first component
doesn't support time selection.
