Blocks

We have built a collection of 30+ calendar blocks that you can use to build your own calendar components.

See all calendar blocks in the Blocks Library page.

Installation

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add calendar

Usage

import { Calendar } from "@/components/ui/calendar"
const [date, setDate] = React.useState<Date | undefined>(new Date())
 
return (
  <Calendar
    mode="single"
    selected={date}
    onSelect={setDate}
    className="rounded-lg border"
  />
)

See the React DayPicker documentation for more information.

About

The Calendar component is built on top of React DayPicker.

Date Picker

You can use the <Calendar> component to build a date picker. See the Date Picker page for more information.

Persian / Hijri / Jalali Calendar

To use the Persian calendar, edit components/ui/calendar.tsx and replace react-day-picker with react-day-picker/persian.

- import { DayPicker } from "react-day-picker"
+ import { DayPicker } from "react-day-picker/persian"

Selected Date (With TimeZone)

The Calendar component accepts a timeZone prop to ensure dates are displayed and selected in the user's local timezone.

export function CalendarWithTimezone() {
  const [date, setDate] = React.useState<Date | undefined>(undefined)
  const [timeZone, setTimeZone] = React.useState<string | undefined>(undefined)
 
  React.useEffect(() => {
    setTimeZone(Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone)
  }, [])
 
  return (
    <Calendar
      mode="single"
      selected={date}
      onSelect={setDate}
      timeZone={timeZone}
    />
  )
}

Note: If you notice a selected date offset (for example, selecting the 20th highlights the 19th), make sure the timeZone prop is set to the user's local timezone.

Why client-side? The timezone is detected using Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone inside a useEffect to ensure compatibility with server-side rendering. Detecting the timezone during render would cause hydration mismatches, as the server and client may be in different timezones.

Examples

Basic

Custom Cell Size

December 2026
"use client"

import * as React from "react"

You can customize the size of calendar cells using the --cell-size CSS variable. You can also make it responsive by using breakpoint-specific values:

<Calendar
  mode="single"
  selected={date}
  onSelect={setDate}
  className="rounded-lg border [--cell-size:--spacing(11)] md:[--cell-size:--spacing(12)]"
/>

Or use fixed values:

<Calendar
  mode="single"
  selected={date}
  onSelect={setDate}
  className="rounded-lg border [--cell-size:2.75rem] md:[--cell-size:3rem]"
/>

Week Numbers

Use showWeekNumber to show week numbers.

RTL

To enable RTL support in shadcn/ui, see the RTL configuration guide.

See also the Hijri Guide for enabling the Persian / Hijri / Jalali calendar.

"use client"

import * as React from "react"

When using RTL, import the locale from react-day-picker/locale and pass both the locale and dir props to the Calendar component:

import { arSA } from "react-day-picker/locale"
 
;<Calendar
  mode="single"
  selected={date}
  onSelect={setDate}
  locale={arSA}
  dir="rtl"
/>

API Reference

See the React DayPicker documentation for more information on the Calendar component.

Changelog

RTL Support

If you're upgrading from a previous version of the Calendar component, you'll need to apply the following updates to add locale support:

Import the Locale type.

Add Locale to your imports from react-day-picker:

  import {
    DayPicker,
    getDefaultClassNames,
    type DayButton,
+   type Locale,
  } from "react-day-picker"

Add locale prop to the Calendar component.

Add the locale prop to the component's props:

  function Calendar({
    className,
    classNames,
    showOutsideDays = true,
    captionLayout = "label",
    buttonVariant = "ghost",
+   locale,
    formatters,
    components,
    ...props
  }: React.ComponentProps<typeof DayPicker> & {
    buttonVariant?: React.ComponentProps<typeof Button>["variant"]
  }) {

Pass locale to DayPicker.

Pass the locale prop to the DayPicker component:

    <DayPicker
      showOutsideDays={showOutsideDays}
      className={cn(...)}
      captionLayout={captionLayout}
+     locale={locale}
      formatters={{
        formatMonthDropdown: (date) =>
-         date.toLocaleString("default", { month: "short" }),
+         date.toLocaleString(locale?.code, { month: "short" }),
        ...formatters,
      }}

Update CalendarDayButton to accept locale.

Update the CalendarDayButton component signature and pass locale:

  function CalendarDayButton({
    className,
    day,
    modifiers,
+   locale,
    ...props
- }: React.ComponentProps<typeof DayButton>) {
+ }: React.ComponentProps<typeof DayButton> & { locale?: Partial<Locale> }) {

Update date formatting in CalendarDayButton.

Use locale?.code in the date formatting:

    <Button
      variant="ghost"
      size="icon"
-     data-day={day.date.toLocaleDateString()}
+     data-day={day.date.toLocaleDateString(locale?.code)}
      ...
    />

Pass locale to DayButton component.

Update the DayButton component usage to pass the locale prop:

      components={{
        ...
-       DayButton: CalendarDayButton,
+       DayButton: ({ ...props }) => (
+         <CalendarDayButton locale={locale} {...props} />
+       ),
        ...
      }}

Update RTL-aware CSS classes.

Replace directional classes with logical properties for better RTL support:

  // In the day classNames:
- [&:last-child[data-selected=true]_button]:rounded-r-(--cell-radius)
+ [&:last-child[data-selected=true]_button]:rounded-e-(--cell-radius)
- [&:nth-child(2)[data-selected=true]_button]:rounded-l-(--cell-radius)
+ [&:nth-child(2)[data-selected=true]_button]:rounded-s-(--cell-radius)
- [&:first-child[data-selected=true]_button]:rounded-l-(--cell-radius)
+ [&:first-child[data-selected=true]_button]:rounded-s-(--cell-radius)
 
  // In range_start classNames:
- rounded-l-(--cell-radius) ... after:right-0
+ rounded-s-(--cell-radius) ... after:end-0
 
  // In range_end classNames:
- rounded-r-(--cell-radius) ... after:left-0
+ rounded-e-(--cell-radius) ... after:start-0
 
  // In CalendarDayButton className:
- data-[range-end=true]:rounded-r-(--cell-radius)
+ data-[range-end=true]:rounded-e-(--cell-radius)
- data-[range-start=true]:rounded-l-(--cell-radius)
+ data-[range-start=true]:rounded-s-(--cell-radius)

After applying these changes, you can use the locale prop to provide locale-specific formatting:

import { enUS } from "react-day-picker/locale"
 
;<Calendar mode="single" selected={date} onSelect={setDate} locale={enUS} />
