  const [open, setOpen] = React.useState(false);

  const onDismissSingle = React.useCallback(() => {
    setOpen(false);
  }, [setOpen]);

  const onConfirmSingle = React.useCallback(
    (params) => {
      setOpen(false);
      setDate(params.date);
    },
    [setOpen, setDate]
  );

  return (
    <>
      <Button onPress={() => setOpen(true)} uppercase={false} mode="outlined">
        Pick single date
      </Button>
      <DatePickerModal
        // locale={'en'} optional, default: automatic
        mode="single"
        visible={open}
        onDismiss={onDismissSingle}
        date={date}
        onConfirm={onConfirmSingle}
        // validRange={{
        //   startDate: new Date(2021, 1, 2),  // optional
        //   endDate: new Date(), // optional
        // }}
        // onChange={} // same props as onConfirm but triggered without confirmed by user
        // saveLabel="Save" // optional

Roadmap

Things on our roadmap have labels with enhancement. https://github.com/web-ridge/react-native-paper-dates/issues

Tips & Tricks

• Use 0.14+ version of React-Native-Web (Modal and better number input)
• Try to avoid putting the Picker Modals inside of a scrollView If that is not possible use the following props on the surrounding ScrollViews/Flatlists

    keyboardDismissMode="on-drag"
    keyboardShouldPersistTaps="handled"
    contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior="always"

This is to prevent the need to press 2 times before save or close button in modal works (1 press for closing keyboard, 1 press for confirm/close) React Native Issue: #10138

Android Caveats

You will need to add a polyfill for the Intl API on Android if:

• You have Hermes enabled
• You have Hermes disabled and you want to support locales outside of en-US and you don't have the org.webkit:android-jsc-intl:+ variant enabled in your app/build.gradle

update: Hermes is planning on native Intl support in version 0.65! when that's released we won't need any polyfills anymore!

But for now.

Install polyfills with Yarn

yarn add react-native-localize @formatjs/intl-pluralrules @formatjs/intl-getcanonicallocales @formatjs/intl-listformat @formatjs/intl-displaynames @formatjs/intl-locale @formatjs/intl-datetimeformat @formatjs/intl-numberformat @formatjs/intl-relativetimeformat

or npm

npm install react-native-localize @formatjs/intl-pluralrules @formatjs/intl-getcanonicallocales @formatjs/intl-listformat @formatjs/intl-displaynames @formatjs/intl-locale @formatjs/intl-datetimeformat @formatjs/intl-numberformat @formatjs/intl-relativetimeformat --save

In your app starting entrypoint e.g. ./index.js or even better use a index.android.js to prevent importing on iOS/web put the following code. (don't forget to import the languages you want to support, in the example only english language is supported)

// on top of your index.android.js file
const isAndroid = require('react-native').Platform.OS === 'android';
const isHermesEnabled = !!global.HermesInternal;

// in your index.js file
if (isHermesEnabled || isAndroid) {

  require('@formatjs/intl-getcanonicallocales/polyfill');
  require('@formatjs/intl-locale/polyfill');


  require('@formatjs/intl-pluralrules/polyfill');
  require('@formatjs/intl-pluralrules/locale-data/en.js'); // USE YOUR OWN LANGUAGE OR MULTIPLE IMPORTS YOU WANT TO SUPPORT

  require('@formatjs/intl-displaynames/polyfill');
  require('@formatjs/intl-displaynames/locale-data/en.js'); // USE YOUR OWN LANGUAGE OR MULTIPLE IMPORTS YOU WANT TO SUPPORT

  require('@formatjs/intl-listformat/polyfill');
  require('@formatjs/intl-listformat/locale-data/en.js'); // USE YOUR OWN LANGUAGE OR MULTIPLE IMPORTS YOU WANT TO SUPPORT

  require('@formatjs/intl-numberformat/polyfill');
  require('@formatjs/intl-numberformat/locale-data/en.js'); // USE YOUR OWN LANGUAGE OR MULTIPLE IMPORTS YOU WANT TO SUPPORT

  require('@formatjs/intl-relativetimeformat/polyfill');
  require('@formatjs/intl-relativetimeformat/locale-data/en.js'); // USE YOUR OWN LANGUAGE OR MULTIPLE IMPORTS YOU WANT TO SUPPORT

  require('@formatjs/intl-datetimeformat/polyfill');
  require('@formatjs/intl-datetimeformat/locale-data/en.js'); // USE YOUR OWN LANGUAGE OR MULTIPLE IMPORTS YOU WANT TO SUPPORT

  require('@formatjs/intl-datetimeformat/add-golden-tz.js');



  // https://formatjs.io/docs/polyfills/intl-datetimeformat/#default-timezone

  if ('__setDefaultTimeZone' in Intl.DateTimeFormat) {

    // If you are using react-native-cli
    let RNLocalize = require('react-native-localize');
    Intl.DateTimeFormat.__setDefaultTimeZone(RNLocalize.getTimeZone());

    //  Are you using Expo, use this instead of previous 2 lines
    //  Intl.DateTimeFormat.__setDefaultTimeZone(
    //    require("expo-localization").timezone
    //  );
  }
}
