Watch Date Picker

A customizable date picker for watchOS and SwiftUI.

Installation

Add the https://github.com/freysie/watch-date-picker package, then add the WatchDatePicker product to your app’s WatchKit extension target.

Overview

The DatePicker view displays a button with a title and the selected value. When pressed, it presents a user interface for selecting date, time, or both.

Watch Date Picker is designed to look and feel similar to the system’s date and time pickers, seen in apps such as Alarms, Calendar, and Reminders, with an API matching SwiftUI’s built-in DatePicker.

    "Date & Time",

Customization

DateInputView and TimeInputView, the two views which DatePicker is primarily composed of, can be used on their own.

Date Input View

The date input view displays three pickers for selecting day, month, and year.

DateInputView(selection: $value)

The date input view uses the current locale for labeling and ordering the day-month-year pickers.

DateInputView(selection: $value)
    .environment(\.locale, Locale(identifier: "fr"))

Time Input View

The time input view displays a clock dial for selecting hour and minute. In locales with AM/PM-based time, AM/PM buttons will be displayed, otherwise 24-hour mode is used.

TimeInputView(selection: $value)

24-hour mode can be explicitly enabled or disabled regardless of locale.

TimeInputView(selection: $value)
    .timeInputViewTwentyFourHourMode()

TimeInputView(selection: $value)
    .timeInputViewTwentyFourHourMode(false)

The 24-hour mode indicator can be hidden.

TimeInputView(selection: $value)
    .timeInputViewTwentyFourHourMode()
    .timeInputViewTwentyFourHourIndicator(.hidden)

See the documentation for more options.
