Date Picker

The legacy date picker let the user select a date.

Date pickers are displayed with:

Dialogs on mobile
Text field dropdowns on desktop

Basic usage

The date picker is rendered as a modal dialog on mobile, and a textbox with a popup on desktop.

Basic example

<DatePicker
  label="Basic example"
  value={value}
  onChange={(newValue) => {
    setValue(newValue);
  }}
  renderInput={(params) => <TextField {...params} />}
/>

<DatePicker
  label="Basic example"
  value={value}
  onChange={(newValue) => {
    setValue(newValue);
  }}
  renderInput={(params) => <TextField {...params} />}
/>

Static mode

It's possible to render any date picker without the modal/popover and text field. This can be helpful when building custom popover/modal containers.

<StaticDatePicker

  openTo="year"
  value={value}
  onChange={(newValue) => {
    setValue(newValue);
  }}
  renderInput={(params) => <TextField {...params} />}

Responsiveness

The date picker component is designed and optimized for the device it runs on.

The MobileDatePicker component works best for touch devices and small screens.
The DesktopDatePicker component works best for mouse devices and large screens.

By default, the DatePicker component renders the desktop version if the media query @media (pointer: fine) matches. This can be customized with the desktopModeMediaQuery prop.

There are certain caveats when testing pickers, please refer to this section for more information.

Custom input component

You can customize the rendering of the input with the renderInput prop. Make sure to spread ref and inputProps correctly to the custom input component.

<DatePicker
  label="Custom input"
  value={value}
  onChange={(newValue) => {
    setValue(newValue);
  }}
  renderInput={({ inputRef, inputProps, InputProps }) => (
    <Box sx={{ display: 'flex', alignItems: 'center' }}>
      <input ref={inputRef} {...inputProps} />
      {InputProps?.endAdornment}
    </Box>
  )}
/>

<DatePicker
  label="Custom input"
  value={value}
  onChange={(newValue) => {
    setValue(newValue);
  }}
  renderInput={({ inputRef, inputProps, InputProps }) => (
    <Box sx={{ display: 'flex', alignItems: 'center' }}>
      <input ref={inputRef} {...inputProps} />
      {InputProps?.endAdornment}
    </Box>
  )}
/>

Customize month layout

You can customize the month layout with some props.

To shows all days of displayed weeks, included those outside of the current month, use showDaysOutsideCurrentMonth.

By default, only weeks of the current month are displayed, but you can provide a total number of week to display with fixedWeekNumber prop. This value is usually set to 6 for Gregorian calendars, because months display can vary between 4 and 6 weeks.

Dynamic data

Sometimes it may be necessary to display additional info right in the calendar. Here's an example of prefetching and displaying server-side data using the onMonthChange, loading, and components.Day props.

Helper text

You can show a helper text with the date format accepted.

Helper text example

mm/dd/yyyy

<DatePicker
  label="Helper text example"
  value={value}
  onChange={(newValue) => {
    setValue(newValue);
  }}
  renderInput={(params) => (
    <TextField {...params} helperText={params?.inputProps?.placeholder} />
  )}
/>

<DatePicker
