Preface

The component depends on the @internationalized/date package, which solves a lot of the problems that come with working with dates and times in JavaScript.

We highly recommend reading through the documentation for the package to get a solid feel for how it works, and you'll need to install it in your project to use the date-related components.

Installation

Install the date package.

sh
$ npm add @internationalized/date

Install the component from your command line.

sh
$ npm add reka-ui
