Views

The component can contain three views: day, month, and year. By default, only the day and year views are enabled.

You can customize the enabled views using the views prop. Views will appear in the order they're included in the views array.

Choose the initial year / month

If value or defaultValue contains a valid date, this date will be used to choose which month to render in the day view and which year to render in the month view. If both value and defaultValue contain no valid date, the component will try to find a month and year that satisfies the validation rules.

You can override this date using the referenceDate, in the example below the calendar renders April 2022 even though no date is visually selected:

Month and Year Calendar

If you only need the year view or the month view, you can use the YearCalendar / MonthCalendar components:

YearCalendar

MonthCalendar

Order of years

By default, years are displayed in ascending order, chronologically from the minimum year to the maximum. Set the yearsOrder prop to desc to show the years in descending order.

Years in descending order

Day view customization

Show additional days

To show all days of displayed weeks, including 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 weeks to display with fixedWeekNumber prop. This value is usually set to 6 for Gregorian calendars, because month display can vary between 4 and 6 weeks.

Display week number

To display week numbers, use the displayWeekNumber prop. You can customize the calendar week header by using the localization key localeText.calendarWeekNumberHeaderText. You can also customize what's rendered as a calendar week number, using a callback for the localization key localeText.calendarWeekNumberText.
