Measured entry
ruixen-chrono-select
selectunclassifiedmotion on file
An inline React date picker that expands from its trigger into an animated monthly calendar, with month navigation, a today shortcut, click-outside dismissal, and optional interaction sounds. It ships as a client component styled with Tailwind classes and depends on Motion plus a shadcn-style cn utility backed by clsx and tailwind-merge.

What the harness recorded
BARE BUILD
✗ Build failed in 826ms error during build: [vite:load-fallback] Could not load <sandbox>re-f83f9a0ca857/src/lib/utils (imported by src/cut/components/ruixen/chrono-select.tsx): ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '<sandbox>re-f83f9a0ca857/src/lib/utils'
Verdict
A polished fit for a Tailwind interface that needs a focused single-date picker, but its limited date rules and keyboard model keep it out of demanding form systems. It needs a shadcn-style setup because the bare project cannot resolve its shared utility import.
Use it if
- You want a compact single-date picker that stays visually attached to its trigger.
- Your interface already uses Tailwind, a cn utility, and Motion animations.
- You want month navigation, a today shortcut, dark-mode classes, and optional interaction sounds in one component.
Skip it if
- You need a native date input with browser-provided localization and mobile picker behavior.
- You require full keyboard calendar-grid navigation, explicit dialog semantics, or mature date-picker accessibility behavior.
- You need date ranges, disabled dates, minimum or maximum bounds, locale-aware labels, or custom date formatting.
- You want a strictly controlled value that also clears when the parent passes an empty value.
Install
| Declared dependencies | motion, clsx, tailwind-merge |
|---|---|
| Missing on install | none |
| Bare install | fails once the shadcn-style helpers are removed, so it needs that setup |
| Provider | no provider required in the harness |
In a non-shadcn project, add Motion, Tailwind, clsx, and tailwind-merge; configure the source alias; create the shared cn helper; include the Tailwind styles and dark-mode behavior; and keep the component on the client. Disable the sound option if interaction audio is inappropriate.
