Measured entry

shadcn-block-calendar-02

calendarminimal-flat

A client-side React registry block that renders a bordered, controlled date picker with adjacent months and single-date selection. It ships as a shadcn block wrapping the project Calendar primitive, with React Day Picker, date-fns, Radix Slot, Tailwind-style classes, and the shared cn utility underneath.

Verdict

A dependable starting point for single-date selection: it builds, mounts, stays within its viewport, and produced no automated accessibility findings in the prepared harness. It does not run bare and needs a shadcn-style setup, while its calendar dependencies add meaningful client weight.

Use it if

  • You need adjacent-month browsing with a controlled single-date value.
  • Your app already follows shadcn registry conventions and has the shared Calendar primitive.
  • You want a compact date-picking block that behaves cleanly across narrow and wide layouts.

Skip it if

  • You need date ranges, time selection, booking availability, or disabled-date rules out of the box.
  • Your project does not use Tailwind-style utilities, path aliases, or a shared cn helper.
  • You are minimizing client dependency weight and only need a native date field.

In a non-shadcn project, add React Day Picker, date-fns, and Radix Slot; copy or recreate the Calendar primitive; provide the cn class-merging utility and matching path alias; and port the expected Tailwind theme tokens and utility classes.
