Measured entry

shadcn-block-calendar-05

calendarminimal-flat

A client-side date-range picker that renders adjacent months and keeps the selected range in local React state. It ships as a shadcn registry block backed by the shared Calendar and Button components, react-day-picker, date-fns, Lucide icons, Radix Slot, Tailwind theme tokens, and the cn utility.

Verdict

A solid range-selection block for an existing shadcn codebase, with clean mounting, responsive layout, and no detected accessibility issues. It needs a shadcn-style setup and is not a drop-in component for a bare React project.

Use it if

  • You need an inline range picker that shows adjacent months on wider screens.
  • Your app already uses shadcn components, Tailwind theme tokens, and the cn utility.
  • You want a controlled React example that is easy to connect to booking or reporting state.

Skip it if

  • You need a compact popover field rather than an always-visible calendar.
  • You want a dependency-light picker without react-day-picker and date-fns.
  • Your design system cannot absorb shadcn Button styles, theme tokens, and path aliases.

In a non-shadcn project, add the Calendar and Button source files, the cn class-merging utility, Lucide React, Tailwind configuration and shadcn theme variables, plus react-day-picker, date-fns, and Radix Slot. Configure the at-sign path alias or replace those imports with local paths.
