Measured entry
shadcn-block-calendar-05
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.

What the harness recorded
BARE BUILD
✗ Build failed in 28.67s error during build: [vite:load-fallback] Could not load <sandbox>/src/lib/utils (imported by src/components/ui/calendar.tsx): ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '<sandbox>/src/lib/utils'
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.
Install
| Declared dependencies | react-day-picker@latest, date-fns, @radix-ui/react-slot |
|---|---|
| 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 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.
