Measured entry
shadcn-block-calendar-07
A client-side date-range picker for stays, showing adjacent months on wider layouts and stacking them on narrow screens. It ships as a shadcn registry block that wraps the project's Calendar primitive, with local React state, react-day-picker types, date-fns, Radix Slot, Tailwind utilities, and shadcn theme tokens.

What the harness recorded
BARE BUILD
✗ Build failed in 36.97s 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 fit for booking flows: it builds, mounts, stays within the tested viewports, and presents the range constraint clearly. It is not drop-in for a bare React app and needs a shadcn-style setup, including the shared Calendar primitive and utility wiring.
Use it if
- You need a stay or booking range picker with an enforced minimum and maximum duration.
- Your product already uses shadcn's Calendar primitive and utility conventions.
- You want adjacent-month context that collapses cleanly on narrow screens.
Skip it if
- You need a single-date picker, free-form date entry, or time selection.
- Your app is not prepared to adopt shadcn aliases, theme tokens, and the shared class-name helper.
- The added calendar dependencies are too much for a rarely used interaction.
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 react-day-picker, date-fns, and Radix Slot; bring in the shadcn Calendar primitive, Tailwind styles and theme variables, the path alias, and the src/lib/utils class-name helper. Adapt the registry import to your local component path.
