Measured entry
shadcn-block-calendar-08
A client-side, single-date calendar block that starts with a selected date and disables every earlier day. It ships as a shadcn registry block wrapping the shared Calendar component, with React state and dependencies on react-day-picker, date-fns, Radix Slot, Tailwind styling, and the shadcn utility helper.

What the harness recorded
BARE BUILD
✗ Build failed in 34.39s 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 focused, dependable starting point for cutoff-based date selection, with a clean verified build and mount in its intended environment. It needs a shadcn-style setup because the bare project cannot resolve the expected utility module.
Use it if
- You need a date picker that prevents selection before a fixed cutoff.
- Your app already uses shadcn components, aliases, and Tailwind theme conventions.
- You want controlled single-date selection that can be connected to form or booking state.
Skip it if
- You need a date range, time selection, or a configurable availability model without extending the block.
- Your project does not use Tailwind or shadcn conventions and you do not want to adopt their supporting files.
- You need the cutoff date to come from props or live data without modifying the example.
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 shared Calendar implementation, the aliased utility module that provides class-name merging, matching path aliases, Tailwind theme styles, and the declared react-day-picker, date-fns, and Radix Slot packages. Replace the registry import with your local Calendar path.
