Measured entry
shadcn-block-calendar-09
A client-side React date-range picker that shows adjacent months and prevents weekend selection. It ships as a shadcn registry block around the shared Calendar component, using React state, react-day-picker, date-fns, Radix Slot, Lucide icons, button primitives, utility classes, and the cn helper.

What the harness recorded
BARE BUILD
✗ Build failed in 31.95s 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 good fit for weekday range selection in an existing shadcn codebase. The configured component builds and mounts cleanly, but the bare case fails on the missing cn utility, so it needs a shadcn-style setup and is not a drop-in React widget.
Use it if
- Booking or scheduling flows where users select a contiguous weekday range.
- An existing shadcn app already has the Calendar and Button primitives plus theme tokens.
- Teams want an inline picker with neighboring months visible and disabled dates excluded from range selection.
Skip it if
- Weekend selection is valid for the product and should not be blocked.
- The flow needs only a single date, freeform date input, or a compact popover trigger.
- The project avoids Tailwind and shadcn conventions or cannot accept the calendar dependency footprint.
- Date availability depends on time zones, holidays, inventory, or server-side business rules beyond a weekday filter.
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, Radix Slot, and Lucide React; copy the Calendar and Button primitives; provide the cn utility and import alias; and map the Tailwind utilities and theme tokens used by those primitives.
