Apparently some React devs don't know that <input type="date"> exists and think you need a library for that? So I made a really quick demo...

You can still make fun of #useThePlatform for other things that platform doesn't handle well but non-native date pickers on mobile are bad...

thing though, I'm guessing the native calendar is not stylable which is kind of a dealbreaker imo.

I understand your perspective, but many developers opt for using date libraries to ensure consistent design across platforms/browsers. Moreover, when dealing with date localization, there are varying behaviors across different browsers. P.S. I'm not a React.js developer, but I believe this applies to other frameworks too

For those interested in more details of what you can use where ->

Wait till they learn about <datalist>

Apparently react devs come across some real world business needs.

Safari doesn't fully support this so

Safari doens't support week and month views, which up until a few months ago I didn't even know existed 😅 If you need those, fine, but most people need a date-picker and instead use a 1mb lib that doesn't work well on mobile just because...

tks

I like this but it is too small for me. Not the UI. I mean the bundle size. If you ain't adding 8mb of JS for a date picker in your React app then you ain't doing React
