Examples

Native date input

The browser owns date entry, constraints, locale and picker UI; provide a visible label.

Date Picker

Default

Start date

import { DatePicker } from "@gunkin/uiify";

export default function Example() {
  return (
    <div>
      <label htmlFor="start-date">Start date</label>
      <DatePicker id="start-date" name="startDate" defaultValue="2026-10-19" />
    </div>
  );
}

API

`DatePicker`

Prop	Type	Default	Description
`type`	`fixed to "date"`	—	Fixed native input type; the browser supplies the date picker.
`invalid`	`boolean`	`false`	Sets aria-invalid and data-invalid when true.
`id / name / value / defaultValue / min / max / required / disabled`	`native input props`	—	Native date input props and form behavior are preserved.
`className / style / ref / events`	`native input props`	—	Native input props, styles, events, and ref are forwarded.

Keyboard

Key	Action

Accessibility

Direct native input type=date wrapper. Provide a visible label and use native required, min, and max constraints. The browser owns date entry, locale, keyboard behavior, and picker UI; UIify does not format values, convert time zones, or provide a calendar grid. invalid sets aria-invalid and data-invalid.
