Handling React-Calendar Date Selection: A Guide to Maintain Your Selected Date

When working with React-Calendar, many developers encounter a common issue: the calendar seems to reset to the current date whenever a day is clicked in the month view. This can be quite frustrating, especially if your goal is to allow users to select dates without forcing a return to today’s date. In this guide, we will explore why this happens and provide an effective solution to keep the calendar on the selected date.

The Problem Explained

Imagine you have a calendar component in your React application that should allow users to select a date. However, every time they select a day, the calendar automatically goes back to highlight today's date instead of retaining their chosen date. This behavior can cause confusion and disrupt the user experience.

Symptoms of the Issue:

Clicking a day on the calendar resets it to the current month.

The expected behavior is that the user can stay on the month they are viewing without reverting to today.

To illustrate the problem, let’s take a look at a standard implementation of the Calendar component:

In the example above, the use of onChange and onClickDay as null functions still leads to the calendar resetting its view each time a date is clicked. But don’t worry! There’s a straightforward way to fix this issue.

The Solution: Keeping Your Selected Date

Step 1: Set Up Your Component State

To ensure that the calendar retains the selected date, we need to manage its state effectively. Here’s a revised version of the component setup where we maintain the date in the component state:

Step 2: Render the Calendar with Controlled Date

Next, render the Calendar component while binding its value to the state. This allows the calendar to reflect the current state value whenever the date changes:

Step 3: Define the Date Change Handler

Now, define the onChange method to update the state with the selected date. This method will be invoked whenever a user clicks on a day in the calendar:

Conclusion

With these adjustments, you can enhance your React-Calendar implementation, allowing users to select dates without the calendar resetting back to today. By managing the component state correctly, you provide a smoother, more controlled experience, which reduces user frustration and improves functionality.

Now you're all set to delve deeper into date selection with React-Calendar! Happy coding!
