js-joda VS react-datepicker

js-joda

So first, a simple example of how this works. Using our "What is your birthday" example, we can mock up this code. Note: I'm using TypeScript because it enforces the concepts at compile time, but the JsJoda library itself enforces the concepts at runtime so that we get the best of both.

Dealing with human dates is non-trivial thanks to localization. The easiest thing to do is to start with something zone agnostic (like UTC or epoch) do your date calculation, and then shift that into the locale you want. date-fns is fine for basic date math, but if you want something more robust, with a more cohesive API, I'd recommend js-joda.

How come the js-joda library is never mentioned in discussions about javascript date/time libraries? its API is perfect and it has been around forever. but instead the community seems to keep inventing more and more new datetime libraries. i don't understand why js-joda seems to be ignored

I've been getting by with js joda. Temporal is a welcome addition.

Support for the domain models LocalDate, LocalDateTime, ZonedDateTime, Instant, Duration and Period. Also, supports IANA timezone, adding the plugin @js-joda/timezone you'll have access to the IANA timezone database with all the timezones available.

react-datepicker is a lightweight library with a lot of features.

I have added a date picker to my application. I want to make the selected date section read-only, but when I add readonly to the input, it blocks the entire date picker. I need to do this in css or its component. (without js)

Live demo

I searched for alternative date pickers to use in place of the default HTML one. I found out that there is a React Date Picker component that can be used in place of the field.

Exactly. There are tons of different ways to solve that problem in react-date picker, this being one of them: https://reactdatepicker.com/#example-year-dropdown

The trending project I researched and selected is react-datepicker https://github.com/Hacker0x01/react-datepicker/ I chose this project because datetime selection is a hard problem (localization, internationalization, accessibility, time zones, etc.) that we encounter daily, so a good library could be / can be very helpful.

https://reactdatepicker.com/ I’m a rookie intern and was tasked with theming this to the project / brand I’m working for. I personally recommend this.
