react-dates VS kbar

react-dates An easily internationalizable, mobile-friendly datepicker library for the web.

`ReactDateRangePicker`, gives it's own date picker to use(see ss: https://i.stack.imgur.com/6mkER.png)

This was the case for Airbnb with the popular react-dates project. They tried out solutions and had to change so much code that, at some point, they decided to build their own. The answer to the question of whether to create a component library is, as always, that it depends.

The nice one I found that could do this is, kbar, and It cool, but I use Svelte not React. Lucky for us Svelte devs, I took on the job to port something similar to Svelte, a package that Is designed to just be plugged and played.

There’s an open source project for this: https://kbar.vercel.app/

There are many command palette implementations in JavaScript. Some are used with specific frameworks. For example, kbar is a React component and spotlight is a Laravel component. I wanted one that would work with Vanilla JavaScript. I identified two candidates:

You can either build a command palette yourself from scratch by using Cmdk or Kbar, or go with the SaaS route (e.g Magny) in case you want something readily baked.

I also added a Cmd+K interface to my site to make mouse-less navigation easier. It’s made using kbar and styles using Tailwind CSS. Here is what it looks like -

With that, there are a few different approaches for adding a command menu to your website: you can use an open source library (like kmenu, cmdk, or kbar), use a proprietary tool such as CommandBar, or build your own. This tutorial focuses on building your own implementation, however you may not need to depending on whether or not you're satisfied with the other options available.
