Setting the default startDate and endDate properties for react-dates

Setting default values for startDate and endDate for the react-dates component breaks the component with the error below:

My react version: "react": "^16.5.2" "react-dates": "^18.1.0"

Component code: 

import React from 'react'

import 'react-dates/initialize';
import { DateRangePicker } from 'react-dates';
import 'react-dates/lib/css/_datepicker.css';

class DateRangeSelector extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);

    this.state = {
      startDate: moment().subtract(2, 'year'),
      endDate: moment(),
      // focusedInput: 'startDate'
    }

  }

  render() {

    return (

      <DateRangePicker
        startDate={this.state.startDate} // momentPropTypes.momentObj or null,
        startDateId={this.props.startDateInputId} // PropTypes.string.isRequired,
        endDate={this.state.endDate} // momentPropTypes.momentObj or null,
        endDateId={this.props.endDateInputId} // PropTypes.string.isRequired,
        onDatesChange={({ startDate, endDate }) => this.setState({ startDate, endDate })}
        isOutsideRange={() => false}
        focusedInput={this.state.focusedInput} // PropTypes.oneOf([START_DATE, END_DATE]) or null,            
        onFocusChange={focusedInput => this.setState({ focusedInput })} // PropTypes.func.isRequired,
      />


    )

  }

}

DateRangeSelector.defaultProps = {
  startDateInputId: 'start-date-field',
  endDateInputId: 'end-date-field',
}

export default DateRangeSelector

Solution

  • I was able to follow the docs and got it to work. Try utilizing React state instead of defaultProps. Please note, that there's some CSS jank going on with the module.

    Working example:

    Edit React Dates Example

    components/DateRangeSelector/index.js

    import React, { Component } from "react";
import { DateRangePicker } from "react-dates";
import moment from "moment";
import "./styles.css";

class DateRangeSelector extends Component {
  state = {
    startDate: moment().subtract(2, "year"),
    endDate: moment(),
    focusedInput: null
  };

  handleDateChange = ({ startDate, endDate }) =>
    this.setState({ startDate, endDate });

  handleFocusChange = focusedInput => this.setState({ focusedInput });

  render = () => (
    <DateRangePicker
      endDate={this.state.endDate}
      endDateId="endDate"
      focusedInput={this.state.focusedInput}
      isOutsideRange={() => null}
      onDatesChange={this.handleDateChange}
      onFocusChange={this.handleFocusChange}
      startDate={this.state.startDate}
      startDateId="startDate"
    />
  );
}

export default DateRangeSelector;

    index.js

    import React from "react";
import { render } from "react-dom";
import DateRangeSelector from "./components/DateRangeSelector";
import "react-dates/initialize";
import "react-dates/lib/css/_datepicker.css";
import "./styles.css";

const App = () => (
  <div className="app">
    <h2>Date Range Picker</h2>
    <DateRangeSelector />
  </div>
);

render(<App />, document.getElementById("root"));

    components/DateRangeSelector/styles.css

    .DateRangePickerInput_arrow {
  width: 40px;
}

.DateInput_input {
  cursor: pointer;
}

    styles.css

    .app {
  font-family: sans-serif;
  text-align: center;
}

* {
  box-sizing: border-box;
}
