Cannot get material-ui datepicker to work

For some reason, I cannot get the material-ui datepicker to work. Every time the datepicker is rendered in React, the following error is thrown:

RangeError: Format string contains an unescaped latin alphabet character n

I have created a stackblitz with just the datepicker (https://stackblitz.com/edit/react-6ma6xd?embed=1&file=index.js) and even there the error shows up. What am I doing wrong? I think I followed all the instructions from the installation guide.

Solution

  • I had the same problem, found this in the github issues:

    https://github.com/mui-org/material-ui-pickers/issues/1440 so i installed "@date-io/date-fns": "^1.3.13" and got it working
