Calendar with Natural Language in Dialog for React

A Select Date button that opens a calendar beside Today, Tomorrow, In 3 days, In a week, In 2 weeks, and In a month.

Select Date opens a dialog with that title. A month grid sits beside Quick Select: Today, Tomorrow, In 3 days, In a week, In 2 weeks, and In a month. The buttons pick a day. They do not parse typed text.

Use it when a shortcut list should stay out of the page until needed. Show the list inline if people pick dates all day. A Date Picker is the field version. In React, Base UI does not understand a written date.

FAQ

Which shortcuts are in the list?

Today, Tomorrow, In 3 days, In a week, In 2 weeks and In a month. fromToday adds the days or months onto today's year, month and date.

What happens when a shortcut is chosen?

Each shortcut is a Button whose value is its label. The click finds that shortcut, then sets selected and month so the grid shows the date.

How do I read the selected date?

mode="single" makes selected one date and onSelect the setter. This demo stores that date in state, starting from new Date().

How does the shortcut list scroll?

The list column is w-62, filled by an absolute inset-0 wrapper. ScrollArea has min-h-0 flex-1 under the heading Quick Select.

How is the dialog opened?

DialogTrigger is a button reading Select Date. It opens DialogContent with sm:max-w-fit, and DialogTitle reads Select Date.

How are the shortcut buttons styled?

Every shortcut Button uses size="sm" and variant="outline". The heading above them is the text Quick Select.
