Calendar as Appointment Picker in Dialog for Solid

A Book Appointment button that opens a calendar beside fourteen time slots, from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM.

UI library: Ark UI

Book Appointment opens a dialog with the same title. A month grid sits beside Available Times, fourteen slots from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM. None is filled until a slot is clicked.

Use it when booking should stay hidden until someone asks. On a booking page, show the same grid without a Dialog. In Solid, Ark UI does not hold the appointment.

FAQ

How do I read the date the person picked?

value is a list holding the selected date, and onValueChange receives { value }. This demo starts the list from parseDate(new Date()).

How does a time slot get selected?

Each time is a Button with that string as value. The click handler stores event.currentTarget.value in selectedTime, and that button uses variant="default" while the others stay outline.

Where does the list of times come from?

The times are a fixed availableTimes array: 9:00 AM through 11:30 AM, then 1:00 PM through 4:30 PM, in 30 minute steps. The date handler only updates the date, so the highlighted time stays until a time button is clicked.

How does the time list scroll?

The times column is w-62, filled by an absolute inset-0 wrapper. ScrollArea has min-h-0 flex-1 under the heading Available Times, so the buttons scroll inside the row.

How is the dialog opened?

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

Does picking a new date clear the time?

The date state and selectedTime are separate. Choosing another day leaves the highlighted time in place until a time button is clicked.
