Calendar with Natural Language in Dialog for Solid

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

UI library: Ark UI

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 Solid, Ark UI does not understand a written date.

Today, Tomorrow, In 3 days, In a week, In 2 weeks and In a month. Each date is today.add with days, weeks or months. today is parseDate(new Date()).

What happens when a shortcut is chosen?

Each shortcut is a CalendarPresetTrigger with that date as value, on a Button through asChild. The trigger sits inside Calendar, so choosing it selects that date.
