Date Pickers

Date Pickers allow users to enter a date either through text input, or by choosing a date from the calendar.

Used when selecting a single date is needed. This implementation uses the text field component property type “date”.
Used when selecting a preset time period and/or date range is needed.

Date pickers can display past, present, or future dates. They should use sensible defaults based on their context.

  • The start and end dates may be manually entered or edited in the text field.
  • May or may not include a dropdown with preset time periods.
    • If a preset time period is selected, the system displays the corresponding dates in the text input field.
  • The expandable calendar menu includes day, month, and year selections for start and end dates and highlights all dates between them.
  • The calendar closes after an end date is selected.
  • Date pickers are keyboard operable.
  • Always give users the option to enter the date using the text field.
  • For more information, see our accessibility guidelines.
