Calendar

​

When to use

• Date only: scheduling, deadlines, date of birth, any input where formatted date is irrelevant.
• Date and time together: event scheduling, log entries, anything time-sensitive where both formatted date and time matter.

​

Dos and don’ts

• Do set min and max constraints when the valid range is known — don’t make users discover invalid dates by trial and error.
• Do pre-populate with a sensible default when one exists; an empty date field with no anchor is harder to interact with.
• Do be explicit about timezone when it matters — don’t silently assume local time if users are in different regions.
• Don’t combine date and time if only one is needed — the extra input adds friction without value.
• Don’t use freeform text input as a fallback for mobile — use the native picker or a well-constrained input pattern.

​

Often used with

• Clock when both date and time are required and DateTimePicker.
