## Date picker

<Badge color="blue">v1.0.0</Badge> | [View in Storybook](https://master--695bb4b1b8041ae09768950a.chromatic.com/?path=/docs/primitives-datepicker--docs)

Select a single date such as 10/06/2025. Part of the [Date and time picker](/aura-design-system/primitives/date-and-time-picker) family; display and parsing respect the user's locale.

### When to use

* Scheduling, deadlines, date of birth, or any input where a formatted date is required.
* Filtering or reporting by a specific day when time is not relevant.

### When to use something else

* When time matters, use [Time picker](/aura-design-system/primitives/time-picker) or a combined date time picker via [Date and time picker](/aura-design-system/primitives/date-and-time-picker).
* For a date range, use [Date range picker](/aura-design-system/primitives/date-range-picker).

### Behavior

* Opening the control reveals a calendar UI anchored to the field; choosing a date commits it in the configured locale format.
* Set min and max constraints when the valid range is known.

### Often used with

* [Label](/aura-design-system/primitives/label), [Helper text](/aura-design-system/primitives/helper-text), [Date range picker](/aura-design-system/primitives/date-range-picker).
