Calendar Month

Month grid with direction-aware slide and selected-day spring ring.

Overview

A usable month surface — prev/next slides direction-aware like Step Wizard. Selected day gets a spring ring; today has a subtle mark. Reduced motion skips the slide.

Installation

Use the CLI to install the component automatically:

$ pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add https://ui.sanjid.in/r/calendar-month.json

Install dependencies:

$ pnpm add motion lucide-react

Add the utility function for class merging:

lib/utils.ts
tsx
import { ClassValue, clsx } from "clsx";import { twMerge } from "tailwind-merge";
export function cn(...inputs: ClassValue[]) {  return twMerge(clsx(inputs));}

Copy the component code into your project:

components/ui/calendar-month.tsx
tsx
"use client";

Adjust import paths according to your folder structure.

Basic Usage

tsx
import { CalendarMonth } from "@/components/ui/calendar-month";
<CalendarMonth value={date} onChange={setDate} min={today} />

Props

PropTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
valueDateNo—Controlled selected day.
onChange(date: Date) => voidNo—Fires when a day is picked.
minDateNo—Disable days before this date.
maxDateNo—Disable days after this date.

Best Practices

  1. Normalize to start-of-day before comparing with your data layer.
  2. Pair with a text field for typed dates; this is the visual pick surface.
  3. Don’t animate month changes under reduced motion — opacity only.
