Date picker
The date picker component allows merchants to select dates using a calendar interface. Use it when merchants benefit from seeing dates in context of the full month, such as selecting dates relative to today or needing weekday context.
The component supports single dates, multiple dates, and date ranges. For text date entry, use date field.
Date picker supports date selection only — time selection isn't available.

(EventListener & {
(event: CallbackEvent<TTagName, TEvent>): void;
}) | nullCallbackEvent
An event type that narrows the `currentTarget` to the specific HTML element associated with the custom element tag. This provides type-safe event handling in callback listeners.
TEvent & {
currentTarget: HTMLElementTagNameMap[TTagName];

defaultViewto open the calendar to the most relevant month, such as the current or next month. - Restrict invalid dates: Use
disallowwith date ranges anddisallowDayswith day names to prevent customers from selecting unavailable dates. - Choose the right selection mode: Use
type="range"for booking windows and the default single mode for one-off date selections.
