Ant Design <DatePicker /> with native Date and date-fns

README.md

Native Date DatePicker component for Ant.Design

Use just like the regular DatePicker. Currently only uses a fixed locale.

Hey, thanks for this 🙏 Did you ever make one with locale switchable on runtime?

Is there no way to pass locale dynamically to ant.design DatePicker on runtime?

There are switching to DayJS with antd v5 - maybe that will solve all the problems.
ant-design/ant-design#33862

@thomastvedt For some reason your solution made my bundle grow by nearly 1MB even though I only added 2 languages.
It seems that dateFnsGenerateConfig is to blame.

The solutions above have a serious drawback - when entering an invalid date (for example, if you type a space in input field), the DatePicker crashes with the entire app.

We can fix this by referencing antd implementation: https://github.com/react-component/picker/blob/master/src/generate/dateFns.ts.

We can also modify the locale field so that the picker explicitly works with a specific locale:

import generatePicker from 'antd/lib/date-picker/generatePicker'

import type { GenerateConfig } from 'rc-picker/lib/generate'
import config from 'rc-picker/lib/generate/dateFns'

import {
  isValid,
  getWeek,
  startOfWeek,
  format as formatDate,
  parse as parseDate
} from 'date-fns'
import { ru } from 'date-fns/locale'

const localeParse = (format: string) => {
  return format
    .replace(/Y/g, 'y')
    .replace(/D/g, 'd')
    .replace(/gggg/, 'yyyy')
    .replace(/g/g, 'G')
    .replace(/([Ww])o/g, 'wo')
}

const locale: GenerateConfig<Date>['locale'] = {
  getWeekFirstDay: () => {
    const clone = ru

    return clone.options?.weekStartsOn ?? 1
  },
  getWeekFirstDate: (locale, date) => {
    return startOfWeek(date, { locale: ru })
  },
  getWeek: (locale, date) => {
    return getWeek(date, { locale: ru })
  },
  getShortWeekDays: () => {
    const clone = ru

    return Array.from({ length: 7 }).map((_, i) =>
      clone.localize?.day(i, { width: 'short' })
    )
  },
  getShortMonths: () => {
    const clone = ru

    return Array.from({ length: 12 }).map((_, i) =>
      clone.localize?.month(i, { width: 'abbreviated' })
    )
  },
  format: (locale, date, format) => {
    if (!isValid(date)) {
      /* eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any */
      return null as any
    }

    return formatDate(date, localeParse(format), {
      locale: ru
    })
  },
  parse: (locale, text, formats) => {
    for (let i = 0; i < formats.length; i += 1) {
      const format = localeParse(formats[i])
      const formatText = text
      const date = parseDate(formatText, format, new Date(), {
        locale: ru
      })

      if (isValid(date)) {
        return date
      }
    }

    return null
  }
}

export const DatePicker = generatePicker<Date>({ ...config, locale })
