Date range picker

A React component in Beamline's Form controls category.

A reporting range: presets on one side and two months on the other (one on a phone); the trigger names the preset in use, and the footer counts the days.

Use it for

  • Dashboard and report ranges with presets like Last 30 days.

Not for

Anatomy

  • label (Field)
  • trigger (field frame: preset name in ink, range in ink-3, calendar icon at inline-end like every picker)
  • panel (m-overlay): presets (chosen = check at inline-end), one or two months, footer (days · range)
  • description / error (Field)

Variants

  • size: sm, md, lg
  • months: 1, 2, auto

States

  • empty
  • preset (checked in the list)
  • custom
  • half chosen (span follows the pointer)
  • open (trigger keeps the field focus edge)
  • invalid
  • disabled (--pui-opacity-disabled)

Keyboard

  • Tab between presets and the grid
  • calendar keys
  • Escape closes

Motion

The panel grows from the trigger. Opens out of its trigger (_shared/overlay.module.css, source morph): the layer starts as the trigger's own box, offset onto it, and grows; the side next to the trigger is there at once so the nearest rows read within the ruled 90 ms, the far side settles by ~200 ms, content fades in over 90 ms; it closes back into the trigger in 180 ms. Until it has grown the press that opened it cannot land on a row. Reduced motion: it appears.
