React Bootstrap date picker is a plugin that adds the function of selecting time without the necessity of using custom JavaScript code.

Basic example 

        
            
          import React from 'react';
          import { MDBDatePicker } from 'mdbreact';
  
          class DatePickerPage extends React.Component  {
            getPickerValue = (value) => {
              console.log(value);
            }
  
            render() {
              return(
                <div>
                  <MDBDatePicker getValue={this.getPickerValue} />
                </div>
              );
            }
          };
  
          export default DatePickerPage;

Translations

The picker can be extended to add support for internationalization. We use moment.locale to change language.

        
            
            import React from 'react';
            import { MDBDatePicker } from 'mdbreact';
  
            import moment from 'moment';
            import 'moment/locale/fr';
  
            class DatePickerPage extends React.Component  {
              getPickerValue = (value) => {
                console.log(value);
              }
  
              render() {
                return(
                  <div>
                    <MDBDatePicker cancelLabel="Effacer" locale={moment.locale('fr')} getValue={this.getPickerValue} />
                  </div>
                );
              }
            };
  
            export default DatePickerPage;
