Installation

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @kibo-ui/mini-calendar

Requires @kibo-ui in the registries of your components.json (shadcn adds official directory namespaces automatically).

Usage

usage.tsx
import {  MiniCalendar,  MiniCalendarNavigation,  MiniCalendarDays,  MiniCalendarDay,} from "@/components/kibo-ui/mini-calendar";export function Example() {  return (    <MiniCalendar>      <MiniCalendarNavigation direction="prev" aria-label="Previous days" />      <MiniCalendarDays>        {(date) => <MiniCalendarDay key={date.toISOString()} date={date} />}      </MiniCalendarDays>      <MiniCalendarNavigation direction="next" aria-label="Next days" />    </MiniCalendar>  );}
  • Date pickers focused on a short range of consecutive dates near today.
  • Dashboards, booking flows, scheduling interfaces, and filters where a full calendar is excessive.
  • Interfaces that need custom rendering or layout for navigation and individual date cells.
  • Compact responsive controls for selecting one date from a configurable number of days.

Examples

Controlled selected date

Use value and onValueChange when the selected date is managed by a parent component.

controlled-selected-date.tsx
import { useState } from "react";import {  MiniCalendar,  MiniCalendarNavigation,  MiniCalendarDays,  MiniCalendarDay,} from "@/components/kibo-ui/mini-calendar";export function ControlledCalendar() {  const [date, setDate] = useState<Date>();  return (    <MiniCalendar value={date} onValueChange={setDate}>      <MiniCalendarNavigation direction="prev" aria-label="Previous days" />      <MiniCalendarDays>        {(day) => <MiniCalendarDay key={day.toISOString()} date={day} />}      </MiniCalendarDays>      <MiniCalendarNavigation direction="next" aria-label="Next days" />    </MiniCalendar>  );}

Seven-day range

Render a full week by changing the number of consecutive dates shown.

seven-day-range.tsx
import {  MiniCalendar,  MiniCalendarNavigation,  MiniCalendarDays,  MiniCalendarDay,} from "@/components/kibo-ui/mini-calendar";export function WeeklyCalendar() {  return (    <MiniCalendar days={7}>      <MiniCalendarNavigation direction="prev" aria-label="Previous week" />      <MiniCalendarDays className="flex-1 justify-center">        {(date) => <MiniCalendarDay key={date.toISOString()} date={date} />}      </MiniCalendarDays>      <MiniCalendarNavigation direction="next" aria-label="Next week" />    </MiniCalendar>  );}

Custom day rendering

Use the render function on MiniCalendarDays to add metadata or custom styling while retaining date selection behavior.

custom-day-rendering.tsx
import { format } from "date-fns";import {  MiniCalendar,  MiniCalendarNavigation,  MiniCalendarDays,  MiniCalendarDay,} from "@/components/kibo-ui/mini-calendar";export function CustomDaysCalendar() {  return (    <MiniCalendar>      <MiniCalendarNavigation direction="prev" aria-label="Previous days" />      <MiniCalendarDays>        {(date) => (          <div key={date.toISOString()} className="flex flex-col items-center">            <MiniCalendarDay date={date} />            <span className="text-[10px] text-muted-foreground">              {format(date, "EEE")}            </span>          </div>        )}      </MiniCalendarDays>      <MiniCalendarNavigation direction="next" aria-label="Next days" />    </MiniCalendar>  );}

Accessibility

  • MiniCalendarDay renders a native button with the month abbreviation and day number as visible text.
  • MiniCalendarNavigation renders a native button by default and supports standard button attributes such as aria-label.
  • The default icon-only navigation buttons do not add an accessible label automatically; provide aria-label or custom children when using them without visible text.
  • When using asChild, ensure the child is an interactive element with an accessible name and supports the forwarded click behavior.
  • The component does not provide keyboard roving focus, disabled-date handling, range selection, or date validation; add those behaviors externally if required.
