Calendar.
Choose a date with a familiar grid.
React Aria owns date navigation, selection, bounds, unavailable dates and calendar systems. Root retains typed date values and render callbacks; Grid and Cell retain collection relationships. Use LocaleProvider for an explicit locale and match the intended writing direction.

UsageImport the stylesheet once at your application root. This complete example reflects the properties selected above.

The finer details
API referenceGenerated from Dixy’s local TypeScript interfaces. React Aria props, refs and render callbacks are forwarded; this table covers Dixy’s added visual options.

Built from the same foundations
Styling tokensChange Theme settings above to compare appearance, accent, neutral, radius, spacing density, motion and direction. Override component aliases on a Theme root so custom properties follow portaled content too. The wrapper merges className, style, refs and render composition with its owning primitive.
| Token | Purpose |
|---|---|
--dixy-color-background-surface | The component-specific starting point. |
--dixy-font-label-md | Control label font and line height; body roles remain readable in text inputs. |
--dixy-color-background-selected | Selected surfaces use semantic color across appearances. |
--dixy-color-border-focus | Focus indication remains visible independently of shadows. |
--dixy-spacing-inset-sm | Density-aware component padding. |
--dixy-motion-transition-feedback | Short state feedback, reduced by the inherited motion setting. |
Consider everyone
AccessibilityProvide visible labels and meaningful names. Preserve native semantics, selected/disabled state and visible focus. Target WCAG 2.2 AA; full contrast, assistive-technology and platform verification remains pending.
Target: WCAG 2.2 AA. Automated tests cover selected behavior; manual screen-reader, contrast, and zoom validation remain part of the release checklist.
