Textual: DatePicker

A DatePicker widget for textual. It can be used standalone or with a DateSelect opening the dialog.

DateSelect with DatePicker example:

Usage

from textual_datepicker import DateSelect

DateSelect(
  placeholder="please select",
  format="YYYY-MM-DD",
  picker_mount="#main_container"
)

Define an initial value:

import pendulum
from textual_datepicker import DateSelect

DateSelect(
  placeholder="please select",
  format="YYYY-MM-DD",
  date=pendulum.parse("2023-02-14"),
  picker_mount="#main_container"
)

Installation

pip install textual-datepicker

Requires textual 0.6.0 or later.

Limitations

This textual widget is in early stage and has some limitations:

• It can only open below, not above: Make sure to reserve space below for the dialog.
• It needs a specific mount point (picker_mount) where the dialog shall appear. This is needed because the container widget with the select itself could be too small. Maybe in future versions this will no longer be needed.
