Calendar

A calendar component allows users to select a date from a calendar view. It is commonly used for the "date" data entry and provides various customization options to tailor its appearance and behavior to your application's needs.

Key Features

• Value: Calendars have a value that users can use to select a date in MM/DD/YYYY format.
• Label: The label is the text displayed above the calendar, providing context for the date selection.
• Hint: The hint is the text displayed below the calendar, offering additional guidance or information.
• Placeholder: Specify a short hint that describes the expected value of the calendar input.
• Show Today: Enable the "Show Today" switch to display the current date prominently on the calendar.
• Range: The "Range" switch allows users to select a date range between two dates.
• Disabled: When enabled, the "Disabled" switch makes the input text unchangeable.
• Styles: Customize the styles of the calendar to match your application's design.
