flatpickr is a lightweight, dependency-free JavaScript datetime picker library for web forms, supporting date, time, range, and multiple-date selection. It ships with 51 locales, multiple themes, a plugin system, and wrappers for frameworks like React, Angular, Vue, and Ember.

Use cases

• add a date picker to an html form
• javascript datetime picker with no jquery dependencies
• let users select a date range in a web app
• time-only picker input for scheduling forms
• localized calendar picker supporting many languages
• disable specific dates or ranges in a datepicker
• lightweight calendar widget for vanilla js or a bundler setup

When to choose

• You need a small, dependency-free date/time picker that works in plain JavaScript or any framework
• You need range selection, multiple dates, or time picking in a single compact library
• You need broad locale support and polished themes out of the box

When to avoid

• You need a full calendar or scheduling application rather than an input widget
• You are building a native mobile app and want platform-native date pickers
• Your UI framework already provides a date picker that matches your design system
