Pikaday is a lightweight, dependency-free JavaScript datepicker widget with modular CSS for easy styling. The project was archived in August 2025 after years without active maintenance.
Use cases
- add a date picker to a form input
- lightweight calendar widget without dependencies
- custom-styled datepicker for vanilla JavaScript
- bind a datepicker to a text input field
- format selected dates with Moment.js
When to choose
- you need a tiny (<5kb) dependency-free datepicker for a legacy or framework-free project
- you want full CSS control via modular class names
- you're maintaining an existing codebase that already uses Pikaday
When to avoid
- starting a new project — the repo is archived and unmaintained
- modern browsers where native <input type="date"> suffices
- you use a component framework and want an idiomatic datepicker integration
- you need active bug fixes or accessibility updates
