## What it is
React Nice Dates is a responsive, touch-friendly, and modular date picker library for React, built on top of date-fns. It provides DatePicker and DateRangePicker components with calendar popovers, plus lower-level utilities for building custom pickers.

## Use cases
- pick a date in a react form
- select a date range for a booking or report filter
- add a calendar popover to a text input
- build a custom date picker with modular react components
- support touch-friendly date selection on mobile
- internationalize a date picker with date-fns locales

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight, modular date picker for React
- you want full control over input rendering and styling
- your project already uses date-fns
- you need touch-friendly calendar interaction on mobile

## When to avoid
- you need a batteries-included UI kit with pre-styled inputs
- your project does not use React
- you need time-of-day or datetime picking
- you want a library under heavy active development

## Facets
- artifact type: library

- function: ui-components, form-handling, date-time
