Using react-dates with Typescript

Question

I am trying to use react-dates with Typescript, but cannot figure out how to define the types.

The following TS/React code is giving the error

Argument of type '"startDate" | "endDate" | null' is not assignable to parameter of type 'SetStateAction'. Type '"startDate"' is not assignable to type 'SetStateAction'.

My code is based on this, is there a simplier way to write this code? Thank you!

import React, { useState } from 'react';

import moment from 'moment';
import "react-dates/initialize";
import "react-dates/lib/css/_datepicker.css";
import { DateRangePicker } from 'react-dates';

interface IHandleDatesChange {
    startDate: moment.Moment | null,
    endDate: moment.Moment | null,
}

export function Foo(): JSX.Element {
    const [ startDate, setStartDate ] = useState<moment.Moment | null>(moment('1990-01-01'));
    const [ endDate, setEndDate ] = useState<moment.Moment | null>(moment(moment().endOf('year')));
    const [ focusedInput, setFocusedInput ] = useState(null);

    const handleDatesChange = ({ startDate, endDate}: IHandleDatesChange) => {
        setStartDate(startDate);
        setEndDate(endDate);
    }

    return (
        <DateRangePicker
            startDate={startDate}
            startDateId='daterangepicker_start_date'
            endDate={endDate}
            endDateId='daterangepicker_end_date'
            onDatesChange={handleDatesChange}
            focusedInput={focusedInput}
            onFocusChange={(focusedInput) => setFocusedInput(focusedInput)}   // <== ERROR OCCURS
        />
    )
}

yarn.lock

Edit:

You haven't passed a type to your focusedInput state. If you check the @types/react-dates definitions, the onFocusChange prop expects the callback argument to be a specific type: FocusedInputShape which is a string union 'startDate' | 'endDate'.

To fix, update your state init:

const [ focusedInput, setFocusedInput ] = useState<FocusedInputShape | null>(null);

Original answer:

I seem to recall hitting this issue (or very similar) before and it turned out to be a moment version mismatch between the dependency installed in my project and the dependency installed by react-dates.

Check which versions are installed and if they do not match, up-/down-grade your project version if you can to see if it makes a difference.

I've updated the question with the versions of moment and react-dates. Do you happen to recall the versions that you used when it worked for you?

I don't remember off the top of my head but will check if I can find the old project. Is moment a dependency on your project? I would suggest ensuring you use the exact version listed in the react-dates deps (2.29.1) and see if it helps at all. The community typings @types/react-dates also use a different version 2.26.0 which isn't ideal.

Thanks! Yes [email protected] is a dependency of my project. I have tried downgrading to @types/[email protected] while maintaining [email protected], still getting the same error. Wonder if there's something wrong with my Typescript code...

Did you solve this in the end? I think I've spotted the actual issue and it's not conflicting versions of moment - you need to pass a type to your focusedInput state. I'll update my answer with a suggested fix.

Here is how I got the basic example to work with TS.

import React, { ReactNode, useState } from 'react'
import moment, { Moment } from 'moment'
import 'react-dates/initialize'
import 'react-dates/lib/css/_datepicker.css'
import { DateRangePicker, FocusedInputShape } from 'react-dates'

const Calendar = () => {
  const [startDate, setStartDate] = useState<Moment | null>(moment())
  const [endDate, setEndDate] = useState<Moment | null>(null)
  const [focusedInput, setFocusedInput] = useState<FocusedInputShape | null>(
    null
  )

  const handlendDatesChange = (arg: {
    startDate: Moment | null
    endDate: Moment | null
  }) => {
    setStartDate(arg.startDate)
    setEndDate(arg.endDate)
  }

  const handleFocusChange = (arg: FocusedInputShape | null) => {
    setFocusedInput(arg)
  }

  return (
    <DateRangePicker
      /**
       * Tip for who is new to TS: You can view the type definition on hover in VSCode.
       * You can use these types on their respective useState and function.
       */
      startDate={startDate} // moment.Moment | null;
      startDateId="your_unique_start_date_id" // moment.Moment | null;
      endDate={endDate} // momentPropTypes.momentObj or null,
      endDateId="your_unique_end_date_id" // string;
      onDatesChange={handlendDatesChange} // (arg: { startDate: moment.Moment | null; endDate: moment.Moment | null }) => void;
      focusedInput={focusedInput} // FocusedInputShape | null;
      onFocusChange={handleFocusChange} // (arg: FocusedInputShape | null) => void;
    />
  )
}

export default Calendar
