Installation

Quick Start

Simple Mode (Single Event Type)

import streamlit as st
from streamlit_date_events import date_input_with_events
from datetime import date, timedelta

# Define some event dates
today = date.today()
events = [
    today,
    today + timedelta(days=3),
    today + timedelta(days=7),
    today + timedelta(days=14),
]

# Use the component
selected_date = date_input_with_events(
    label="Select a date",
    value=today,
    event_dates=events,
    event_color="#FF4B4B",  # Streamlit red
)

if selected_date:
    st.write(f"You selected: {selected_date}")
    if selected_date in events:
        st.success("This date has an event! 🎉")

Advanced Mode (Multiple Event Types)

import streamlit as st
from streamlit_date_events import date_input_with_events
from datetime import date, timedelta

today = date.today()

# Define multiple event types
event_types = {
    'meetings': {
        'dates': [today + timedelta(days=2), today + timedelta(days=7)],
        'color': '#FF4B4B',
        'label': 'Team Meetings'
    },
    'deadlines': {
        'dates': [today + timedelta(days=5), today + timedelta(days=12)],
        'color': '#FFA500',
        'label': 'Project Deadlines'
    },
    'holidays': {
        'dates': [today + timedelta(days=10)],

}

selected_date = date_input_with_events(

    value=today,
    event_types=event_types,
    show_legend=True,
    mode="dropdown",  # or "inline"
)

if selected_date:
    st.write(f"Selected: {selected_date}")

Display Modes

Inline Mode (Default)

Calendar is always visible - best for single-purpose pages.

selected = date_input_with_events(
    label="Pick a date",
    mode="inline"
)

Dropdown Mode

Calendar opens on click - saves space on the page.

selected = date_input_with_events(
    label="Pick a date",
    mode="dropdown"
)

Examples

Booking System

import streamlit as st
from streamlit_date_events import date_input_with_events
from datetime import date

# Booked dates
booked_dates = [
    date(2024, 1, 15),
    date(2024, 1, 20),
    date(2024, 1, 25),
]

booking_date = date_input_with_events(
    label="Select booking date",
    value=date.today(),
    event_dates=booked_dates,
    event_color="#FF0000",
    mode="dropdown",
)

if booking_date:
    if booking_date in booked_dates:
        st.error("❌ This date is already booked")
    else:
        st.success(f"✅ {booking_date} is available!")

Project Timeline

project_timeline = {
    'milestones': {
        'dates': [date(2024, 1, 7), date(2024, 1, 14), date(2024, 1, 21)],
        'color': '#F59E0B',
        'label': 'Milestones'
    },
    'demos': {
        'dates': [date(2024, 1, 6), date(2024, 1, 13), date(2024, 1, 20)],
        'color': '#3B82F6',

    }
}

selected = date_input_with_events(
    label="Project Timeline",
    event_types=project_timeline,
    show_legend=True,
)

Overlapping Events

Dates can have multiple events - they'll show as multiple colored dots with a tooltip on hover.

overlapping = {
    'type1': {
        'dates': [date(2024, 1, 15)],  # Same date
        'color': '#FF4B4B',
        'label': 'Event Type 1'
    },
    'type2': {
        'dates': [date(2024, 1, 15)],  # Same date
        'color': '#00C896',
        'label': 'Event Type 2'
    }
}

selected = date_input_with_events(
    label="Hover to see multiple events",
    event_types=overlapping,
)
