}}
>
Clear
</button>
</div>
);
}
Themes
Please import themes directly from the flatpickr
dependency.
Troubleshooting
Help, the Date Picker doesn't have any styling!
In most cases, you should just be able to
import 'flatpickr/dist/themes/airbnb.css'
, but in some cases npm or yarn may installflatpickr
innode_modules/react-flatpickr/node_modules/flatpickr
. If that happens, removing yournode_modules
dir and reinstalling should put flatpickr in the rootnode_modules
dir, or you can import fromreact-flatpickr/node_modules/flatpickr
manually.
