# DatePicker

```gistui
root = Form("booking", Grid(DatePicker("start", "Start date", required), DatePicker("stay", "Stay", range, presets), DatePicker("call", "Kickoff call", time), cols:3))
```

## Signature

This is the line a model reads in the system prompt.

```gistui
DatePicker(name, label, value:any, min:str, max:str, bind:$var, hint:str, error:str, size:Size, required, range, presets, time)
```

- **Group:** Forms
- **Children:** No
- **Positional arguments:** `name`, `label` (a trailing `?` means it may be left out)

## Props

| Prop | Type | How to write it | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| `name` | string | positional, required |  |
| `label` | string | positional, required |  |
| `value` | any | named: `value:…` | "2026-10-01", or [start, end] with range |
| `min` | string | named: `min:…` |  |
| `max` | string | named: `max:…` |  |
| `bind` | `$state` variable | `bind:$name` | two-way binding to a $variable |

| `required` | flag | bare word: `required` |  |
