Question 1

How to install D2PDatePicker with CocoaPods?

Accepted Answer

Add `pod 'D2PDatePicker'` to your Podfile and run `pod install`. The README confirms it's available through CocoaPods, making setup straightforward for Swift projects.

Question 2

Can D2PDatePicker handle date ranges?

Accepted Answer

No, D2PDatePicker only supports single date selection. For date range picking, you'll need to use alternative libraries or implement custom logic, as this isn't a built-in feature.

Question 3

D2PDatePicker vs UIDatePicker: which is better?

Accepted Answer

D2PDatePicker is better for stylish, customizable designs with smooth animations, while UIDatePicker is ideal for native accessibility, full localization, and no extra dependencies. Choose based on your app's visual and functional needs.

Question 4

How to change the color in D2PDatePicker?

Accepted Answer

Set the `mainColor` property on the D2PDatePicker instance, e.g., `datePickerView.mainColor = .red`. This allows quick customization to match your app's theme, as shown in the example code.

Question 5

Is D2PDatePicker compatible with SwiftUI?

Accepted Answer

Not directly. Since it's built with UIKit, you'd need to wrap it in a UIViewRepresentable for SwiftUI use, which adds complexity compared to using native SwiftUI date pickers.

Question 6

Does D2PDatePicker support localization for different date formats?

Accepted Answer

The README doesn't mention localization features, so it likely relies on default system settings. For apps needing extensive localization, you might need to verify the source code or consider other options.
