Question 1

How do I change the selected day color in DraggableCalendar?

Accepted Answer

Use props like selectedDayTextStyle and selectedDayContainerStyle to customize colors, as shown in the CustomizationDemo example where styles are defined in a StyleSheet for selected states.

Question 2

Can I use DraggableCalendar with Expo without ejecting?

Accepted Answer

The README doesn't specify Expo compatibility; if the library requires native linking, Expo users might need to eject or check for alternative solutions, as installation uses standard React Native commands.

Question 3

DraggableCalendar vs react-native-calendars: which is better for range selection?

Accepted Answer

DraggableCalendar specializes in drag-to-select ranges with a unique interaction model, while react-native-calendars offers broader calendar views but may require more setup for drag-based selection, so choose based on interaction priority.

Question 4

How to disable specific dates in DraggableCalendar?

Accepted Answer

Use the availableDateRange prop to restrict selectable periods, but for individual date disabling, implement custom logic in renderDay using the available field or status to mark dates as non-selectable.

Question 5

Does DraggableCalendar support time zones or different calendar systems?

Accepted Answer

No built-in support is mentioned; it uses JavaScript Date objects, so developers must handle time zones or calendar conversions externally, which can add complexity for international apps.

Question 6

How to get the selected date range programmatically?

Accepted Answer

Call the getSelection method via a component ref, as demonstrated in the BasicUsageDemo where a button press logs the selection using this._calendar.getSelection().

Question 7

Is there a way to limit selection to weekdays only?

Accepted Answer

Not directly supported; you would need to add custom logic, such as checking the day of the week in renderDay or filtering availableDateRange, which requires additional code and testing.
