RSDayFlow
iOS 12+ calendar date picker with infinite scrolling, requiring only 4 lines of code to set up.
What is RSDayFlow?
RSDayFlow is an open-source iOS calendar component that provides infinite scrolling date selection with native iOS 7 design aesthetics. It solves the problem of implementing a smooth, visually consistent date picker in iOS applications with minimal code. The library offers delegate and data source protocols for customization while maintaining a lightweight footprint.
iOS developers building applications that require date selection functionality, particularly those who need infinite scrolling calendars with native iOS design integration.
Developers choose RSDayFlow for its simplicity (4-line setup), native iOS 7 design consistency, and infinite scrolling capability that eliminates month boundary limitations found in standard date pickers.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Only 4 lines of code needed for basic implementation, as demonstrated in the Basic Usage section with RSDFDatePickerView initialization.
Provides smooth, continuous date navigation without month boundaries, a core feature highlighted in the project description.
Designed to match iOS 7, ensuring a consistent look with older iOS versions, as stated in the philosophy and key features.
Allows marking specific dates with custom colors and images via data source methods like datePickerView:markImageForDate:, shown in the README examples.
Cons
iOS 7-centric aesthetics may not integrate well with modern iOS interfaces post-iOS 13, requiring extra customization for contemporary app standards.
Relies on UIKit, making it less straightforward for SwiftUI-native projects without additional bridging code or compatibility layers.
README lacks comprehensive guides, only covering basic usage and delegate methods, with no advanced tutorials or troubleshooting resources.
