How to get the date between the from date and to date?


I'm working on DayPicker to get all the range dates, but I couldn't have any good idea of knowing the dates between the start date and end date.

import { DateRange, DayPicker } from 'react-day-picker'

const [range, setRange] = useState<DateRange | undefined>()

useEffect(() => {
  if(range && range.from && range.to) {
    console.log('range.from', range.from)
    console.log('range.to', range.to)
    // range.from Mon Aug 01 2022 00:00:00 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)
    // range.to Sat Aug 06 2022 00:00:00 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)
    // I want get 8/1, 8/2, 8/3, 8/4, 8/5 as string data
  }
}, [range])


return (
  <DayPicker
    mode="range"
    defaultMonth={new Date()}
    selected={range}
    onSelect={setRange}
  />
)

Solution

  • Use date-fns and create a function.

      const getDatesInRange = (startDate: Date, numberOfDays: number) => {
        const dates: Date[] = [];
    
        [...Array(numberOfDays + 1)].forEach((_, i) => {
          dates.push(addDays(startDate, i));
        });
        console.log(dates); // For debugging purposes
        return dates;
      };
    

    Add an array state const [dateRangeArray, setDateRangeArray] = useState<Date[]>(); and and we update the useEffect.

    Here is the full code:

    import { addDays, differenceInDays } from 'date-fns';
    
    
    // inside the component
      const [range, setRange] = useState<DateRange | undefined>();
      const [dateRangeArray, setDateRangeArray] = useState<Date[]>();
    
      const getDatesInRange = (startDate: Date, numberOfDays: number) => {
        const dates: Date[] = [];
    
        [...Array(numberOfDays + 1)].forEach((_, i) => {
          dates.push(addDays(startDate, i));
        });
        console.log(dates); // For debugging purposes
        return dates;
      };
    
      useEffect(() => {
        if (range && range.to && range.from && dateRangeArray === undefined) {
          let daysDiff = differenceInDays(range.to, range?.from);
          setDateRangeArray(getDatesInRange(range.from, daysDiff));
        }
        if (range && range.from && range.to) {
          console.log('range.from', range.from);
          console.log('range.to', range.to);
          // range.from Mon Aug 01 2022 00:00:00 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)
          // range.to Sat Aug 06 2022 00:00:00 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)
          // I want get 8/1, 8/2, 8/3, 8/4, 8/5 as string data
        }
      }, [range]);
    
      return (
        <div>
          <DayPicker mode='range' defaultMonth={new Date()} selected={range} onSelect={setRange} />
        </div>
      );
