React-datepicker styled with Tailwind CSS. Not a package.
Overview
This product analysis explores a code snippet shared to demonstrate how to create a datepicker in React using react-datepicker and style it with Tailwind CSS. The code snippet was created due to the lack of a datepicker for Headless UI at the time, as well as the absence of documentation on integrating popular React datepicker libraries with Tailwind CSS. The author, in the absence of ready-made solutions, manually styled the datepicker by inspecting classes in the Chrome devtools. The code snippet serves as a reference for others looking to implement a similar solution in their projects.
