DatePicker from SwiftUI only has two modes (date, and hourAndMinute) which for many cases is not sufficient. Often you need to switch between even more modes. ExtendedDatePicker solves this problem by providing extra modes that SwiftUI doesn't provide out of the box.
| Hour | Date | DateTime | Week | MonthYear | Year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

ExtendedDatePicker is available to be installed in your app via Swift Package Manager using the git url https://github.com/abdullah-original/ExtendedDatePicker.git.
Both a static and a dynamic library are provided.
ExtendedDatePicker(
selectedDate: Binding<Date>,
dateRange: ClosedRange<Date>,
mode: DateMode,
calendar: Calendar,
options: ExtendedDatePickerOptions
)Initialize the date picker as above. If you want to provide a custom locale or timezone, do so via the calendar parameter, otherwise the the default will be used.
In addition, some UI elements (such as back and forward arrows) can be customized using options: ExtendedDatePickerOptions parameter.
The client must provide at least selectedDate, dateRange, mode parameters. selectedDate is the state object that keeps track of currently selected date by user.
Info about date modes:
week: If the user has selected 2-8 February 2024, for example,selectedDatewould be2-2-2024.monthYear: If the user has selected February 2024, for example,selectedDatewould bex-2-2024. No guarantees are made aboutx.year: If the user has selected 2024, for example,selectedDatewould bex-y-2024. No guarantees are made aboutxory.
In monthYear or year mode, client should just extract the relevent component from selectedDate i.e. calendar.component(.year, from: selectedDate).
