Upgrading from v7

v8 is a mayor upgrade for DayPicker with new props and styles. We include here a quick reference for helping the upgrade from v7.

v7 is frozen

v7 is frozen and there are no plans for updating it. If you have bugs or feature requests, please consider to upgrade to v8. The legacy documentation for v7 can be found at https://react-day-picker-v7.netlify.app.

How to upgrade to v8​

  1. upgrade the dependency
