# Custom Date Picker — Implementation Plan

> **For Claude:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.

**Goal:** Replace the native HTML date input with a fully custom calendar widget that matches the app's dark OKLCH theme.

**Architecture:** Create a new `CalendarPopover` component (calendar grid + month/year selectors + footer) using date-fns for date math and Radix Popover for positioning. Rewrite `DueDatePicker` to use it instead of `<input type="date">`. No new dependencies.

**Tech Stack:** React 19, TypeScript, date-fns v4, Framer Motion 12, Tailwind 4, Radix Popover

### Task 1: Create CalendarPopover component

**Files:**
- Create: `src/components/card-detail/CalendarPopover.tsx`

**Step 1: Create the file with the complete component**

Create `src/components/card-detail/CalendarPopover.tsx` with:

```tsx
import { useState, useMemo } from "react";
import { AnimatePresence, motion } from "framer-motion";
import { ChevronLeft, ChevronRight } from "lucide-react";
import {
  startOfMonth,
  endOfMonth,
  startOfWeek,
  endOfWeek,
  eachDayOfInterval,
  format,
  isSameDay,
  isSameMonth,
  isToday as isTodayFn,
  isPast,
  addMonths,
  subMonths,
  setMonth,
  setYear,
  getYear,
  getMonth,
} from "date-fns";
import {
  Popover,
  PopoverContent,
  PopoverTrigger,
} from "@/components/ui/popover";
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button";
import { springs } from "@/lib/motion";

interface CalendarPopoverProps {
  selectedDate: Date | null;
  onSelect: (date: Date) => void;
  onClear: () => void;
  children: React.ReactNode;
}

type ViewMode = "days" | "months" | "years";

const MONTH_NAMES = [

  "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec",

const WEEKDAYS = ["Mo", "Tu", "We", "Th", "Fr", "Sa", "Su"];

export function CalendarPopover({
  selectedDate,
  onSelect,
  onClear,
  children,
}: CalendarPopoverProps) {
  const [open, setOpen] = useState(false);
  const [viewDate, setViewDate] = useState(() => selectedDate ?? new Date());
  const [viewMode, setViewMode] = useState<ViewMode>("days");

  // Reset view when opening
  function handleOpenChange(nextOpen: boolean) {
    if (nextOpen) {
      setViewDate(selectedDate ?? new Date());
      setViewMode("days");
    }
    setOpen(nextOpen);
  }

  function handleSelectDate(date: Date) {
    onSelect(date);
    setOpen(false);
  }

  function handleToday() {
    const today = new Date();
    onSelect(today);
    setOpen(false);
  }

  function handleClear() {
    onClear();
    setOpen(false);
  }

  // Build the 6×7 grid of days for the current viewDate month
  const calendarDays = useMemo(() => {
    const monthStart = startOfMonth(viewDate);
    const monthEnd = endOfMonth(viewDate);
    const gridStart = startOfWeek(monthStart, { weekStartsOn: 1 }); // Monday
    const gridEnd = endOfWeek(monthEnd, { weekStartsOn: 1 });
    return eachDayOfInterval({ start: gridStart, end: gridEnd });
  }, [viewDate]);

  // Year range for year selector: current year ± 5
  const yearRange = useMemo(() => {
    const center = getYear(viewDate);
    const years: number[] = [];
    for (let y = center - 5; y <= center + 5; y++) {
      years.push(y);
    }
    return years;
  }, [viewDate]);

### Task 2: Rewrite DueDatePicker to use CalendarPopover

**Files:**
- Modify: `src/components/card-detail/DueDatePicker.tsx` (full rewrite)

**Step 1: Replace the entire file**

Replace `src/components/card-detail/DueDatePicker.tsx` with:

```tsx
import { format, formatDistanceToNow, isPast, isToday } from "date-fns";
import { X } from "lucide-react";
import { useBoardStore } from "@/stores/board-store";
import { CalendarPopover } from "@/components/card-detail/CalendarPopover";

interface DueDatePickerProps {
  cardId: string;
  dueDate: string | null;
}

export function DueDatePicker({ cardId, dueDate }: DueDatePickerProps) {
  const updateCard = useBoardStore((s) => s.updateCard);

  const dateObj = dueDate ? new Date(dueDate) : null;
  const overdue = dateObj != null && isPast(dateObj) && !isToday(dateObj);

  function handleSelect(date: Date) {
    updateCard(cardId, { dueDate: format(date, "yyyy-MM-dd") });
  }

  function handleClear() {
    updateCard(cardId, { dueDate: null });
  }

  return (
    <div className="flex flex-col gap-2">
      {/* Header with clear button */}
      <div className="flex items-center justify-between">
        <h4 className="font-mono text-xs uppercase tracking-widest text-pylon-text-secondary">
          Due Date
        </h4>
        {dueDate && (

            className="rounded p-0.5 text-pylon-text-secondary transition-colors hover:bg-pylon-danger/10 hover:text-pylon-danger"
            aria-label="Clear due date"
          >
            <X className="size-3.5" />
          </button>
        )}
      </div>

      {/* Clickable date display → opens calendar */}
      <CalendarPopover
        selectedDate={dateObj}
        onSelect={handleSelect}
        onClear={handleClear}
      >
        <button className="flex w-full items-center gap-2 rounded-md px-1 py-1 text-left transition-colors hover:bg-pylon-column/60">

              >
                {format(dateObj, "MMM d, yyyy")}
              </span>
              <span
                className={`text-xs ${
                  overdue ? "text-pylon-danger" : "text-pylon-text-secondary"
                }`}
              >
                {overdue
                  ? `overdue by ${formatDistanceToNow(dateObj)}`
                  : isToday(dateObj)

            </>
          ) : (
            <span className="text-sm italic text-pylon-text-secondary/60">
              Click to set date...
            </span>
          )}
        </button>
      </CalendarPopover>
    </div>
  );
}
```

**Step 2: Verify TypeScript compiles**

Run: `npx tsc --noEmit`
Expected: No errors

**Step 3: Commit**

```bash
git add src/components/card-detail/DueDatePicker.tsx
git commit -m "feat: rewrite DueDatePicker to use custom CalendarPopover"
```

---

### Task 3: Visual verification and final commit

**Step 1: Run TypeScript check**

Run: `npx tsc --noEmit`
Expected: No errors

**Step 2: Run the dev server**

Run: `npx tauri dev`

Verify:
- Open a card → Due Date cell shows "Click to set date..." or the current date
- Click the cell → calendar popover appears below
- Calendar shows correct month with today highlighted (ring)
- Click a date → it's selected (filled accent), popover closes, cell shows formatted date
- Click month name → month selector grid appears, click a month → returns to days
- Click year → year selector grid appears, click a year → returns to days
- Left/right arrows navigate months
- "Today" button selects today and closes
- "Clear" button in popover footer removes the date and closes
- × button in cell header clears the date without opening calendar
- Past dates are dimmed but clickable
- Overdue dates show in red

**Step 3: Commit**

```bash
git add -A
git commit -m "feat: custom date picker with calendar popover complete"
```
