timescape

A powerful, headless library that elegantly fills the void left by HTML's native `` and ``.

timescape is a toolkit for creating custom date and time input components. It helps you handle date and time data easily while giving you full control over the design and presentation. timescape supports multiple libraries, including React, Vue, Preact, Svelte, Solid, and native JavaScript.

Key features such as accessibility and keyboard navigation are at the core of timescape, allowing you to focus on creating user-centric date and time inputs that integrate seamlessly into your projects.
