Date Filter with Preset Ranges

When building a date filtering UI a date range picker is essential. On top of being able to select custom start and end dates presets can be very helpful and provide a nice productivity boost. A more advanced filtering experience can be created in a couple of steps:

  • Custom popup with an inline calendar - Create a custom popup and place an inline date picker with start/end selection
  • Select with common presets - Populate a dropdown with values like Today, Yesterday, Last week, Last month, Last 7 days, Last 30 days
  • Inputs for typing dates - Adding two inputs next to the range picker enables users to type in a date rather than solely relying on manual selection
  • Make it fully responsive - Use the responsive api to customize the desktop experience - dropdown with inputs for typing - and the mobile experience - touch optimized interface
