I am looking for a way to make the Calendar Component highlight or indicate todays date. The same functionality that is present in the day and week views would be fine.
I read through the docs, but it appears that todays date is built in. At least I can't find a place to set it. I did set the default date to today, but that had no effect. Is there a way to accomplish this?
I am using the calendar component to display upcoming shipping information. The default view that we are used to using is the month view. We are on the cloud.
In Retool's calendar, you can set specific dates and times for particular events. This allows you to schedule events in your calendar according to your preferences.
To display today's date, you can use the following calendar input:
I appreciate the attempt at trying to solve my problem @ZeroCodez. I didn't initially understand your answer so it took me some time to respond. Unfortunately, my question must have been confusing because your answer doesn't seem to fit my needs.
I am using the Calendar Component. My users navigate to this page to review the schedule. When they do, I need the Calendar Component to indicate todays date.
I see that the calendar input component highlights todays date by default, but that doesn't help me. I need the calendar component to do that.
I understand what you're saying, but I don't think the calendar component provides that functionality. It only highlights dates based on events. You can add the event in it and pass the today date in it.
I am looking for a the same functionality i believe. I would think in any basic calendar, todays date is indicated somehow. However, on retool calendar you can't tell what todays date is
Hi @Adam_Baney, welcome to the forum!
We created the internal feature request to highlight today's date on the Calendar component the same way this is possible on the Calendar Input component. We'll update you here with any news from our devs.
