React-calendar: TypeScript error with version 3.3.0

[boonware]

Error

Using the sample code from the GitHub README, I receive the following error. I have installed the @types package also since I am using TypeScript.

Type 'Dispatch<SetStateAction<null>>' is not assignable to type 'OnChangeDateCallback'.
  Types of parameters 'value' and 'date' are incompatible.
    Type 'Date | Date[]' is not assignable to type 'SetStateAction<null>'.
      Type 'Date' is not assignable to type 'SetStateAction<null>'.
        Type 'Date' provides no match for the signature '(prevState: null): null'.  TS2322

    10 |     return (
    11 |         <div>
  > 12 |             <Calendar value={selectedDate} onChange={setSelectedDate} />
       |                                            ^
    13 |         </div>
    14 |     );
    15 | };

Code

My JSX snippet is:

 const [selectedDate, setSelectedDate] = useState(null);

    return (
        <div>
            <Calendar value={selectedDate} onChange={setSelectedDate} />
        </div>
    );

Same error is observed even is I use default new Date for useState hook.

I'm also facing same issue, any solution ?

As this error is in community-powered @types repo, there's nothing we can do here on React-Calendar side.

One possible solution meanwhile is to put it inside an arrow function.

You must type your state like the onChange callback : Date | Date[].
In your case, you use too a null value.

const [selectedDate, setSelectedDate] = useState<Date | Date[] | null>(null);
