React-dates: Implement a method to change more than one month, possibly a year at at time

[avishaan]

Is there a method I could override in order to cause the left and right button so that it changes multiple months (especially when numOfMonths=3) or something similar. I really think that when 3 or more months are showing we should consider skipping 2 months at a time or at least have an option for such

25 covers year navigation; I think N months at a time (where N is the number of months displayed at a time) is a separate feature.

This would be a cool feature, but we'd have to explore how animations would work as well as the possible performance implications.

Right now, the way we transition one month at a time is by having a hidden month before and after the visible ones that slide into place when you hit next/prev month. We could conceivably have more than just one month hidden there. Or even, only show the month when the transition is about to happen. Hmmmm 🤔

I do think that actually you make a fair point and maybe the number of months we transition should maybe be numberOfMonths - 1 or even customizable (but probably still capped by numberOfMonths).

Trying to use the SingleDatePicker for a birthday input. It would be crazy to have people have to page through monthly in order to get back 30+ years. Any suggestions?

I've encounter the same issue and so implement year selection with renderMonth. it looks like
not sure if this helps, but works for me.

@zebram , how do you handle the change when a user selects a month from the dropdown?
