Guidance on Implementing a Jalali (Persian) Calendar with DatePicker

[mahanfakhimi]

Hi team and community,

I'm currently working on implementing a DatePicker that fully supports the Jalali (Persian) calendar.

For context, I have already submitted a Feature Request on the official website for native support for non-Gregorian calendars, as this would be the ideal long-term solution.

In the meantime, I'm looking for the community's advice on the best current approach to achieve this. My goal is to use a robust library like @internationalized/date for all the calendar logic (which has a PersianCalendar module) and leverage Ark UI's excellent components for the UI and accessibility.

My main question is: What is the recommended way to integrate an external calendar logic library with the DatePicker components?

I've attempted to build a "wrapper" component where I manage the calendar state (e.g., the focused date, the grid of days for the month) myself using signals. However, it feels like I'm fighting against the library's internal state management rather than working with it.

Specifically, I'm wondering about:

1. Is it possible to "provide" my own state or context to DatePicker.Content so that it renders my externally-generated Jalali dates instead of its own Gregorian ones?
2. Are there any examples or community projects that have successfully implemented a similar custom calendar system that I could learn from?

Any guidance, patterns, or code examples on how to best approach this would be incredibly helpful.

Thank you!

This is something we're looking to support in a short time. Be on the lookout.

Thanks a lot for the update!
Great to hear that it's on the roadmap — I'll keep an eye out for it.
