# Pill Calendar

> The CalendarCard component is a shadcn-styled calendar variant that provides a clean, modern way to pick single dates or ranges. Unlike the standard flat grid design, this component is wrapped inside a subtle card with borders and shadow, giving it a distinct visual hierarchy on the page. Days are displayed in pill-shaped cells, making selections look lighter and more elegant, while the current date is emphasized with a thin primary-colored ring. It supports both single-date and range selection modes, with smooth hover, focus, and disabled states built in. Designed with accessibility through react-aria-components, the CalendarCard integrates seamlessly into shadcn UI projects and can be easily extended with theming, dark mode, or dropdown month/year selectors. This makes it a versatile choice for forms, dashboards, and scheduling interfaces where a compact yet visually appealing calendar is needed.
