Date Presets Picker

Today / 7d / 30d / 90d pill row for dashboards, with a custom-range mode that drops in two native date inputs. The range text and sparkline update live so the window is never a mystery.

Ambience is a live light wash over the preview. Full palette re-theming of every demo arrives with Theme Studio (Pro).

Snippet provenance

v1.0.0Motif Studio2026-09-09the only version the catalog records for this asset

No changelog entry mentions “Date Presets Picker”, so the catalog records a single version for it.

Every line above is attributed to the single version this catalog records — we keep no per-line history, so no per-line attribution is invented. See the provenance page for the rule and the gaps.

Review notes · anchored to code lines

Threads attach to a line number in this asset's snippet, so a remark about the focus trap stays next to it.

The snippet on this page is 7 lines long, so anchors run 1–7. Notes are per-asset and per-browser; a shared review thread is a server feature, and this panel is the local stand-in that proves the anchoring works.

Design notes from the studio

Why it works — Date pickers fail when the common case (last 7/30 days) is hidden behind a calendar widget. Presets put the decision the user actually makes on the surface.

The idea — One source of truth for the window: the pills set [start, end], and the caption + chart both derive from it — they can never disagree.

When to skip it — If the range is part of a saved report (“run every month”), presets alone won't do — persist the window as a named schedule.

Dependency-aware copy: zero packages to install — paste and run. All markup is original Motif UI content (MIT).

Usage recipe — where this fits

Put it where a micro-decision happens: a toggle, a loader, a hover state — the small moments that make an interface feel considered.

Drop it into the exact spot it belongs, keep the default props until the copy is final, then tune the one knob that matters for your context.

Cheaper alternative — if you need even lighter, the plain HTML version skips React entirely — same result, ~0 KB.

What it needs

Browser support strip

HTML semanticsfocus-visiblecustom propertiesprefers-reduced-motionall evergreen browsers

No polyfills ship with the asset — if a listed feature is missing in a target browser, the graceful fallback is the static layout.

prefers-reduced-motion

Reduced-motion fallback

With prefers-reduced-motion: reduce, the animation loop and travel are removed; state changes keep working through opacity and colour (≤ 300ms). The demo you see above honours the switch — try it in your OS settings and the loop will quiet down.

Design rule: the reduced branch is a second design, not a stripped page — every state change stays visible.

One original micro-case

Inspiration context

The settings row that got fewer support tickets

A settings screen had seventeen identical switches with no press state. Users could not tell whether a tap had registered, so they tapped twice — and support logs filled with 'it toggles back'. The fix was one press-state scale plus a 250ms state fade per row. Ticket volume on that screen dropped by half in a month.

Written in-house — no screenshots, no borrowed imagery. The pattern, not the pixels.

The slider is honest: the slim tier has no JS, the pro tier pays for behaviour. Start slim, upgrade only the surfaces that need it.

HTML → React, priced

Stack-switch cost note

Taking the HTML/CSS version into a React component costs real work — and the cost is predictable:

Event wiring

Hover, focus and click become handlers — the CSS stays, the state appears.

Props for the knobs

Every inline value that should vary becomes a prop with a default — the defaults must match the CSS exactly.

The estimate

A clean port of this asset is 20–45 minutes for a React developer — the 337-character stylesheet is the easy half.

The honest verdict — Prism Switch is lighter, but Date Presets Picker carries richer behaviour — pick by the interaction your screen actually needs, then swap tokens, not pages.

Read next — two guides and a prompt

picked by tag overlap, not by hand

How these three were chosen: essays scored on shared tags (0 and 0 matches), then prompt scored on block/vibe overlap (0 matches). The rule lives in src/lib/spine.ts, so the same asset always links to the same three pages and a second reader can reproduce the choice.
