---

## Installation

```bash
npm install jalaali-date-time-picker
```

## Peer Dependencies

Ensure the following packages are installed in your project:

- [`next`](https://nextjs.org/)
- [`shadcn`](https://ui.shadcn.com/docs)
- [`tailwindcss`](https://tailwindcss.com/)
- [`lucide-react`](https://lucide.dev/guide/packages/lucide-react)

## Tailwind Configuration

You **must** include this path in your `tailwind.config.js`:

```js
module.exports = {
  content: [
    "./app/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}",
    "./components/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}",
    "./node_modules/jalaali-date-time-picker/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}", // required
  ],
}
```

Or in your `app/globals.css` (or similar global style file), add:

```css
@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;

@source "../../node_modules/jalaali-date-time-picker/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}";
```

## RTL Support

To render correctly, the parent document must be in RTL mode:

```html
<div lang="fa" dir="rtl">
```

## Usage

```tsx
import { JalaaliDateTimePicker } from "jalaali-date-time-picker";

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <div dir="rtl">
      <JalaaliDateTimePicker onChange={(d) => console.log(d)} />
    </div>
  );
}
```
