After following the above steps, the project structure will look like this:

Let's see some examples to understand how to use the React Suite DatePicker placeholder attribute/prop.

Example 1: Now replace the code in the App.js file with the code below. In this example, we used the placeholder attribute of the DatePicker component to change the default placeholder value of the component.

JavaScript

import "rsuite/dist/rsuite.min.css";
import React from "react";
import { DatePicker } from "rsuite";

function App() {
    const datepickerStyle = { 
        marginBottom: "25px", 
        marginTop: "10px" 
    };

    return (
        <div className="App" style={{
            display: "flex", alignItems: "center",
            flexDirection: "column"
        }}>
            <header style={{
                textAlign: "center", display: "block",
                marginBottom: "30px"
            }}>
                <h3 style={{ color: "green" }}>GeeksforGeeks</h3>
                <h5>React Suite DatePicker Usage Placeholder</h5>
            </header>

            <p>DatePicker with Default Placeholder value: </p>
            <DatePicker style={datepickerStyle} />
            <p>DatePicker with Custom Placeholder value: </p>
            <DatePicker block style={datepickerStyle}
                placeholder="Please select your D.O.B" />
        </div>
    );
}

export default App;

Run the Application: Run your app using the following command from the root directory of the project.

Example 2: This example illustrates the use of the placeholder attribute of the DatePicker component with different sizes of the component.

JavaScript

import "rsuite/dist/rsuite.min.css";
import React from "react";
import { DatePicker } from "rsuite";

function App() {
    const datepickerStyle = { 
        marginBottom: "25px", 
        marginTop: "10px" 
    };

    return (
        <div className="App" style={{
            display: "flex", alignItems: "center",
            flexDirection: "column"
        }}>
            <header style={{
                textAlign: "center", display: "block",
                marginBottom: "30px"
            }}>
                <h3 style={{ color: "green" }}>GeeksforGeeks</h3>
                <h5>React Suite DatePicker Usage Placeholder</h5>
            </header>

            <DatePicker style={datepickerStyle} 
                placeholder="ExtraSmall 
                Placeholder" size="xs" />
            <DatePicker style={datepickerStyle} 
                placeholder="Small 
                Placeholder" size="sm" />
            <DatePicker style={datepickerStyle}

                Placeholder" size="md" />
            <DatePicker style={datepickerStyle} 
                placeholder="Large 
                Placeholder" size="lg" />

    );
}

export default App;
