## Linking
-This package supports automatic linking. Usually, the only thing you need to do is to install the package, the cocoapods dependencies (as descripted above). Then rebuild the project by running `react-native run-ios`, `react-native run-android` or start the build from within Xcode/Android Studio. If you'running a React Native version below 0.60 or your setup is having issues with automatic linking, you can run `npx react-native link react-native-date-picker` and rebuild. In some occations you'll have to manually link the package. Instructions in this issue.

## About
-📅 React Native Date Picker is a cross platform component working on both iOS and Android. It uses the slightly improved DatePickerIOS on iOS and a custom picker on Android which has similar look and feel. The datetime mode might be particulary interesting if you looking for a way to avoid two different popup pickers on android.

## Why another React Native datepicker?
-One of the strongest reason to use react native is its cross platform compatibility. Most of the official components are working seamlessly on both platforms but there are some with single platform support only. The react native datepicker is one example where both DatePickerIOS and DatePickerAndroid are present. The reason for this is that the default date picker is implemented in seperate ways, iOS normally have an integrated view picker wheel where android has different pickers in a dialog format.
-
-If you want to use these pickers you can combile the official ones or a third party module that already done that for you. If you on the other hand want have a more unified design between your android and ios app, this module is for you. The datetime mode can be particularly helpful to avoid 2 separate picker dialogs on android.
