# Calendar: Month and year dropdowns

> `captionLayout="dropdown"` replaces the caption with native selects, so phones get their own picker. Set `startMonth` and `endMonth` to bound the years.

Example: https://hextaui.com/docs/calendar/examples/dropdowns
Component docs: https://hextaui.com/docs/calendar.md

## Add this example

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add https://hextaui.com/r/calendar-dropdowns.json
```

This adds `components/examples/calendar/dropdowns.tsx` with the Calendar component and the HextaUI theme tokens.

## Source

```tsx title="components/examples/calendar/dropdowns.tsx"
import { Calendar } from "@/components/ui/calendar"

export function CalendarDropdowns() {
  return (
    <div className="w-fit max-w-full overflow-x-auto rounded-xl border">
      <Calendar
        mode="single"
        captionLayout="dropdown"
        startMonth={new Date(1940, 0)}
        endMonth={new Date(2035, 11)}
        defaultMonth={new Date(1995, 5)}
      />
    </div>
  )
}
```
