# Date picker (UI SDK): Form

> With a `name`, the date submits as an ISO string. `required` blocks an empty submit, text that isn’t a date blocks one too, and reset goes back to `defaultValue`.

## Add this example

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add https://hextaui.com/r/ui-sdk-date-picker-form.json
```

This adds `components/examples/ui-sdk-date-picker/form.tsx` with the Date picker component and the HextaUI theme tokens.
