::note
This component relies on the [`@internationalized/date`](https://react-spectrum.adobe.com/internationalized/date/index.html) package which provides objects and functions for representing and manipulating dates and times in a locale-aware manner.

Use the `default-value` prop to set the initial value when you do not need to control its state.
