Slide Animation
The calendar uses a --anim-ease-in-out --anim-duration-md animation to help users better understand the direction of movements within the calendar.
Best Practices
1. Positioning
Ensure that the calendar component is visible and is not being cut off by the side of the browser window or by the viewport of smaller breakpoints.
2. Range with Presets
Use the Calendar with presets variant to provide a list of common date ranges. This list should be short and should not include unnecessary options that will confuse the user. ¹
3. Unavailable days
Use the calendar day button disable states to display unavailable days. Do not hide them from within the calendar.¹

Accessibility
Color contrast ratio for our Calendar component meets AAA standards, based on Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) guidelines.
Benefits: People with low vision often have difficulty reading text that does not contrast with its background. This can be exacerbated if the person has a color vision deficiency that lowers the contrast even further. Providing a minimum luminance contrast ratio between the text and its background can make the text more readable even if the person does not see the full range of colors. It also works for the rare individuals who see no color.
