Topic: MDBDatePicker doesn't clear state
*_Expected behavior_*The documentation says MDBDatepicker will clear state if you assign the a state to the value property and update it outside the component.
I have a clearFilter() which clears the state to "", but the Date picker doesnt' update.*_Actual behavior_*The date picker doesn't clear after it's state is updated to null or empty string.
Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.)
import React, { useState } from "react";
import { MDBDatePicker } from "mdb-react-ui-kit";
const DatePicker = () => {
const [startDate, setStartDate] = useState("");
const clearFilter = () => {
setStartDate("");
};
return (
<>
<MDBDatePicker
multiple
value={startDate}
onChange={(value) => {
setStartDate(value);
}}
/>
<button onClick={clearFilter}>clearFilter</button>
</>
);
};
export default DatePicker;

Could you fix your code sample? I think it's missing some code.

I was able to resolve this issue by installing the essential package. The issue was with the package that comes in the admin-dashboard template. That one is buggy and doesn't work consistently. Having solved this issue, I ran into another issue in the essential package: the dropdown link is not available in that package.
To resolve that issue, I tried installing the advanced package that didn't fix anything. The advanced package is missing more packages, so I reverted back to using the essential package.
I would really appreciate it if someone emailed me what package to install. I am currently on the advanced subscription.

Did you try to reinstall the package and update it to the newest version? Maybe clear the npm cache if it will not help?

I checked your code, and every time it was working fine
