I am trying to add airbnb-date-date . After selecting the start and end dates of the date, when I re-open the date selection, the calendar shows the current month instead of the selected start / end date.
For example: if I set the start date = 2017-05-05 and the end date = 2017-05-09 , then it displays the selected date, but if I click again when the calendar opens and only the current month is displayed, i.e. February , so I have to click next month, next month to see the previous selected dates, i.e. May ;
How I implemented: From https://github.com/airbnb/react-dates#getting-started
Set npm install --save react-dates moment@>=#.## react@>=#.## react-dom@>=#.## react-addons-shallow-compare@>=#.##
I installed the necessary packages node ie babel, webpack. Each time I run a command webpackin the project directory to build bundle.js, then run index.htmlto see the result.
index.html

class HomePageDatePicker extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {

this.onDatesChange = this.onDatesChange.bind(this);

onDatesChange({ startDate, endDate }) {
this.setState({ startDate, endDate });

onFocusChange(focusedInput) {

render() {
const { focusedInput, startDate, endDate } = this.state;
return (

ReactDOM.render(
