Hi @Oyl. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
The error you're encountering is because the UCalendar component from Nuxt UI expects a specific date object type from the
@internationalized/date
package, but you're using JavaScript's native Date objects.
The Issue
The UCalendar component requires date values to be instances of CalendarDate
, CalendarDateTime
, or ZonedDateTime
from the @internationalized/date
package, not JavaScript's native Date objects. This is why you're getting the error defaultValue.copy is not a function
- the component is trying to call methods that exist on these specialized date objects but not on native Date objects.
Solution
You need to use the appropriate date objects from the @internationalized/date
package. Here's how to fix your code:
Key Points
1. Import CalendarDate
from @internationalized/date
2. Use CalendarDate
objects instead of native Date
objects
3. Remember that CalendarDate
uses 1-based months (January is 1, February is 2, etc.), unlike JavaScript's Date
which uses 0-based months (January is 0, February is 1, etc.)
The UCalendar component documentation shows that it accepts specific date types for its props like modelValue
, minValue
, maxValue
, and placeholder
from the Calendar component documentation.

I got what i wanted to work with the dates
this USelect element is NOT getting styled properly and its really annoying me
The background is still the default neutral bg color the text color is black with a black border and even targeting the ui prop isnt changing it. if i add the base to the ui prop that DOES change the base element but the other things arent changing

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:

I can see you're having trouble styling the USelect component from Nuxt UI. The issue is with how you're trying to customize the dropdown menu and options.
The Issue
When customizing the USelect component, you need to target the correct slot names in the
ui
prop. Based on the knowledge sources, the USelect component uses different slot names than what you're currently using.
Solution
You need to update your ui
prop to target the correct slots. Here's how to properly style the USelect component:
Explanation
The USelect component in Nuxt UI v3 uses Tailwind Variants for styling, which has a different approach to theming than previous versions:
1. The base
slot targets the main input element
2. The content
slot targets the dropdown menu container
3. The item
slot targets the individual dropdown options
Your current approach is using menu
and option
, which aren't the correct slot names for the USelect component in the current version of Nuxt UI.
Additionally, for hover states in dropdown items, you should use data-highlighted:bg-charcoal-700
instead of just hover:bg-charcoal-700
to ensure proper styling when navigating with keyboard.
If you need more detailed customization, you can check the Nuxt UI Theme documentation which explains the slot-based styling system used in Nuxt UI components.
Remember that Nuxt UI v3 has updated its theming system, so any customizations you might have used in v2 would need to be updated to the new slot-based approach as described in the migration guide.
