Build an iPhone Style Wheel Date Picker in 10 Minutes
Build a smooth iOS style wheel date picker from scratch using HTML, CSS, and Swiper JS — no React, no heavy plugin, just clean vanilla JavaScript.
In this tutorial I build it in 6 steps, adding HTML, CSS, and JavaScript one piece at a time so you can follow exactly what each part does.
What you will learn:
→ How to build the drum layout with a pixel-perfect centre highlight band
→ The CSS formula that controls where the first and last items stop
→ How to configure Swiper JS for vertical scroll with momentum and snap
→ How the day column auto-updates for February, leap years, and short months
→ How to read the selected value and store it in an input field
