Description

I deleted parts of the code that are not relevant so divs might be broken

import { useState } from "react";
import { Datepicker } from "flowbite-react";

const Component= () => {
  const [date, setDate] = useState(new Date());

  const goBackOneDay = () => {
    setDate((prevDate) => {
      const newDate = new Date(prevDate);
      newDate.setDate(newDate.getDate() - 1);
      return newDate;
    });
  };

  const goForwardOneDay = () => {
    setDate((prevDate) => {
      const newDate = new Date(prevDate);
      newDate.setDate(newDate.getDate() + 1);
      return newDate;
    });
  };
  const testDate = () => {
    console.log(date);
  };
  return (
    <div className="trading-tool grid grid-cols-3 grid-rows-[auto_3fr_1fr] gap-2.5 h-screen bg-gray-800 text-white p-2.5">
      {/* Header row for the title and date picker */}
      <div className="col-span-3 flex items-center p-2.5 text-lg border-b border-gray-600">
        <span>Component</span>
        <div className="flex-grow flex justify-center items-center">
          <button onClick={goBackOneDay}>&lt;</button>
          <Datepicker date={date} title="Flowbite Datepicker" />

Research direction

Use the Datepicker component named in the report as the entry point; first reproduce the external date change with the arrow buttons and compare the prop value with the displayed value. Done means the picker updates when its date prop changes, while its existing navigation behavior still works; the report names no files or tests to run.
