    render() {
        return (
            <div className="row example-wrapper" styles={{ minHeight: 450 }}>
                <div className="col-xs-12 col-md-6 example-col">
                    <p>DateInput</p>
                    <DateInput
                        value={this.state.value}
                        onChange={this.changeDate}
                    />
                    <p>(use <code>←</code> and <code>→</code> to navigate, <code>↑</code> and <code>↓</code> to update)</p>
                    <p>DatePicker</p>
                    <DatePicker
                        value={this.state.value}
                        onChange={this.changeDate}
                    />
                    <p>(use Alt+<code>↓</code> to open the calendar, <code>←</code> and <code>→</code> to navigate, <code>↑</code> to increment and <code>↓</code> to decrement the value)</p>
                    <p>TimePicker</p>
                    <TimePicker
                        value={this.state.value}
                        onChange={this.changeDate}
                    />
                    <p>(use Alt+<code>↓</code> to open the time list, Tab to move to the next time section in the popup, <code>↑</code> to increment and <code>↓</code> to decrement the value)</p>
                </div>
                <div className="col-xs-12 col-md-6 example-col">
                    <Calendar
                        value={this.state.value}
                        onChange={this.changeDate}
                    />
                </div>
            </div>
        );
    }

    changeDate = ({ value }) => {
        this.setState({ value });
    }
}

ReactDOM.render(
    <App />,
    document.querySelector('my-app')
);
