Support for Vikrami calendar (Nepal)

[AayushKarki714]

Thank you for such awesome library. Is there any support for Nepali Calendar? It has exposed some formatters but It only works for formatting date picker. I want to be able to configure the internal logic of how a month is determined.

@AbhiShake1 was looking for the same in #2212.

This is something we cannot add to DayPicker itself - it has to be supported by date-fns, or a library similar to date-fns-jalali.

See date-fns/date-fns#1730, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vikram_Samvat

Thanks alot. I thought since the months/monthDays are different, adding ne locale to datefns wouldnt work. Seems like it does. Will find some free time and get on it

@AbhiShake1 here is how we support the Jalali calendar:

https://github.com/gpbl/react-day-picker/blob/main/src/jalali.tsx

at first sight, creating a new npm package similar to date-fns-jalal could be the solution. Maybe its maintainer @smoosavi can help you understand the effort required?

Thanks alot for the help. I want to try adding it to datefns first, then i may be able to understand why date-fns-jalali was created proceed onto a separate library.
Thanks alot for helping out man, i will keep you posted
