Reactjs – How to rename a date library with the same name in a single file?

I’m encountering an issue when importing two date libraries in the same file. Both libraries share the same name, "Datepicker," and I’d like to use both of them in my project.

Currently, I’m importing the libraries as follows:

import DatePicker from "react-datepicker";
import Datepicker from "react-tailwindcss-datepicker";

However, due to the identical names, the second import overwrites the first, and I can’t use both libraries simultaneously.

I’m aware that a potential solution would be to rename the second import. However, I’m unsure of the best way to proceed.

Could someone guide me on how to correctly rename the second import to avoid naming conflicts? Is there a recommended convention for handling this kind of situation?

I trie to do this code:

import Datepicker as TDatepicker from "react-tailwindcss-datepicker";

and it is not working

    When you import default exported item, you can directly use any name without as keyword.

    import DatePicker from "react-datepicker";
import MyAnotherDatepicker from "react-tailwindcss-datepicker";

    In case if you want to import a named exported item with a duplicate name, you have to use as keyword.

    import DatePicker from "react-datepicker";
import { Datepicker as MyAnotherDatepicker } from "react-tailwindcss-datepicker";

    The package react-tailwindcss-datepicker offers default export, you can just name the import however you want.

    import WhateverYouWant from "react-tailwindcss-datepicker";
