Date Picker
A widget that empowers the user to view an up-to-date calendar in order to see what dates are available and then select one or more consecutive dates.Time selection is optional depending on requirements.
Context of use
The date picker should be available where dates and/or times need to be selected in order to accomplish a task.
Where used
The date picker is typically used, but not restricted to, for the following:
- to post a form
- to book an event
- to log an action
How it works
Date pickers will have different features depending on the requirements:
- single month + day + year selection
- date range (month + day + year) selection
- date & time (month + day + year + time) selection
- date + time range (month + day + year + time) selection
- ability to change year easily (not a three screen fiasco like Bootstrap)
- ability to add a date or date range without the aid of a mouse
- text entry must parse multiple text formats (“Aug 15” / “August 15” / “15-aug” / “8/15”)
- Optional suggesters (Last 7 days, Last 30 Days, Last 60 Days, Last 90 Days) will be useful
