mdDateTime - a date time picker #648
Description
Hi,
It would be very nice to have a date and a time picker.
This could be inspired by this project : http://amsul.ca/pickadate.js
Here are my suggestions (based on use case I already had in some e-commerce projects):
- Ability to select 1 or multiple dates (To select a technical appointment with your cable company)
- Ability to select a period (To select dates of departure and return in a travel website)
- Ability to enable or disable dates based on a model of availability.
- Ability to display 1 or multiple calendars.
Thanks

I hate everything that tries to be better then blinks native input date & time controller
You are never really going to get the same functionality as the native. It will be bloated with more code dosen't work as good with validation/keyboard shortcuts/styling (overflow: hidden; inline position absolute/fixed) etc. mark my words: There will be bugs to fill. I could give you a hole page with flaws i have seen over the year with all of the picker i have came across. No one have ever been as good as the native.
Have you looked at datetime-local in the newest Android or IOS? its amazing! Responsive & localized with both timezone and language.
One thing you will never be able to fix is letting the picker (date, time, datalist & select) to flow outside of the document/iframe that is smaller then 100x30px

@jimmy that's an interesting perspective. Do you prefer IE's implementation
of over pickadate?

no... yes... I'm not sure.
They would eventually catch up and make crapy date picker eventually some day. And then my website would be ready to support it when it lands. It's all about progressive enhancement. Why should modern user suffer because of IE? It will still work but not as good. It's not like something will break. They will still be able to enter a date and time.
I would perhaps want a fallback solution. Tell them how to enter a correct date with ngMessage. Perhaps use a mask:ed input with the support of parser/formaters

Btw, datalist and datetime-local makes a grate combo especially in android at least! demo
That is one thing that no picker has... as far as i have seen
blink is continues going to improve the picker even further then it is today and i get all the updates for free!

This component is planned for Q1, 2015 availability.

The advantage of a Material date-picker versus native ones is a cohesive look & feel and interactive experience across all platforms. Every native date-picker looks different.

Then i want it to be very accessibility. Everything you can do with the native should be possible with the material
marcysutton commentedon Nov 16, 2014
Yes, all components must be accessible! The date picker will be a challenging one to get right, just as tabs were.
jimmywarting commentedon Nov 16, 2014
I want to have that tab-able functionality that change focus on yyyy-MM-dd --:--
When I have focus on the month and enter number 2 on my keyboard it should choose 02 and go to next focusable part (dd) since there is no other month that begins with number 2. but if i enter 1 i should stay on the month until i go to the next one or with tab or my arrow key or enter 10, 11 or 12 then go to the next one.
And on my android device i want something totally different? You are definitely up for a real challenging if you are going to win over the native input field. Even that
<datalist>or something equal counts to convince me to use a custom picker insteadmlb6 commentedon Nov 16, 2014
@jimmywarting thanks for sharing with us your wishes regarding this functionality. Till now, the material design team did an amazing job. So, let them decide what should be the best user experience for this functionality. I'm pretty sure you won't be disappointed about the result.
