[Feature Request][DatePicker]: DatePicker should provide a way to set today value #10091

Open QiuranHu opened 1 week ago

QiuranHu commented 1 week ago

Feature Request Description

Hi Team, Our requirement is we need to select date in a specific time zone. In the screenshot, the time zone is UTC + 9. So for DatePicker, the today value should not be today in browser time zone, but today in UTC + 9 (in this case today should be Oct 28, not 27).

Screenshot 2024-10-28 at 10 58 13

So now there is a bug in our page. Could you please enhance the API of DatePicker so the today value can be customized? Or provide an option to hide today value (the purple highlight)

I think there should be other teams with similar requirements inside SAP (select date in a different time zone than browser's). So this feature could benefit other teams as well

Proposed Solution

DatePicker should provide a way to set today value

Proposed Alternatives

DatePicker should provide an option to hide today value

Hello @QiuranHu did you use the timezone setting to configure the timezone in question?

QiuranHu commented 1 week ago

Hi @ilhan007, thanks for your quick reply! Can I only apply this setting to part of the application? Because in other part of our application, we used UTC timezone.

Hi @QiuranHu

No, the timezone configuration is not per DatePicker instance, it's per UI5 Web Components runtime (with all date/time web components that are part of it), e.g the entire app or micro-frontend, etc. In terms of its scope, timezone is the same as the theme and language settings.

The other part of the application that you mentioned, it is a micro-fronted with its own UI5 Web Components runtime, or both the picker in UTC and the picker in UTC+9 are in a single application (no microfrontends) that are using a single UI5 Web Components runtime?

Hello @QiuranHu I am not sure that hiding the "today" marker would be acceptable design-wise.

We can continue offline, but I would like to get a statement by your design team about the topic: is it ok for your design team to have a date picker without today marker?

Overall, could you explain briefly what is the use-case of having date pickers in different timezones in the same page or app?

BR, ilhan
