Reevaluate the date picker implementation #402

Open Windvis opened 1 year ago

Do we still need a custom date picker library for this. Maybe the native one is good enough for our use cases now? (ignoring range pickers etc, which would probably be a different component anyways).

The duet date picker library we use hasn't been updated since the end of 2021 so it feels pretty unmaintained.

Issues I noticed with the native one:

the browser calendar icon can't be hidden in Firefox. This might be confusing if we also show the Appuniversum icon in there
The implementation is browser specific and some of them have some weird UX. Not sure if this is an issue for users
no control over the date formatting. It selects one based on your browser language which might not match the one used in other parts of the app

@Windvis Any plan to move forward on this topic?

Not really. The current date picker project seems dead, but the native one doesn't seem ideal either, from what I can read in my previous comment. Not sure what to do with this, other than researching other date picker libraries maybe. But it's not a blocker for a project that I work on, so I haven't looked into it.

Is there anything specific you want to see?
