Feature request: datepicker form input

[charleshansen]

A datepicker is too complicated to build in PUI until we have a real design and apps who are really using it. Ideally, an app will create their own datepicker and then we can work with them to extract it into Pivotal UI. We can certainly provide help if your app is going down that road.

@jadekler I agree with Charles.

If you're looking for a well-supported datepicker, I recommend:

• http://airbnb.io/react-dates
• http://clauderic.github.io/react-infinite-calendar/#/basic-settings/basic-configuration?_k=em52u9

@charleshansen After thinking about this more and looking around a bit, I think it might be worth re-considering. A datepicker is a very common form element, and some other pivotal-ui contemporaries provide it:

• Google's material ui datepicker
• Twitter's bootstrap datepicker

A really simply start could be a styled html5 datepicker? (simple start because it's got some pretty limited styling options; just a thought)

I agree a date picker would be good. There are two reasons why we don't have one right now.

• We don't have any full time developers for the team. We need to rely on pull requests to add large things unless they are very important.
• Building a datepicker without a specific usage will probably create an unusable date picker when someone finally needs it. There is just too much potential customization to make it right in a vacuum.

I would love the pull request still. It actually shouldn't be too bad, just time consuming.

Good points @charleshansen
