DateInput
When to use DateInput versus DatePicker, based on the kind of date being requested.
Alternatives
The kind of date (exact, approximate, memorable) you are requesting from the user will determine which component is best to use.
- DatePicker — When the user needs to know a date's relationship to other days
When to use
Use if the date can be remembered by the user easily, such as a date of birth, and they don't need a calendar to anticipate the dates.
