React UI Library - Create Date Picker Component
We need to build a new date picker component which is configurable via props.
This component should act as the following components depending on the props passed.
- Simple date picker : allows picking a single date.
- Ranged date picker : allows picking a range of dates ("from" date and "to" date).
- Date picker with time : should allow picking a time along with a date.
- Ranged date picker with time : a date range with time.
Considerations:
- IMPORTANT - Timestamps should be saved as ISO formatted strings. The best way to achieve this would be to save the timestamp as a MomentJS moment within the component. Thus we can format the moment to suit the requirement.
- Must have the ability to disable date ranges.
- Component should expose props to handle on change events - basically to retrieve the selected date/range.
- Follow OpenMRS design theme - colors, fonts, icons. Use Material design icons if needed and available.
- Try to customize an existing date picker / calendar component to fit our needs rather than reinventing the wheel. A good starting point would be rc-calendar. Your suggestions are welcome.
- Follow the instructions at the repository (especially the Gitflow workflow) and the OpenMRS pull request tips.
- This is a difficult task that requires careful design and considerable effort. Discuss your ideas with mentors.
