Date range input

[garthtarr]

Hi, is there a way to have the nice theme but use standard shiny::dateRangeInput()? The theme looks to ruin the original shiny function.

@ericrayanderson Or alternatively, can we add a few more options into shinymaterial::material_date_picker() a really important element is the starting date (called value in the shiny::dateInput() but it would also be nice (though not essential) to have min and max options. Without a default (starting) date functionality I have to go back to the standard shiny date input, which works, but doesn't have the super nice calendar pop up.

Thanks for all your work on this!

shiny::dateInput(
  inputId,
  label,
  value = NULL,
  min = NULL,
  max = NULL,
  format = "yyyy-mm-dd",
  startview = "month",
  weekstart = 0,
  language = "en",
  width = NULL,
  autoclose = TRUE,
  datesdisabled = NULL,
  daysofweekdisabled = NULL
)

Can you try the most recent dev version remotes::install_github("ericrayanderson/shinymaterial")

New parameter: shinymaterial::material_date_picker(value = "Jul 25, 2020")

Thanks so much for adding this! It works, but there's a slight visual oddity in that when a date is pre-specified using value, the calendar opens up to the correct month, but the date is not initially circled and the "big text" date is still today's date. This behaviour changes once a date is actually clicked in the calendar interface.

library(shiny)
library(shinymaterial)

ui <- material_page(
  title = "Basic Page",
  material_date_picker("test_date", "Pick date", value = "Jan 01, 2020")
)

server <- function(input, output) {  
 
}
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)

Before clicking anything in the calendar:

After clicking the same date as that selected using the value argument:

If this is tricky to fix, don't worry about it, the underlying date specification works and it is super useful to be able to specify this. Thanks again!
