Slash Command Option: Datepicker
I think it would be a great feature to add a Datepicker to slash commands as an option.
Would make development on some features so much better.

Hello, Aidanohart
Now, while I can’t directly implement features (I’m still working on my code-jitsu), I can certainly guide you toward some potential solutions. Here are a couple of approaches you might consider:
Auto-Insert Slashes as You Type:
If you’re dealing with a text input field where users need to enter dates in a specific format (say, MM/DD/YYYY), you can automatically insert slashes as they type. It’s like having a friendly date formatter right there in the input field.For instance, in JavaScript, you could attach an event listener to the input field and modify the value based on the user’s input. Here’s a simplified example:
// Assuming you have an input field with the ID "dateInput"
const dateField = document.getElementById("dateInput");
dateField.addEventListener("keyup", function (event) {
const inputValue = this.value;
if (inputValue.match(/^\d{2}$/) !== null) {
this.value = inputValue + "/";
} else if (inputValue.match(/^\d{2}\/\d{2}$/) !== null) {
this.value = inputValue + "/";
}
});
Of course, you’d need to adapt this to your specific use case and framework. But the concept remains: listen for user input, detect the right moment to add slashes, and voilà!
I hope this info is helpful to you.
Best Regard,
