Allow Custom Business Calendars to the Datepicker/Calendar

[michayou]

🙋 Feature Request

There are a number of custom calendars supported by Analytics Workspace that are not supported by the react spectrum calendar controls. These include:

• 445
• 454
• 544
• NRF
• QRS
• Modified Gregorian

Here's a wikipedia link to one of them that explains more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4%E2%80%934%E2%80%935_calendar

Right now, the spectrum calendar only supports the Gregorian calendar, but we cannot use it in our app until it supports all the special calendars.

🤔 Expected Behavior

The most flexible way would be to allow the developer to specify the calendar details to the date range picker. The second best way would be to have something like calendar={"NRF"} as one of the parameters.

😯 Current Behavior

Currently the calendar only supports the Gregorian calendar, which is not sufficient for a business analytics app.

💁 Possible Solution

Analytics Workspace (and Report Builder) have written custom calendar controls that that the calendar type as an input and produce the correct calendar display. You can see it in the report builder code base.

🔦 Context

Report builder allows customers to create reports within Microsoft Excel using their data from Analytics Workspace. Some companies use custom calendars and we need to also use those calendars for determining the start and end dates of when we should gather the data. We cannot do that using the react spectrum components.

💻 Examples

Here is an example of a custom calendar for the month of August

You can see this calendar in action in Analytics Workspace by using the company OBU ENG SC and the report suite Geometrixx A4T
