If you don't pass items to
govukDateInput
, it renders the default Day, Month and Year that most people need. However you commonly need to set the values, at which point you have to set all the items individually.This PR adds a
values
option similar to other components that allows you to pass an array of values. In usage this looks like:The only thing still missing would be to have error states, which could be tricky. You could have a similar
classes
option, but then you'd have to setgovuk-input--width
too, at which point the code is pretty much as verbose as setting items individually. However for prototyping I don't think you would always need error states.
