Creating a datetime field in Ponzu

[joesb]

I'm wondering how to create a content field for a datetime e.g. opening/closing dates of an event. Ideally it would be formatted into year, month, day (etc.) fields in the UI – taking some inspiration from the content publishTime UI, maybe. Granularity of field elements might be adaptable in some way.

Any resources or pointers on how to do it? (I'm new to Go and Ponzu, and hoping to learn some Go by working with Ponzu.)

Many thanks, in anticipation.

@joesb - You can add any arbitrary HTML attributes to the inputs exported from the editor package. Could you try adding the type attr set to date in the input function?

for example:

        editor.Field{
            View: editor.Input("StartDate", p, map[string]string{
                "label":       "StartDate",
                "type":        "date",
                "placeholder": "Enter the Author here",
            }),
        },
