Defining name and id props does not POST the inner input

[Gildedter]

Specifically for DateInput, I have this code:

<label for="dateTaken" class="form-label"
    >Date Taken</label
>
<DateInput
    bind:value={dateTaken}
    format="yyyy/MM/dd"
    placeholder="Not set"
    id="dateTaken"
    name="dateTaken"
/>
{dateTaken}

within my form tag, upon submit, I see my other fields on the incoming post request except for dateTaken, submitting this issue before a doing a simple fork, not sure if adding those two fields would mess with the existing functionality

DateInput doesn't have any name or id prop. FormData only supports strings/blobs, so I'm not sure how this should really be implemented

I'm also interested in this to be able to pull the value out of the form from my +page.server.ts file

I haven't found a correct implementation, since DateInput's "value" is a Date type, FormData api can't pass it (even boolean is turned to string from my testing), I saw a text prop which contains the text version of the currently selected date, would setting that as the input's value property work?

That wouldn't work for DatePicker, and it's probably not a good idea to have the user-facing format be used for it because you might want to change the format users see, or have locale-specific formats
