Name attribute in datepicker component

[oliver-yopiter]

Hello,
we noticed that when we create a datepicker component like this:
Group::make('')->fields([$this->datePickerField('date_of_birth', __('models/persons.fields.date_of_birth'))->colspan(3)]) the created HTML output has no name attribute in the input tag like your other components.
Because we are using some third party scripts to access form inputs by their name attribute it would be awesome if you could change the template of the datepicker component so that it is also using the name we provide as first parameter when creating the component (in our case 'date_of_birth').

Additinal context
This is how our FormFields.php looks like:
public function datePickerField($name, $name_local) { return DatePicker::make($name_local, $name) ->rules(isset($this->modelClass::$rules[$name]) ? $this->modelClass::$rules[$name] : ''); }

I hope my description is clear to you. If not don't hesitate to ask further questions

Thank you. I'm working on v8. I'll make sure to add this to the next release.

@oliver-yopiter I'm working on this topic but unable to find a Flatpickr config option to set the name and id attribute of the generated input.
Any suggestions?

@tanthammar I'm not sure if it's the right file but in my testings i found that in the file vendor/tanthammar/tall-forms-sponsors/resources/views/components/date-picker.blade.php from line 11 to 18 there is the input-tag for the datepicker. There I added the following line name="{{ $field->name }}". So that the input-tag looks like the following:
<input x-ref="dateInput" x-model="dateValue" value="{{ $value }}" type="text" name="{{ $field->name }}" placeholder="{{ filled($field->placeholder) ? $field->placeholder : trans(config('tall-forms-sponsors.date-picker-placeholder')) }}" class="flex-1 w-full outline-none border-none focus:ring-0" />
As said I'm not sure if this is the right place for the change but I got it working with this :)

Yes that will apply the name attr to the hidden input but not the flatpickr input.
Is that enough for you?

[oliver-yopiter]

Yes, for our purposes this it totally fine

[tanthammar]

OK. I've added that to v8.
