Troubleshooting
Check behavior before surface.
- If the material is missing, confirm the registry-installed shared and component CSS files are imported once.
- If interaction differs, preserve this contract: Popover and Calendar keyboard contracts compose.
- If assistive output differs, preserve this semantic foundation: A labelled trigger opens a focus-managed calendar surface.
- If dark, RTL, or reduced-motion behavior is missing, verify the nearest theme, direction, and media-query boundaries rather than adding page-local overrides.
Implementation decisions
When to use Date Picker
Use a date picker to support, rather than prevent, direct and correctly formatted date entry. State the expected date meaning, locale, time-zone boundary, allowed range, and unavailable dates in nearby guidance. Preserve keyboard movement and a route back to the invoking field. Test month and year boundaries, leap days, minimum and maximum values, typed errors, RTL layout, high zoom, and server-side validation.
