Proposal: forma-36-react-date-components

Hey lovely people 👋

I’m here with another proposal about date components. One artifact of the brand new scheduled publishing feature is 3 UI components to enter and select dates, time and timezones. I want to move these components to Forma 36 for you to reuse so I’m proposing a new package called forma-36-react-date-components.

This package will include the following components:

DatePicker

TimePicker

TimezonePicker

FormattedDate -> Utility component the formats date in Forma-36 compliant formats

Why is this a new package?

These components will have a peer dependency on moment.js (or date-fns up for discussion…) which I don’t want to force the consumer of our forma-36-react-components package to install.

Ideas & comments are as always much appreciated ❤️

Thanks!

Nice, components sound great! My only concern is grouping all of these things in one package. We’ve discussed the possibility of going for a one-component-per-package and I feel like this single forma-36-react-date-components package could be a little short-sighted. So instead I’d recommend building out each component as a separate package like so:

forma-36-react-components/date-picker forma-36-react-components/time-picker forma-36-react-components/time-zone-picker forma-36-react-components/formatted-date
