DatePicker Research

🧑‍🔬 Research

Background

The Vivid design system has a FAST-based DatePicker that may be a good candidate for inclusion in Nimble. Source

Figma design

❓Questions

I'd like to understand:

1. Can we directly leverage this implementation in Nimble?
2. Are there major gaps between the current Nimble design, and the Vivid design? I.e. Styling only? Template only? More?
3. Does Vivid differ materially from the Nimble architecture? E.g. Alternative approach to design tokens, etc.?
4. Rough estimate on the size of this effort?

I made for our plugins a date-time picker, because we needed it:
Date picker with

• week number
• first day of week can be defined as saturday, sunday or monday
• weekends have other background color
  
  

Time picker will show four first

Then show the minutes
