[Patternfly] Recommended date picker widget?

[Matt Carrano]

Hi Petr,

We advocate the Bootstrap date picker ([5] below) with a separate control for setting time.  Besides the new dependency of the combined date/time picker, we see some usability issues with that widget.  You might reference what the Cockpit team is doing.  We'd be glad to work with you on any interaction details.  Is there a reason why you must combine this into a single control?

Thanks, 

Matt

Hi!

We would like to implement/use a datetime widget in FreeIPA Web UI. 
There hasn't be any development in this thread so I wonder if [5] is 
still the way to go.

[5] looks good but it lacks time component. I've found [6], it has a 
good license as well(MIT) and supports time. Downside is that it brings 
new dependency: moment.js

I would like to avoid using something different than the component that 
will be in PF.

So I would like to ask some questions:

1. Has anybody done any datepicker components evaluation?
2. Are there already any date/time + patternfly implementations or 
patternfly draft?
3. Do you guys prefer to use separate date and time pickers? Note: for 
us it's essential to combine it into single date object.

Thank you,

Petr
