AtlasDatePicker

A date field that shows the chosen date and opens a calendar in a raised card.

Since 1.4.0

AtlasDatePicker is a field like AtlasComboBox that shows the chosen date and opens an AtlasCalendar. An invalid Date (new Date(NaN)) means "no date": the field shows placeholderText. Choosing a day sets selectedDate, emits edited and closes the card. Escape closes it too, and focus returns to the field.

AtlasDatePicker is a Qt Quick Templates Control; its inherited properties work as usual. See https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qml-qtquick-controls-control.html.

Example

AtlasDatePicker {
    selectedDate: new Date(2026, 2, 15)
    minimumDate: new Date(2026, 0, 1)
    clearable: true
    onEdited: task.due = selectedDate
}

Keyboard

On the field, Alt+Down, Return or Space open the card. With clearable and a date set, Delete or Backspace clears it.

Accessibility

Name it with Accessible.name (what the date is for). The date itself is spoken as the description.
