Add support of DatePicker/Calendar widget.

[dnrusakov]

As I understand there is no a DatePicker/Calendar widget right now in Jetpack compose for Desktop. At the same time it is extremely widespread use case appeared in numerous modern interfaces.
Could you guys, please, add one to Jetpack compose for Desktop?
Thank you!

I think current focus is on creating the basic framework that enables composables.

[darvld]

From similar issues in the past, I would say this is simply out of the scope of the framework, and should be left to individual libraries/components (like Accompanist for Jetpack Compose).

[dnrusakov]

Why Button widget is not left for other libraries but DatePicker is? DatePicker is pretty much as widespread as the regular buttons.

We may provide such functionality, but not immediately, especially as there are quite a few existing pickers like https://github.com/LGoodDatePicker/LGoodDatePicker that could be easily interoped with. Also this kind of component is what we'll happily accept (presuming decent quality and tests) as a component in https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-jb/tree/master/components

@olonho Thank you!

Like @olonho said using LGoodDatePicker in compose is extremely easy and will work wonderfully for most desktop apps. The team would better expend their time making the core framework more powerful, which in turn will make easier for the rest of us build our own components, rather than making some materialish hard to customize date picker.

Are there any plans on when the material date picker will be implemented? I agree it's also very important for desktop apps.

#3256 seems to address the bigger issue of the version of Material 3 being 1.0.1, while version 1.1.0 supports date picker composables.

[lazaroofarrill]

Bumping up the material version won't automatically give you a component that depends on platform specific code. It shouldn't take you that long to implement the widget yourself if you really belief the material date picker fits a desktop application, but as someone said earlier is hard to justify something like this being part of the framework.

[serandel]

Hard disagree, @lazaroofarrill. Compose for Desktop already supports that library, just an older version. So I expect it contains no platform-specific code, but standard Compose.
