📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The date picker now supports locale-aware complete parsing for typed input. It preserves invalid text, separates parse errors from consumer validation, updates formats dynamically, supports en-gb, and includes a typed-input example.

Changes

Typed date input

Layer / File(s) Summary
Localized date formatting and validation
src/components/date-picker/date-formatter.ts, src/components/date-picker/date-formatter.spec.ts
The formatter expands localized Moment tokens, validates complete parses, rejects ambiguous year lengths, and derives month formats from locale patterns. Tests cover supported locales and invalid input.
Picker input and format updates
src/components/date-picker/pickers/picker.ts, src/components/date-picker/flatpickr-adapter/flatpickr-adapter.tsx, src/components/date-picker/date.types.ts, src/global/translations.ts
The picker accepts typed Flatpickr input, uses locale-aware parsing, preserves invalid strings, and updates its format when the prop changes. The locale types and translations support en-gb, with safe fallback lookup.
Date picker validation and events
src/components/date-picker/date-picker.tsx
DatePicker tracks raw input, editing, and parse errors. It derives placeholders and helper text, preserves invalid input, resets parse state after external value changes, and emits changes only for valid dates or clearing.
Typed-input example
src/components/date-picker/examples/date-picker-typed-input.tsx, src/components/date-picker/examples/date-picker-typed-input.scss
The example supports selectable US, European, and ISO formats and displays the parsed value and validation state.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 161ea

The typed-date feature can retain dates users tried to clear, lose preserved shorthand during controlled updates, commit incorrect years, and validate or display input using stale or incorrect locale settings; it also has a reported rendering-structure issue. The PR is not safe to merge until the major correctness problems are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Emit a clear event for native input.

When a user clears a native input, event.detail is empty. parseDate returns null, so this handler emits no change and the external value remains set. Handle empty input before parsing and call clearValue().

     event.stopPropagation();

Clearing the field on a native picker no longer emits a change.

parseDate returns null for an empty string, so an emptied native input takes the else path and emits nothing. The stale value stays in the consumer's state, and the next re-render restores the old text through formatValue(this.value).

The non-native path handles this explicitly: handleInputElementChange calls clearValue() when text === ''. The native path needs the same case.

🐛 Proposed fix
     private nativeChangeHandler(event: CustomEvent<string>) {
         event.stopPropagation();

+        if (event.detail === '') {

Map nb to the no bundle.

Languages in src/components/date-picker/date.types.ts includes nb, but allTranslations has no nb entry. The new optional chaining stops the throw described in the comment at Lines 29-41, and get then returns the key itself. A consumer using language="nb" therefore sees raw keys such as date-picker.today in the calendar.

The optional chaining is the correct guard for a typo'd language. It is not a fix for a supported language with no bundle. Add the alias so nb resolves the same way en-gb now does.

🐛 Proposed fix
     'en-gb': en,
     fi: fi,
     fr: fr,
     no: no,
+    // `Languages` accepts both spellings, and `Picker.getMomentLang`
+    // normalizes toward `nb`; both must resolve to the same bundle.
+    nb: no,
     nl: nl,
     sv: sv,
 };

Check the other members of Languages against this map at the same time.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

The ambiguous-year guard silently does not apply to formats with non-numeric tokens or bracket literals.

hasAmbiguousYear maps every letter run to (\d{1,4}). Formats that contain non-numeric letter runs or escaped literals therefore never match inputPattern, and the function returns false at Line 131 without checking the year.

Two format shapes reachable from getDateFormat hit this:

  • datetime'L - LT', which expands to e.g. MM/DD/YYYY - h:mm A. The A token becomes (\d{1,4}), so 01/24/2 - 3:45 PM never matches the pattern.
  • week'[w] W GGGG'. The bracketed literal w and the W token both become (\d{1,4}), so no real input matches.

The comment at Lines 129-130 states that parseComplete's other checks reject such input. That is not the case for a short year: lenient parsing consumes YYYY/GGGG with any digit count, so charsLeftOver is 0 and unusedTokens is empty, and a single leftover digit commits as year 2 AD — exactly the case this guard exists to reject.

Restrict the digit substitution to numeric token runs, and treat bracketed literals as literal text.

tokens at Line 134 must then use the same classification so the capture-group indexes stay aligned with the matched groups.

Add spec cases for getDateFormat('datetime') and getDateFormat('week') with a truncated year to lock this behavior.

watchValue also fires for the component's own emitted value, which defeats the raw-text preservation.

handleInputElementChange emits change for valid typed text and then sets rawInputValue = text. The comment at Lines 576-583 states the intent: keep the typed shorthand visible so a 2-digit year on its way to 4 digits is not rewritten.

In a controlled usage the consumer reacts to change by assigning value. That prop change triggers this watcher, which clears rawInputValue. The next render falls through to formatValue(this.value) and rewrites the field to the canonical text. The debounce case the comment describes is therefore not covered whenever the consumer is controlled, which is the documented usage in the examples.

Track whether the incoming value is the one this component just emitted, and skip the reset in that case.

🐛 Proposed fix
+    /**
+     * The value this component itself last emitted. A `value` prop change
+     * matching it is the consumer echoing that emission back, not an
+     * external edit, so it must not discard the text being typed.

Set lastEmittedValue at each this.change.emit(...) call site, including clearValue, handleCalendarChange, and handleInputElementChange.

Confirm the intended behavior with a test that types a 2-digit year into a controlled limel-date-picker and asserts that the field still shows the typed text.

Localize the default invalid-format message.

The fallback text at Line 367 is hardcoded English. This component already accepts language and now derives its format from that locale, so a Swedish or German user sees a localized pattern inside an English sentence.

The repository has a translation mechanism for exactly this. limel-flatpickr-adapter uses translate.get('date-picker.today').

     private getHelperText(): string {
         if (this.parseError) {
             return (
                 this.invalidFormatMessage ??
-                `Enter a valid date (${this.dateFormatter.expandFormat(this.internalFormat)})`
+                translate.get('date-picker.invalid-format', this.language, {
+                    format: this.dateFormatter.expandFormat(

Add a date-picker.invalid-format entry with a {format} merge code to each translation bundle in src/global/translations.

Consider a matching watcher for language.

Picker receives language only through its constructor, and componentWillLoad runs once. This PR makes Flatpickr parse typed text through parseComplete with this.getMomentLang(), so the locale now decides how typed text is interpreted, not just how the calendar is labelled.

If a consumer changes language after the calendar exists, the picker keeps parsing and formatting with the old locale. A day-first typed date is then read as month-first, or the reverse.

DateFormatter in date-picker.tsx is also built once in the constructor, so the same gap applies on that side.

♻️ Proposed watcher
     `@Watch`('format')
     protected watchFormat() {
         this.picker?.setDateFormat(this.format);
     }

+    /**
+     * The picker's locale decides how typed text is parsed, so a later
+     * change to this prop has to reach the existing instance too.
+     */
+    `@Watch`('language')
+    protected watchLanguage() {
+        this.picker?.setLanguage(this.language);
+    }

Picker.setLanguage must also update the Flatpickr instance locale, for example through set('locale', ...).

setDateFormat cannot reset the format when the consumer clears format.

The guard skips falsy input. DatePickerCalendar.watchFormat calls this.picker?.setDateFormat(this.format), so clearing the format prop passes undefined and leaves this.dateFormat at the previous custom pattern.

DatePicker.updateInternalFormatAndType reacts differently: with no format, it sets internalFormat to the locale default. Flatpickr then parses typed text with the stale custom pattern while DatePicker validates the same text with the locale default. That is the same desync this method was added to remove.

The constructor needs the guard, because dateFormat has a subclass-provided default. An explicit update does not.

🐛 Proposed fix
     public setDateFormat(dateFormat: string) {
-        if (dateFormat) {
-            this.dateFormat = dateFormat;
-        }
+        // Deliberately unguarded, unlike the constructor: clearing the
+        // `format` prop must fall back to the same locale default that
+        // `DatePicker` starts validating typed text against, not keep the
+        // previous custom pattern.
+        this.dateFormat = dateFormat || this.getDefaultDateFormat();
     }

getDefaultDateFormat() needs to return the same pattern each subclass passes today, so the two sides agree.

Reset preserved typed-input state when the format changes.

updateInternalFormatAndType() can replace internalFormat, but it leaves parseError and rawInputValue unchanged. If invalid text is preserved and the consumer changes format, the field can continue showing the old text and remain invalid under the new format until another input event.

Reset or revalidate the preserved text when format, language, or type changes. Add a regression test for this transition.

Return multiple roots through <Host>.

render() returns a hardcoded array with two top-level Stencil elements. Replace the array with a <Host> wrapper, remove the array-separating commas, and import Host from @stencil/core. Do not add React key properties.

Refresh dateFormatter when language changes.

dateFormatter stores the language only at construction. A runtime language change leaves parsing, formatting, and format expansion on the old locale. Recreate it when language changes, and test switching from en to en-gb before parsing a day-first date.

Emit null when the native input is cleared.

nativeChangeHandler() ignores empty input because parseDate() returns no date. This prevents controlled consumers on iOS and Android from clearing value. Type the event as EventEmitter<Date | null> and call clearValue() when event.detail === ''.
