DateInput

DateInput is the free-typing single-date field: an editable Input trigger that opens a Calendar in a popover. Typing a value in valueFormat (default 'MMMM D, YYYY') parses and selects it; an unparseable string is preserved while typing and (with fixOnBlur, the default) reverts on blur; picking a day fills the input and closes the dropdown. Supports label, description, placeholder, error, required, clearable, withTime, and per-slot styles.

`date`	`string \| Date \| undefined`	—	Displayed date in controlled mode.
`dateParser`	`((value: string) => DateStringValue \| Date \| null) \| undefined`	—	Parse user input into a date string (or `Date`); falls back to the locale-aware default parser.

`error`	`ReactNode`	—	Error message / state.
`excludeDate`	`((date: DateStringValue) => boolean) \| undefined`	—	Predicate marking a day disabled.

`getMonthControlProps`	`((date: DateStringValue) => Partial<PickerControlProps>) \| undefined`	—	Passes props down to each month `PickerControl`, keyed by date (wins over `styles.control`).
`getYearControlProps`	`((date: DateStringValue) => Partial<PickerControlProps>) \| undefined`	—	Passes props down to each year `PickerControl`, keyed by date (wins over `styles.control`).

Style slots

Every part of DateInput can be styled through the styles prop. Explicit props on the component always win over slot styles.

Slot	Usage
`calendar`	`styles={{ calendar: { … } }}`
`dropdown`	`styles={{ dropdown: { … } }}`
`input`	`styles={{ input: { … } }}`
`wrapper`	`styles={{ wrapper: { … } }}`
