📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

DatePicker now supports locale-aware 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 parsing and formats
src/components/date-picker/date-formatter.ts, src/components/date-picker/date-formatter.spec.ts, src/components/date-picker/date.types.ts, src/global/translations.ts
The formatter expands localized tokens, validates complete parses and year lengths, and derives month formats from locale patterns. Tests cover supported locales and invalid input. The language type and translation mapping include en-gb.
Picker format and focus integration
src/components/date-picker/pickers/*, src/components/date-picker/flatpickr-adapter/flatpickr-adapter.tsx
The adapter updates formats and initializes Flatpickr with a proxy input and preview date. Picker change events allow null, and picker classes support configurable focus return and selection redraws.
Typed input state and commit behavior
src/components/date-picker/date-picker.tsx
DatePicker tracks raw input, editing, and parse errors. It derives display and helper text, resets typed state after relevant property changes, and commits on blur or Enter. It emits changes for valid dates or clearing and preserves invalid text without emitting.
Typed-input example
src/components/date-picker/examples/date-picker-typed-input.*
The example provides selectable US, European, and ISO formats and displays the date-picker value.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c8ba4

Resolve truncated-year validation, language-change handling, and the nullable public event contract before merging. Native clearing and mid-edit text preservation are fixed, but some localized-input and calendar-highlighting issues remain.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to c8ba4

The inspected changes remain within date-entry UI behavior, without a demonstrated security-control bypass. The main design risk is that delayed input updates may restore an edit after a newer value has replaced it. Downstream handling of emitted dates and clearing remains unverified.

Retained concerns

  • Low · reliability · inferred: A pending input-field change can arrive after an external value or format change resets the date picker’s draft state, restoring superseded text and preview state. A subsequent blur can emit that older edit against the newer value. Parent reset does not cancel or invalidate the child’s delayed event, so replacement is not atomic across the two state owners. Ordinary blur flushes pending input before committing, but does not protect an external update occurring while editing continues.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The demonstrated exposure is user-controlled text entering a reusable UI component and producing Date or null events for its consumers. The inspected path does not establish access to a privileged operation, tenant boundary, or persistent store; independently affected downstream assets and services remain unknown.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — No security attack path was demonstrated in the inspected date-entry flow. The state-supersession concern can affect emitted date correctness, but connecting it to an authorization or sensitive persistence outcome would require downstream evidence that is not available.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The editable field receives disabled and readonly flags, and typed-change and Enter handlers repeat those guards. Parsing failure blocks typed commitment. The inspected picker configuration contains no min/max or disabled-date policy, so a bypass of such a component-owned restriction is not supported.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Make replacement of an edit an explicit cross-component transition: cancel or deliberately flush pending input before resetting, or attach an edit generation so delayed changes from a superseded edit are rejected.

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();

+        this.clearValue();

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.

         event.stopPropagation();

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.
+     */
+    private lastEmittedValue: Date | null | undefined;
+
     `@Watch`('value')
     protected watchValue() {
+        if (
+            this.lastEmittedValue !== undefined &&
+            this.value?.getTime() === this.lastEmittedValue?.getTime()
+        ) {

+        }
+
         this.parseError = false;
         this.rawInputValue = undefined;
     }

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

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').

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.

I think a lot of the docstrings are overly expressive, we should probably shorten them and be more specific about what the function does if we want to keep them. Otherwise I see this becoming too chatty

Also I think we should address the code rabbit comments and sonarcloud findings (if neccessary)?

Blocking: this rewrites the typed text mid-edit.

When the consumer echoes back the value that handleInputElementChange just emitted (as the new example does with onChange={e => this.value = e.detail}), this watcher clears rawInputValue. getDisplayValue is still in isEditing mode, so it falls through to formatValue(value) and writes the canonical text into the input.

Concrete case: type 1/24/20 on the way to 1/24/2023, pause past the input field's 300ms debounce. The debounced change parses 20 as 2020 (valid shorthand), emits, the consumer sets value, this watcher wipes rawInputValue, and the field becomes 01/24/2020 under the cursor. The next keystrokes give 01/24/202023. Deleting 20 from 2020 triggers the same loop.

The comment at line 576 describes exactly this scenario and says rawInputValue prevents it; this watcher undoes that. At minimum, don't clear rawInputValue while isEditing is true. Beyond that, committing on the debounce at all is questionable: a consumer that saves on change receives 2020 before the user finishes typing 2023. Consider only emitting on blur/Enter and using the debounced events for parseError feedback only.

Blocking: native inputs can no longer be cleared.

On main this was an unconditional this.change.emit(date), so clearing the native <input type="date"> on iOS/Android gave event.detail === '', parseDate returned null, and change(null) was emitted. This guard now swallows that case, so the consumer's value stays set and the field re-syncs to the old value. Once a value is set on mobile it can't be removed.

Emit null when the text is empty, same as clearValue does for the non-native path.

Blocking: every typed commit emits change twice.

This emit fires from the input field's blur/Enter flush. Then Flatpickr's own allowInput blur/Enter handling sees the input text differs from getDateStr(), calls the patched setDate(text, true) (which passes the override since the text parses), which runs onValueUpdate -> handleClose -> handleCalendarChange -> a second change.emit with an equal Date.

Consumers doing work per change (API save, dirty tracking, undo stack) get duplicate entries. This also contradicts the new doc comment calling change the single source of truth. The root cause is two independent parsers bound to the same <input>; the cleaner fix is to stop giving Flatpickr the real input and push dates in only via setDate(Date), but at minimum the second emit needs to be suppressed.

The default invalid-format message is hardcoded English and ignores the language prop. A Swedish date picker shows Enter a valid date (YYYY-MM-DD) under an otherwise Swedish UI.

The sibling pickers already use translate.get(key, language) with keys from src/translations/*.ts, and the Translations class supports {param} substitution. Add a date-picker.invalid-format key with a {format} param to each bundle and use that here.

Blocking: this check is dead for most default formats.

The pattern maps every letter run to (\d{1,4}) and treats [ / ] as literals, so any format containing a non-numeric token or a bracketed literal never matches, and the function returns false without checking anything. That includes the defaults for datetime (en: MM/DD/YYYY - h:mm A), week ([w] W GGGG) and quarter ([Q]Q YYYY).

Concrete cases:

  • Default type, language en: typing 1/24/2 - 10:30 AM parses leniently as year 2 AD, parsing flags are clean, the pattern fails on AM, so parseComplete returns a year-0002 date and change is emitted.
  • type="week": w 5 20 commits year 20 AD. The doc comment above says a 2-digit GGGG must be rejected, but the guard never runs.

The tokenizer needs to handle A/a, bracketed literals, and ideally only build digit groups for the numeric tokens rather than every letter run.

The L/l regex runs over bracket-escaped literals too, which moment itself never expands. format="[Deadline] L" is a valid moment format (renders Deadline 01/24/2026), but expandFormat turns it into [DeadM/D/YYYYine] MM/DD/YYYY, which is shown verbatim as the placeholder and in the invalid-format message, and also fed into hasAmbiguousYear.

Add \[[^\]]*\] as a first alternative in the regex and return those segments unchanged.

Separately: the if (!format) guard is unreachable from any internal caller (internalFormat is always a non-empty string after componentWillLoad). It only matters if an external caller passes undefined to the public parseDate. Either drop it or make the parameter optional so the signature is honest.

charsLeftOver > 0 rejects input with trailing or leading whitespace. Pasting 01/24/2026 (trailing space, common from copy/paste) leaves one char over, so parseComplete returns null and the field shows Enter a valid date (MM/DD/YYYY) even though the visible text matches the pattern. Flatpickr's own blur path uses trimEnd(), so the two parsers disagree on the same text.

Trim date before parsing, and before the hasAmbiguousYear regex.

setDateFormat keeps the old format when format is cleared.

If the consumer clears format, the method receives undefined, and the guard keeps the previous custom pattern. DatePicker then validates typed text against the locale default, while Flatpickr still parses with the stale pattern. When the argument is falsy, fall back to the subclass default format.

The ambiguous-year guard does not run for formats with non-numeric tokens or bracket literals.

The code maps every letter run to (\d{1,4}). For datetime (L - LT expands to MM/DD/YYYY h:mm A), the A token never matches AM. For week ([w] W GGGG), the bracket literal is tokenized as a digit group. In both cases match is null, so Line 132 returns false. Lenient parsing then commits 1/24/2 - 10:30 AM as year 2 AD. Treat [...] segments as literals. Map only numeric tokens to digit groups. Use the same classification when you build tokens.

Add ambiguous-year cases for the datetime and week formats.

The current tests cover only pure date formats. A test such as parseDate('1/24/2 - 10:30 AM', 'L - LT') returning null would expose the gap in hasAmbiguousYear.

Add regression tests alongside the existing ambiguous-year cases for datetime
and week formats, asserting that `parseDate` returns null when the year contains
a single leftover digit; ensure the cases exercise the format tokens used by
those formats and cover `hasAmbiguousYear`.

Skip bracket-escaped literals when you expand long-date tokens.

LONG_DATE_FORMAT_TOKENS also matches inside [...] escapes. For example, [Deadline] L becomes [DeadM/D/YYYYine] .... The corrupted text then appears in the placeholder and the error message. Add \[[^\]]*\] as the first alternative in the regex and return those matches unchanged.

Update LONG_DATE_FORMAT_TOKENS and the format replacement callback so

Trim the input before you parse it.

A trailing space from a paste sets charsLeftOver > 0, so the code rejects a valid date. Flatpickr trims the same text on blur, so the two parsers disagree about it. Call date.trim() before moment(...) and before hasAmbiguousYear.

Trim the input in the date-parsing flow before passing it to `moment(...)` and
before calling `hasAmbiguousYear`, so surrounding whitespace does not cause
disagreement with Flatpickr’s blur behavior.

Commit typed text once, on blur or Enter, instead of on the input field's debounce, and bind Flatpickr to a hidden proxy input so it no longer parses or rewrites the field's text. Clearing a native input emits null again.

Ignore Enter during IME composition.

handleKeyDown blurs the input on every Enter. IME users (CJK) press Enter to confirm a composition candidate. That Enter blurs the field and commits partial text, and the parse error then shows while the user is still typing. Return early when event.isComposing is true or event.keyCode === 229.

🐛 Proposed fix
     private handleKeyDown = (event: KeyboardEvent) => {
-        if (event.key !== 'Enter' || this.disabled || this.readonly) {
+        if (
+            event.key !== 'Enter' ||
+            event.isComposing ||
+            event.keyCode === 229 ||
+            this.disabled ||
+            this.readonly
+        ) {
             return;
         }

This comment is based on a retrieved learning: "check e.nativeEvent.isComposing (or keyCode === 229) and ignore the Enter if true."

Skip highlighting when no date is selected.

When Picker.setValue clears the value, Flatpickr empties selectedDates but retains selectedDateElem. This guard therefore accepts the previous $i, and the loop highlights a week although the value is empty. Check this.flatpickr.selectedDates.length before using the selected index.
