The component allows users to select a date and/or time directly within an application interface. It presents a user-friendly, visual representation of a calendar or a clock face, enabling precise selection. For example, within a scheduling application, the component facilitates choosing appointment dates and times.
Its significance lies in enhancing user experience by streamlining data input. This avoids manual entry, which reduces errors and saves time. Historically, developers relied on custom solutions, often resulting in inconsistencies across different applications. Standardized components, such as the one under discussion, bring uniformity and improved accessibility.
