Date Picker

The date picker uses Umbraco's own date picker view, but ensures that the view is configured for selecting a date without any time. The property editor should be used in situations where only the date matters, and as such it returns an instance of EssentialsDate instead of the normal DateTime.

The EssentialsDate class comes from our Limbo.Essentials package, which provides extended functionality for working with dates compared to DateTime.

Calling the ToString method on said class will result in a string representation of the date formatted using the ISO 8601 date format, which is yyyy-MM-dd - eg. 2020-08-07. The same format is used when serializing the value using Json.NET.

As of this time, the date picker currently doesn't have any prevalues (data type configuration).
