Describe the feature request. | Décrivez la fonctionnalité demandée
I’d like to request the addition of a datepicker component that can be available for us to use. This feature would allow users to easily select a date from a visual calendar rather than manually typing one in, improving user experience and reducing input errors.
Desired Features: Calendar-style UI for selecting a date
Configurable date format (e.g., YYYY-MM-DD, MM/DD/YYYY)
Option to set min/max selectable dates
Support for default/pre-selected date
Accessibility-friendly (keyboard navigation, screen reader support)
Describe the use case. | Décrivez les cas d’utilisation
Our application includes numerous date input fields, each governed by different business rules—some require restricting past dates, while others disallow future dates. A centralized, configurable datepicker component would help enforce these rules uniformly, across all government agencies who wish to use this component.

Describe all alternatives. | Décrivez toutes les solutions possibles
Right now we're using a custom datepicker but would be beneficial if we can streamline the look and feel of datepicker across all government web applications.

There is another issue opened asking about when we'll have a Date Picker here in #902. If this is a component you'd also like, could you react on the description with a thumbs up emoji? Thank you.
