I think we can just use a Button + Popover + Calendar for this instead of implementing:

Why are you not considering adding a DateField to the DatePicker?

I'm a bit hesitant on this actually, are date pickers not mostly used with buttons instead of inputs? 🤔

If buttons do have the edge, it's not by much, in my experience. In companies related to booking trains and flights, it's about even - some allow you to fill in fields directly, others use only buttons.

I agree with @mehaac

My vision of the component: DateField with scope slot #default, by default it is UInput, whoever needs it will pass UButton to it.

<script setup lang="ts">
const date = ref(new Date())
</script>

<template>
  <!-- Default -->
  <UDatePicker v-model="date" />

  <!-- Replace UInput to UButton -->
  <UDatePicker>
    <template #default="{ open, date }">
      <UButton :label="date.toLocaleDateString()" @click="open = true" />
    </template>
  </UDatePicker>
</template>

Renaming this InputDate for consistency with InputNumber.

For ergonomics and speed on desktop, the keyboard input and navigation of the Reka UI Date Picker and Date Range Picker is way superior to just a calendar in a popup, IMO.
