Explainer

None yet; see
https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/6909#issuecomment-956747809 for a
rough explanation of the behavior, which we will turn into a proper
explainer before shipping.

Specification

None yet (will be specified in whatwg/html)

Summary

The HTMLInputElement showPicker() method allows web developers to
programmatically show a browser picker for temporal, color, and file inputs.

Blink component

Blink>Forms
<https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/list?q=component:Blink%3EForms>

Motivation

Developers have been asking for years for a way to programmatically open a
browser date picker. See
https://www.google.com/search?q=programmatically+open+date+picker+site:stackoverflow.com
<https://www.google.com/search?q=programmatically+open+date+picker+site%3Astackoverflow.com>

Because of that, they had to rely on custom widget libraries and CSS hacks
for specific browsers.

Initial public proposal

https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/6909

TAG review

None yet; we will file during the prototyping phase once an explainer/spec
draft is ready.

TAG review status

Risks
Interoperability and Compatibility

Gecko: No official signal yet; general agreement this seemed like a
reasonable idea on the HTML triage call. See
https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/6936

WebKit: No signal

Web developers: No signal

Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests
<https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/testing/web_platform_tests.md>
?

No. We are able to test the error case behaviors but the actual showing of
the picker is not testable using WPT.

Requires code in //chrome?

False
