DatePicker

Component in Material 3 Compose

Material Design date picker

Date pickers let people select a date and preferably should be embedded into Dialogs. See [DatePickerDialog].

By default, a date picker lets you pick a date via a calendar UI. However, it also allows switching into a date input mode for a manual entry of dates using the numbers on a keyboard.
