Can we set name on the date picker in date+time picker? about react-widgets

So there isn't a way currently, but it isn't difficult to add if needed. Can I ask why you want to set the name? The only reason i can think of is for form submission, in which case you are going to run into larger issues. The values in the inputs are not particularly formatted for form submission, since they are the human readable string representations of the typed value (Date, Number, etc).

One of the key advantages of react is that it allows you to keep all your state out of the DOM, and the widgets are built with that mindset. To that point I am not inclined to maintaining a nameable-submit-able input in each widget, as it creates two sources of truth. In single page apps I've done iI have always managed form submission manually (to do it async, etc) so I haven't run across this. I am definitely open to hearing your use case though.

yep, exactly

right, moment.js to the rescue

yep, agreed. still would be nice to have the property available if a third party lib is interacting with it.

this isn't really a dealbreaker, i can definitely fork and implement. just flagging :)

Interop is something i didn't think about...I would be happy to make sure that the name prop gets passed down to the input tag. This does lead to an inconsistently with the dropdown and select widgets which don't have backing inputs with their values in them to name, although that may not bother you
