/**
 * With the {@link UwcInputElement#type | `[type]`} attribute set to `"date"` [`<uwc-input>`](../uwc-input.ts)
 * will render a date input.
 *
 * ## Plain date input
 *
 * @example
 *
 * ```html
 * <uwc-input type="date"></uwc-input>
 * ```
 *
 * ## Specify a locale
 *
 * Similar to [`<uwc-input type="number">`](./number.ts) this will format its value according to the closest `[lang]` attribute.
 *
 * @example
 *
 * ```html
 * <uwc-input lang="de" type="date"></uwc-input>
 * ```
 *
 * ## Custom formats
 *
 * You can also configure a custom format pattern by specifying a valid [format string](https://date-fns.org/v4.1.0/docs/lightFormat)
 * for the {@link UwcInputElement#pattern | `[pattern]`} attribute.
 *
 * @example
 *
 * ```html
 * <uwc-input type="date" pattern="yyyy-MM-dd"></uwc-input>
 * ```
 *
 * ## Custom placeholders
 *
 * It is possible to customize the placeholder as long as the "separators" (the bits that don't represent a value part)
 * match the current {@link UwcInputElement#pattern | `[pattern]`}.
 *
 * @example
 *
 * ```html
 * <uwc-input type="date" lang="en" placeholder="Month/Day/Years"></uwc-input>
 * ```
 *
 * ## Default placeholders
 *
 * Because it is rather tedious to specify a placeholder everywhere just because your app
 * requires a different placeholder than the standard you can also override the default placeholder.
 *
 * Just keep in mind that this is not reactive, so you should do this once for your whole app.
 *
 * @example
 *
 * ```ts
 * // specified per locale
 * UwcInputElement.config.date.defaults["en-US"] = {
 *   pattern: "yyyy/MM/dd", // a sensible default
 *   placeholder: "YYYY/MM/DD",
 * }
 * ```
 *
 * ## Time components
 *
 * --- TO BE DONE ---
 *
 * Because the format string can also include time components it is possible to use this type for date _and_ time inputs.
 *
 * @example
 *
 * ```html
 * <uwc-input type="date" pattern="yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm"></uwc-input>
 * ```
 *
 * ## Customize datepicker
 *
 * Since this type simply utilizes a [popup](../parts/popover.ts) which you can provide before initialization
 * it is possible to provide your own datepicker for example.
 *
 * @example
 *
 * ```html
 * <uwc-input type="date">
 *   <dialog popover>
 *     <ul>
 *       <li data-value="2024-10-10">10th. of October</li>
 *     </ul>
 *   </dialog>
 * </uwc-input>
 * ```
 *
