feat(DatePicker): Add DateTime support to DatePicker OR new DateTimePicker Component

[reminisc3]

Feature Description

Greetings,

I wanted to propose a new feature for the existing DatePicker OR to create a new extended component for "DateTimePicker".

I think the popular implementation for this is currently here:
https://github.com/h2qutc/angular-material-components/tree/master/projects/datetime-picker

However, the project has not been maintained and is only supported for <= Angular 16.

The request itself is straightforward, add "Time" support so that the user can select the Hour, Minutes, Seconds in addition to the date.

Use Case

Many applications have the requirement of the user selecting the full DateTime (Date, Hours, Mins, Secs) vs. just selecting only a basic date.

I support this feature request! Especially not only a combined "Date" and "Time" picker, but also a "Range" picker version of this. This would reduce the headache to manually create such an input or to rely on other package implementations for this.

Some updates on this topic -

1. Angular 19 has introduced a new TimePicker component. However, the UX and integration with DatePicker seems a little suspect. The integration example relies on displaying two separate inputs for Date and Time which IMO will look odd on a form with other fields. I still think it's worth considering having an official component which implements both in a single form input/control.

2. The DateTimePicker implemented by h2qutc will no longer compile for Angular 19. It's broken as of now.

However, the author claims to be adding support for newer Angular Material versions soon:
h2qutc/angular-material-components#405

I support this feature request! Especially not only a combined "Date" and "Time" picker, but also a "Range" picker version of this. This would reduce the headache to manually create such an input or to rely on other package implementations for this.

100% agreed here. Having an official component supported by the official project would cut down on relying on depending on these 3rd party deps. I'm by no means diminishing the efforts of these 3rd party package authors - but it makes upgrading impossible unless you are willing try to find a suitable fork or do the work yourself.

Agree with everything above. I am waiting for this "feature" for a long time.
