Is there a way to modify the location of the datepicker/calendar icon within my bootstrap form?

When using react-bootstrap with the <Form.Control type="date"> element, I noticed that the calendar icon or date picker is automatically positioned to the right side/end of the form field. However, I am interested in moving the calendar icon/date picker to the left/beginning of the form field, or having it immediately follow the selected date. I have attempted to locate the appropriate node_module to modify the CSS code for the calendar icon's position without success.

Does anyone have any insights on where I could make changes to the CSS, or perhaps suggest a better solution?

This is the current appearance of the form:

Is it possible to customize the appearance of the HTML5 Date picker?

After browsing through various responses on this issue, I found a solution that suited my needs. Here is how I tackled it:

  1. To begin, I crafted a new CSS file containing the following code --

    input[type="date"]::-webkit-calendar-picker-indicator {
  position: absolute;
  left: 0;
}

input::-webkit-datetime-edit {
  position: relative;
  left: 15px;
}

input::-webkit-datetime-edit-fields-wrapper {
  position: relative;
  left: 15px;
}

  2. Next, I included this CSS file in my form document and voila, the changes were applied seamlessly.

After following the advice of @Cody, I was able to fix the issue where the date value in the input box was floating to the right and out of place like this:

I made a small adjustment to the CSS for the left property within the edit class, which resolved the problem:

input[type="date"]::-webkit-calendar-picker-indicator { position: absolute; left: 0; }
input::-webkit-datetime-edit { position: relative; left: 0; }
input::-webkit-datetime-edit-fields-wrapper { position: relative; left: 0; }

Now, the input box looks correct after applying this change:

Answer №3

I was inspired by the style recommendations mentioned in this post: Exploring Style Possibilities for HTML5 Date picker

After some experimentation, I discovered a straightforward way to align the calendar to the left:

input[type="date"] {
   display: flex;
   flex-flow: row-reverse;
   padding: 8px;
   height: auto;
}

Answer №4

Appreciate your input. I implemented these adjustments to increase left padding on dates.

input[type="date"] {
    display: flex;
    flex-flow: row-reverse;
    padding: 8px;
    height: auto;
    position: relative;
}


input::-webkit-datetime-edit-fields-wrapper {
    position: relative;
    left: 15px;
}
