Add relative date picker
rclement opened this issue · comments
Context
- It would be nice to set a default value for date-based filters such as "Last Month", automatically adjusting the dashboard given the current date
- When exploring metrics on a dashboard, selecting canonical date ranges is tedious (current day/month/quarter/semester/year, past day/month/quarter/semester/year)
Technical details
- Native HTML date input components are basic and do not let select relative dates
- Datasette offers column filters arguments for queries
- Date Range Picker is a JS component providing extensive options for relative and range based date filtering
