How do I simulate placeholder functionality on input date field?

by

I’m using the following CSS only trick:

  input[type="date"]:before {
    content: attr(placeholder) !important;
    color: #aaa;
    margin-right: 0.5em;
  }
  input[type="date"]:focus:before,
  input[type="date"]:valid:before {
    content: "";
  }
<input type="date" placeholder="Choose a Date" />
