How to show calendar popup when input[type=”date”] is on focus

by

For anyone who stumbles across this, I solved it (webkit only firefox also seems to respect this) by making the calendar-picker-indicator the full height and width of the input, as outlined here.

.input-container input {
    border: none;
    box-sizing: border-box;
    outline: 0;
    padding: .75rem;
    position: relative;
    width: 100%;
}

input[type="date"]::-webkit-calendar-picker-indicator {
    background: transparent;
    bottom: 0;
    color: transparent;
    cursor: pointer;
    height: auto;
    left: 0;
    position: absolute;
    right: 0;
    top: 0;
    width: auto;
}
<input type="date">
