Expo Web support

[ltaljaard]

There are no decent Date / Time pickers available for Expo Web. Is it on the roadmap to add support for Expo Web?

I was thinking the same. More discussion at https://github.com/mmazzarolo/react-native-modal-datetime-picker

Feel free to chime in there.

I have posted some code that could be used to add support for Expo Web/React Native Web - or a separate npm module could be created if you don't want to integrate it into react-native-datetimepicker: https://github.com/mmazzarolo/react-native-modal-datetime-picker/issues/481

Hello!
adding web support is not on the roadmap (we don't have an official roadmap).

I personally don't have such plans because it means one more thing to maintain 😄 (I don't want to do that, we struggle with what we have now) and because of #313.

If someone steps in and says "We need web support because of X and Y and I'll implement it and keep maintaining the code, docs and tests" then maybe yes. But at the moment I'm not convinced we should have web support..? I bet there are dozens of react date pickers for the web, with gazillion of configuration options that may not be available on all platforms and people will (understandably!) complain that some option is only available on web, and not on ios and android...
I think if people choose whichever datepicker they want for web, and then use it, is better than us forcing some datepicker on them. BUT at the same time I haven't done any research on this and I haven't had a thorough discussion.

I understand people want web support (because they want to have one interface to pick dates - and that is the only reason I see for doing this), but before we do anything, I'd like to see someone think about it more deeply than that and lay out arguments for why we should support web and what are the alternatives of how it should be done.

Thank you, hope you understand!

Sure, that's understandable 😀
