Summary

Ionic's version 6.0.0 introduces a revamped Datetime component, addressing user feedback and aligning with iOS and Material design guidelines. Unlike its predecessor in v5, which required interaction through an overlay, the new Datetime component can now be displayed inline, offering a more modern and flexible user interface similar to iOS’s calendar app. This update allows for better customization through properties such as the new presentation property, which replaces the older displayFormat property, enabling developers to specify exactly what to display, whether it's a date, time, or a combination. Additionally, the component can be rendered in overlays like modals and popovers for improved user experience, and it's compatible with Angular, React, Vue, and vanilla JavaScript. This overhaul aims to enhance performance and user interaction, especially on lower-end devices, by eliminating the need for JavaScript scrolling, while also providing a more intuitive and visually appealing design.
