Summary
The HTMLInputElement showPicker() method allows web developers to
programmatically show a browser picker for temporal, color, and file
inputs.
Blink component

<https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/list?q=component:Blink%3EForms>
Motivation
Developers have been asking for years for a way to programmatically
open a browser date picker.
Seehttps://www.google.com/search?q=programmatically+open+date+picker+site:stackoverflow.com
<https://www.google.com/search?q=programmatically+open+date+picker+site%3Astackoverflow.com>
Because of that, they had to rely on custom widget libraries and CSS
hacks for specific browsers.
This is really cool - thanks for working on it. I was just thinking
about the EyeDropper API proposal, which references input[type=color] in
https://github.com/WICG/eyedropper-api/blob/main/README.md#extending-inputtypecolor.
As a developer, it would be kind of nice to only have one method to keep
in my head - did you consider aligning the method name w/ the EyeDropper
API? (Also, if we did decide there was a use case for <select>
<https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/6909#issuecomment-888859929>,
open() would be less awkward than HTMLSelectElement.showPicker).
later,
Mike
