Update DatePickerInput value after the popover is closed

[Winand]

I use dash 3.0.2, dash-mantine-components 1.1.1.

Is it somehow possible to update DatePickerInput value after its popover is closed? I want to trigger an update when a user selects a date range and clicks outside of the date picker popover.

    dmc.DatePickerInput(w=250, type="range", numberOfColumns=2, maxDate=rng_dates[1],
                        columnsToScroll=1, allowSingleDateInRange=True,
                        closeOnChange=False, minDate=rng_dates[0],  # debounce=True,
                        value=def_dates, id="datepicker",
                        ),

I've tried debounce but I don't like that it triggers value update only when the date picker loses focus. #496
Maybe it's possible to use popover's opened property? #353

Typically, when you click outside the input field loses focus, so debounce=True should work. If not have you considered adding an enter button?

On the first click popover closes but the input field remains focused, on the second click it loses focus and "value" event fires.

No, I don't want an additional button click. I can simply update data every time I change start\end date, because it's a local application with a small database. But it would be good if I could reduce the number of requests by half.

But in theory is it possible to provide opened property in future releases? Or it depends on implementation in Mantine project?

We are not planning on adding an opened property. This functionality could be handled when we add the ability to have functions as props. Then you would be able to pass a function to the onOpen and onClose props using the PopoverProps.

I'll add a note to #356 and close this issue as a duplicate.
