Input - In the input field, the user can enter a date directly or select it using the date picker.

Calendar Picker -The date picker calendar lets users pick a date using touch, mouse, or keyboard input. The control also allows users to navigate directly from one month or year to another.
The current day and the selected date are highlighted as follows:
A month may start/end at the beginning/end of the week but not necessarily. This means that slots from previous or next months will be shown using a different color.

Best practices
Provide a help text that gives the user an idea of the required date format is a way of preventing input errors.
Do not prevent the user from inserting other separators than slashes (dots, for example). Replace those to slashes when the user finishes entering the date.
