How to Trigger Date-Picker with Custom Button

Got it, let's get that custom button to trigger your date-picker working! Since your existing input uses an AngularJS-based date-time directive, here are straightforward ways to make this happen:

Step 1: Add a Trigger Method in Your Controller

First, create a function in your AngularJS controller that handles opening the date-picker. We'll start with the simplest approach (triggering the input's focus event—most date-pickers open when their input is focused) and include a fallback for directive-specific methods:

// Inside your AngularJS controller
$scope.openDatePicker = function() {
  // Get the date-picker input element
  const pickerInput = document.getElementById('pickerFromDate');
  
  // First try: Trigger focus (works for most date-picker implementations)
  pickerInput.focus();
  
  // If focus doesn't work, check if the directive exposes an open method
  // Uncomment and adjust this line if needed (depends on your date-picker library)
  // pickerInput.dateTimePicker.open();
};

Step 2: Bind the Method to Your Custom Button

Add an ng-click directive to your custom button, linking it to the function we just created:

<!-- Your custom button -->
<button ng-click="openDatePicker()" class="your-custom-btn-styles">
  Pick Date
</button>

Extra Notes

Scope Check: Make sure your button and the date-picker input are in the same AngularJS scope (so the openDatePicker function is accessible).
Directive API: If focusing the input doesn't work, check the details of your date-time directive—many libraries expose explicit methods (like open(), show(), or custom events) to programmatically trigger the picker. Replace the focus() call with that method if needed.
Cleaner AngularJS Trigger: You can also use AngularJS's element service to trigger events more seamlessly:
```
angular.element(document.getElementById('pickerFromDate')).trigger('focus');
```
