  • Cannot say as i have not used it but believe it should be working in hook_views_query_alter(). For that, use datepicker in corresponding view and alter the view query inside the hook

I had a similar problem and the solution I did was to add a date Picker to that page or view or exposed form and hide the current field in the twig file and add another with datepicker added to it

You can add a library to that view

function YOUR_THEME_NAME_preprocess_views_view(array &$variables) {
  if (isset($variables['view'])) {
    if ($variables['view']->id() == "VIEW_ID") {
      if ($variables['view']->getDisplay()->display['id'] == "VIEW_DISPLAY_ID") {
        $variables['#attached']['library'][] = 'YOUR_THEME_NAME/date-picker';
      }
    }
  }
}

It is explained in this answer: How to configure an exposed filter in a view using a date picker?

In 7 you can do this with Better Exposed Filters by selecting the jQuery UI datepicker option in the screen of your screenshot. There is an alpha out for 8.

The Better Exposed Filters module replaces the Views' default single- or multi-select boxes with radio buttons or checkboxes, respectively. Description fields and Select All/None links can be added to exposed filters to make for a better user experience.

Views Filters is a powerful tool to refine the results returned by a given view. When you expose a filter, you allow the user to interact with the view making it easy to build a customized, advanced search. For example, exposing the node type field as a filter lets your site visitor limit their search queries to just blog entries. Better Exposed Filters gives you greater control over the rendering of exposed filters.

    I know, so try the module for 8. It's alpha but actively developed.
