AI Date Input is a smart date detection React component. It uses natural language processing to interpret various date and time inputs, providing a seamless user experience for date entry.

• Real-time date and time detection as you type
• Supports a wide range of date and time formats
• Displays detected date in a formatted output
• Shows both the parsed date and the original input text
• Clean, minimalist UI with a clear input field
• One-click clear functionality

The AI Date Input uses the chrono-node library to parse natural language date and time expressions. As the user types, the input is continuously analyzed, and when a valid date or time is detected, it's displayed below the input field.

The detected date is shown in two formats:

1. A formatted date and time (e.g., "09/09/2024 02:27 PM")
2. The original text that was interpreted as a date (e.g., "5 days from now")

To use this component in Val Town:

1. Create a new val or edit an existing one
2. Copy and paste the entire code into the val
3. Save the val
4. Access the val's URL to see the AI Date Input in action

You can customize the appearance and behavior of the AI Date Input:

• Modify the Tailwind CSS classes in the HTML to change the styling
• Adjust the date formatting in the formatDate function
• Change the parsing behavior by modifying the detectDate function

• React 18
• chrono-node (for date parsing)
• Tailwind CSS (for styling)

• The component uses server-side rendering for the initial HTML
• Client-side JavaScript handles the interactive features
• Date parsing is done in real-time on the client-side
