lightning_component:
  name: ''
  url: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/component-library/overview/components
  mapping_notes: No direct Lightning Base Component - use lightning-input with type='datetime-local' or custom implementation
accessibility:
  keyboard_support:
  - Tab to navigate between date and time inputs
  - Enter or Space to open dropdown menus
  - Arrow keys to navigate calendar dates or time options
  - Escape to close dropdown menus
  screen_reader:
  - Date format message announced when date field receives focus
  - Selected date and time announced
  - Calendar navigation announced
  - Time options announced when navigating
  aria_attributes:
  - role='combobox' on combobox element (desktop only)
  - aria-expanded on dropdown trigger
  - aria-haspopup on combobox
  - aria-controls on input (desktop only)
  - aria-autocomplete on input (desktop only)
  - role='textbox' on input (desktop only)
  - aria-describedby for date format messages
  - Remove ARIA attributes on mobile when using datetime-local input type
usage_guidelines:
  when_to_use:
  - When users need to select both a date and time
  - For scheduling appointments or events
  - When precise datetime selection is required
  - For form inputs requiring date and time together
  when_not_to_use:
  - When only date is needed (use datepicker)
  - When only time is needed (use timepicker)
  - In data table cells (use popover instead)
  - When space is very limited
  best_practices:
  - Use native datetime-local input on mobile devices
  - Provide clear date format guidance
  - Use required indicators with legends for required fields
  - Ensure proper ARIA attributes for desktop, remove for mobile native inputs
  - Provide visual feedback for selected date and time
  - Handle timezone considerations appropriately
  common_mistakes:
  - Using in data table cells without popover
  - Not removing ARIA attributes on mobile native inputs
  - Missing date format guidance
  - Not handling timezone correctly
  - Inadequate keyboard navigation support
