I want to give empty value as default value to datetimepicker. To do this, i tried to set its value to null/undefined/empty string as first value, however it shows invalid date message. How can i set an initial value as empty string? I couldn't see in docs or in examples.
```
the alarmStartTimeKeyword1's value is set to null / undefined or empty string in constructor.
placeholder="GG.AA.YYYY SS:DD"
className = {classes.time}
keyboard = {true}
keyboardIcon = {
invalidDateMessage = {Translator.t('Invalid Date Format')}
animateYearScrolling={true}
ampm={false}
returnMoment={false}
format="DD.MM.YYYY HH:mm"
value = {this.state.alarmStartTimeKeyword1}
onChange = {this.handleDate('alarmStartTimeKeyword1')}
timeIcon = {
dateRangeIcon = {
leftArrowIcon = {
rightArrowIcon = {
okLabel = {Translator.t('ok')}
cancelLabel = {Translator.t('cancel')}
/>
```

Not to give invalid date message for default value if its empty
Same here, somehow the patch release was a breaking release for us :)
Setting value={''} now automatically triggers the Invalid Date Format error.
~I'll try to submit a pr asap.~ Just realized this would be a functional change which should be discussed.

There is a issue #125.
From a fast look it's a bug.
Maybe introduced in #188
@sakulstra how can i set datetimepicker's value empty for default value? think that i have a page which has some filter parameters and one of the filter parameter comes from that datetimepicker. and because of i cant set its value to empty in initial state, filtering could not work as expected.
so if its not a bug which an empty value could not be set to datetimepicker as an initial state, and it should be something that must be discussed, there must be a best-practice to handle that issue which i faced with during development.
Just submitted a fix for that - #199
