Server: datepicker: fast switching between years

[johkoenig]

I'm reporting this on server because what I've read from other issues is that the picker itself is provided by server, no matter where it is used (e.g. calendar, contacts).

Expected behaviour

Add a possibility to switch the year fast. Here are two examples from a quick search on google images how this could be achieved:

Actual behaviour

In current date picker, scrolling is only possible per month. This is not user friendly when dates in the far past or future must be picked. For example, even picking the same date a year from now needs 12 mouse clicks.

Server configuration

Nextcloud version: 14.0.3

The datepicker we use on vue have pretty decent year/month picker integrated as well.
So I'm guessing we can close this when most of our code using a datepicker also uses it :)

Let's close then :)
