Simple

{
  type: 'datetime',
  name: 'date',
  label: 'Date'
}

Custom Format

You can customize the format that the date field use by customizing the dateFormat & parse properties.

{
  label: "Date",
  name: "date",
  type: "datetime",
      ui: {
    dateFormat: 'YY-MM-DD',
      parse: (value) => value && value.format('YY-MM-DD'),
  },
}

Using a Time Picker

You can add a timepicker to the date UI by supplying the ui.timeFormat property

{
  label: "Date",
  name: "date",
  type: "datetime",
      ui: {
    timeFormat: "HH:mm"
  },
}
