The InputDate field is a form element containing a label and a date input field with an optional placeholder attribute. The date input field is restricted to numeric characters only.

- Field: The area or box that holds the input.
- Label: The text above the field that describes the information needed.
- Placeholder (optional): The gray text in the field that hints at the format of the information required.
- Help message (optional): The text below the field that helps a user understand the input and successfully enter a correct value.
- Error message (conditional): The text below the input field and the help message shown when an error has occurred.

In general all input components should be controlled, which means their value is passed into the component, and state is maintained within the React component as opposed to using refs from the DOM.
Although generally required, default to ''.
