Hi,  
I have a requirement to allow the user to easily pick a single date from a date picker and this should effectively apply an absolute range filter for the day from 00:00:00.000 to 23:59:59.999. The Kibana Absolute date picker allows this but its quite inconvenient to be adjusting both dates to get to this range each time the user needs to pick a date.

Does anyone know of such an existing plugin? If not I will try to build one and would like to get suggestions on a good starting point. For example does kibana pre-bundle any library that has a date picker? If not, I could use jQuery or Bootstrap but suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,  
Sanjiv

Kibana does come with the datepicker in angular-bootstrap (0.12), see [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/8eed97b69fa71e096c04a01ae1b26efa641fec85/src/ui/public/angular-bootstrap/datepicker/datepicker.js](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/8eed97b69fa71e096c04a01ae1b26efa641fec85/src/ui/public/angular-bootstrap/datepicker/datepicker.js). A good starting point for plugins is [https://www.elastic.co/elasticon/conf/2016/sf/how-to-build-your-own-kibana-plugins](https://www.elastic.co/elasticon/conf/2016/sf/how-to-build-your-own-kibana-plugins), and checking out kibana's core plugins. These use the same API's as external plugins and you can be fairly confident they are up to date. The folder for those is [here](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/tree/master/src/core_plugins).

Thanks, I'll give it a shot!
