I'd prefer to use normal Bootstrap, but this "bootstrap-datepicker" module thingo looks like it can tweak the datepicker in the way I'm after, and even has a cool live demo and code generation page.

Is there any simple datepicker package that allows to select year/month with a dropdown? (like jQuery UI)
1 project | /r/webdev | 26 Jan 2023

There are bootstrap date pickers, for example https://bootstrap-datepicker.readthedocs.io/en/latest/, but it requires JQuery. There's also a very lightweight library, Pickaday (https://github.com/Pikaday/Pikaday). Theres no shortage of controls out there, you just need to balance weight and dependencies vs. the features you are looking for.
Chrome 99 will ship with the HTMLInputElement showPicker() method - show a browser picker for <input> elements with these types: "date", "month", "week", "time", "datetime-local", "color", and "file"
