### Feature Description
Currently `DateAdapter` is designed to work with instances of the same time for date and time, this is how JavaScript Date works and many other replacement libraries do too. Many libraries have noticed this is not always desirable. Java got the external Joda-Time library that became the model for the modern java.time replacement. On the JavaScript side I use js-joda, a port of the original Java Joda-Time library
Much like the new Temporal API, these libraries have aditional split representations of a date and a time, `LocalDate` and `LocalTime` and `LocalDateTime` when you need both without a timezone attached to it.
The Temporal API, brings these kind of types to JavaScript with `PlainDate`, `PlainTime` and `PlainDateTime` (better naming than the Local prefix).
`DateAdapter` is not designed to have a date picker with a LocalDate/PlainDate and a time picker with a LocalTime/PlainTime. Yes you can make it work but it requires a few hacks, for example the time parts on my js-joda adapter.
```ts
isDateInstance(obj: unknown): boolean {
return obj instanceof LocalDate || obj instanceof LocalTime;
}
isValid(date: LocalDate): boolean {
return date !== INVALID_VALUE;
}
invalid(): LocalDate {
return INVALID_VALUE;
}
override compareDate(first: LocalDate, second: LocalDate): number {
return first.compareTo(second);
}
override sameDate(first: LocalDate | null, second: LocalDate | null): boolean {
if (first != null && second != null) {
// WORKAROUND to allow generating the list of times in the time picker
if (first instanceof LocalTime && second instanceof LocalTime) {
return true;
}
return first.equals(second);
}
return (first ?? null) === (second ?? null);
}
override setTime(_target: LocalDate, hours: number, minutes: number, seconds: number): LocalDate {
return LocalTime.of(hours, minutes, seconds) as unknown as LocalDate;
}
override getHours(date: LocalDate): number {
return (date as unknown as LocalTime).hour();
}
override getMinutes(date: LocalDate): number {
return (date as unknown as LocalTime).minute();
}
override getSeconds(date: LocalDate): number {
return (date as unknown as LocalTime).second();
}
override addSeconds(date: LocalDate, amount: number): LocalDate {
const time = date as unknown as LocalTime;
const remainingSeconds = SECONDS_PER_DAY - time.toSecondOfDay();
if (remainingSeconds < amount) {
return INVALID_VALUE;
}
return time.plusSeconds(amount) as unknown as LocalDate;
}
```
Notice there is a lot of unsafe casting because the subclass extends `DateAdapter`, it will have less casting if it was `DateAdapter` but that would need more type checks on methods exclusively used by the date picker.
The API changes required are resumed in:
- The adapter should be split in two or have a different type for the time. I prefer to split the adapter, because that way there could be multiple combinations of adapters for PlainDate, PlainTime, Instant (for date and for time pickers) in Temporal API for example.
- js-joda/Temporal API has no concept of an invalid Local/Plain object, their constructors throw exceptions, So I have to hack a fake date `INVALID_VALUE` as an specific instance with a very big year, to use as an invalid value. So the logic that requires an invalid value should change, for example the time picker uses `isValid()` to stop the loop that builds the times to show.
- `addSeconds()`and `setTime()` should not tie a time to date ever, if possible start with a start time.
Making these changes backward compatible will be a challenge, but I think it is needed to make usable the Temporal API Plain classes with the pickers.

Inizia tracciando l’API DateAdapter fino ai punti di ingresso di date picker e time picker. Confronta le attuali assunzioni condivise su data/ora con i tipi separati richiesti per data e ora, la gestione dei valori non validi e il comportamento di addSeconds/setTime. Il lavoro è completato quando esistono un design dell’API retrocompatibile e un piano di implementazione che supportino LocalDate/PlainDate con LocalTime/PlainTime senza cast non sicuri.
