Description

We'd like to see the possibility to open calendar popup on focus event in the future versions of Vaadin.

Possible interface could be this:

 public abstract class AbstractDateField {
      ...
      private boolean openCalendarOnFocus = false;
      ...
      public void setOpenCalendarOnFocus(boolean openCalendarOnFocus) {
          this.openCalendarOnFocus = openCalendarOnFocus;
      }
 }

Or even this (to provide more control to users):

 public abstract class AbstractDateField {
      ...
      public void openCalendar() {
          ...
      }
 }
 ...
 dateField.addFocusListener((FieldEvents.FocusListener) event -> dateField.openCalendar());
