How to configure an exposed filter in a view using a date picker? How can I configure an exposed filter so that users can filter my site content by creation date, preferably using a date picker? 

I tried using Content: Authored on as filter, but it gets me a text field to enter the date to enter a date/time in the yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss format, which makes entering the date more difficult for users and more error prone.

What is the difference between Drupal 8 and Drupal 7 with Views 7.x-3?
You can use the Date Popup module.


  Adds the native HTML 5 date popup widget to all date fields in views
  filters.


As the Use form element of type date instead textfield when selecting a date in an exposed filter is still in progress.
