            <mdb-date-picker

            name: 'DatePickerPage',
            components: {
              mdbDatePicker,
              mdbTimePicker,
              mdbInput
            },
            methods: {
              handlePickersValue() {
                let output = 'Pick date and time'
                if (this.datePickerValue && this.timePickerValue) output = `${this.datePickerValue}, ${this.timePickerValue}`
                else if (this.datePickerValue) output = this.datePickerValue
                else if (this.timePickerValue) output = this.timePickerValue
                return output
              }
            },
            data() {
              return {
                datePickerValue: '',
                timePickerValue: ''
              }
