Shiny Rhandsontable - date entry

Hello everyone,

I am using rhandsontable and would like to change the date entry drop down so that it has similar functionality to the dateInput Shiny field entry that brings up the calendar but can have the "startview" option be selected to "decade" or "month." The default in the rhandsontable brings up a calendar that has all days of the current month appear and allows the selection of the years and months from a drop down when either are clicked on at the top of the calendar. Is it possible to modify the rhandsontable version to change the start view? Would this require calling upon a javascript function such as Handsontable.editors.DatePickerEditor.call?

I would greatly appreciate any help with this!

Thank you.
