`IgxDateRangePickerComponent` is imported from `igniteui-angular/date-picker`.

In the two-input configuration:

- place the `input` directly inside `igx-date-range-start` and `igx-date-range-end`
- use `igx-picker-toggle igxPrefix` for the calendar action
- use `igx-picker-clear igxSuffix` for the clear action

A plain `igx-prefix` or `igx-suffix` with an `igx-icon` is decorative only and does not trigger picker actions.
Do not wrap the inputs in an additional `igx-input-group`.

**Avoid these patterns in two-input mode:**

- `<igx-prefix><igx-icon>calendar_today</igx-icon></igx-prefix>`

- placing the toggle on only one input unless explicitly requested

Common two-input configuration with calendar toggles:

```html
<igx-date-range-picker [(ngModel)]="dateRange">
<igx-date-range-start>
<igx-picker-toggle igxPrefix>
<igx-icon>calendar_today</igx-icon>
</igx-picker-toggle>
<label igxLabel>Start Date</label>
<input igxInput igxDateTimeEditor type="text" />
<igx-picker-clear igxSuffix>
<igx-icon>clear</igx-icon>
</igx-picker-clear>
</igx-date-range-start>

<igx-date-range-end>
<igx-picker-toggle igxPrefix>
<igx-icon>calendar_today</igx-icon>
</igx-picker-toggle>
<label igxLabel>End Date</label>
<input igxInput igxDateTimeEditor type="text" />
<igx-picker-clear igxSuffix>
<igx-icon>clear</igx-icon>
</igx-picker-clear>
</igx-date-range-end>
</igx-date-range-picker>
```

- **Always check `app.config.ts` first** — add `provideAnimations()` before using Combo, Select, Date Picker, or any overlay component
- **Import from specific entry points** — avoid the root `igniteui-angular` barrel
- Date/Time pickers implement both `ControlValueAccessor` and `Validator` — they integrate with reactive forms natively
- For `igx-date-range-picker` with separate start and end inputs, use this structure for both inputs: `igx-picker-toggle igxPrefix`, then `input igxInput igxDateTimeEditor`, then optional `igx-picker-clear igxSuffix`.
- Do not use a plain `igx-prefix` / `igx-suffix` icon for calendar or clear actions.
