ion-datepicker Use Icons with or instead of Text Labels

Ionic version:

[x] 5.x

I'm submitting a ...

[ ] bug report
[x] feature request

Current behavior:

Currently I am able to send custom PickerOption buttons into the ion-datetime component. However, I'd like to be able to include an icon with these or use an icon instead of the text label altogether. Currently there doesn't seem to be a way to do this.

Expected behavior:

As an example, I would like the options to replace the Close / Done / Any buttons with a relevant icon. I would also like the ability to have both an icon and a label for the button.

Steps to reproduce:

N/A

Related code:

this.customPickerOptions = { buttons: [ { text: 'Switch Calendar', cssClass: 'switch-btn', handler: () => { this.switchCalendar(); } }, { text: 'Cancel', handler: () => { } }, { text: 'Done', handler: (value) => { } } ] }

<ion-datetime #dateTimePicker [pickerOptions]="customPickerOptions" formControlName="validDate" displayFormat="DD MMM YYYY" [min]="getToday('YYYY-MM-DD')" [max]="getMaxValidDate()"></ion-datetime>
