how to change magento 2 date.js form file

Question

I want to change :

magento/module-ui/view/base/web/js/form/element/date.js file

and set my custom date file , for this purpose I've added this line to my requirejs-config in my module :

'map': {
    '*': {
        'Magento_Ui/js/form/element/date' : 'MyNamespace_MyModule/js/date_form'
    }
},

but when I refresh page I get this error in console :

Uncaught TypeError: elem.initContainer is not a function at UiClass.initElement (collection.js:57)

and magento can't load date input element .

I think the problem is this part at date.js :

elementTmpl: 'ui/form/element/date',

it seems magento can't find this path for load it's html template .

I changed template path to this :

elementTmpl: 'Magento_Ui/form/element/date',

but noting changed .

how can I change this path base on my module ?

note : I don't want change date.html template file and I want to use magento default template file .

It is better to put your custom date.js on the same path level of core date.js like this

'map': { 
    '*': { 

        'Magento_Ui/js/form/element/date' : 'MyNamespace_MyModule/js/form/element/date' 
      }
 },
