TimePicker

The ui5-time-picker component provides an input field with assigned clocks which are opened on user action. The ui5-time-picker allows users to select a localized time using touch, mouse, or keyboard input. It consists of two parts: the time input field and the clocks.

Usage​

The user can enter a time by:

  • Using the clocks that are displayed in a popup
  • Typing it in directly in the input field

When the user makes an entry and chooses the enter key, the clocks show the corresponding time (hours, minutes and seconds separately). When the user directly triggers the clocks display, the actual time is displayed. For the ui5-time-picker

Formatting​

If a time is entered by typing it into the input field, it must fit to the used time format.

Supported format options are pattern-based on Unicode LDML Date Format notation. For more information, see UTS #35: Unicode Locale Data Markup Language.

For example, if the format-pattern is "HH:mm:ss", a valid value string is "11:42:35" and the same is displayed in the input.
