Time field

The time field component captures time input through direct text entry. Use it when merchants know the exact time they want to enter or for quick time data entry.

For visual time selection with clock or spinner interfaces, use time picker.

Anchor to PropertiesProperties

Configure the following properties on the time field component.

Anchor to details
details
string

Additional text to provide context or guidance for the field. This text is displayed along with the field and its label to offer more information or instructions to the user.

This will also be exposed to screen reader users.

Anchor to disabled
disabled
boolean
Default: false

Disables the field, disallowing any interaction.

Anchor to error
error
string

Indicate an error to the user. The field will be given a specific stylistic treatment to communicate problems that have to be resolved immediately.

Anchor to id
id
string

A unique identifier for the element.

Anchor to label
label
string

Content to use as the field label.

Anchor to required
required
boolean
Default: false

Whether the field needs a value. This requirement adds semantic value to the field, but it will not cause an error to appear automatically. If you want to present an error when this field is empty, you can do so with the error property.

Anchor to value
value
string

Current selected value.

The default, '', means no time is selected.

The value must be a 24-hour time in HH:mm:ss format, with leading zeros.

Examples: "00:00:00", "09:05:00", "23:59:00", "14:03:30".

This follows the HTML time input value format, which is always 24-hour with leading zeros regardless of UI presentation.

Anchor to Handle time selection eventsHandle time selection events

Subscribe to time input events to respond when merchants select or enter times. This example shows how to handle onChange events to capture time selections, enabling real-time validation, time range checks, or dynamic scheduling behavior based on merchant input.

Handle time selection events

<s-time-field
label="Appointment time"
value="14:30"
onInput={(event) => console.log('Input:', event.currentTarget.value)}
onChange={(event) => console.log('Change:', event.currentTarget.value)}
onFocus={(event) => console.log('Focused')}
onBlur={(event) => console.log('Blurred')}
/>

Anchor to Best practicesBest practices

  • Use correct format: Always use HH:mm:ss format with leading zeros (like "09:05:00" not "9:5:0").
  • Explain time constraints: Use details to clarify requirements like "Business hours only (09:00-17:00)" or "Must be a future time."
