Time picker

The time picker component allows merchants to select times using an interactive picker interface. Use it when merchants benefit from visual time selection rather than typing exact times.

For direct text entry when merchants know the exact time, use time field.

Anchor to PropertiesProperties

Configure the following properties on the time picker component.

Anchor to id
id
string

A unique identifier for the element.

Anchor to value
value
string
Default: ''

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.

See: https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/time

If the provided value is invalid, '' is used as the value.

Select Time
</s-button>
<s-time-picker
id="time-picker"

/>
</>;

Anchor to Handle time selection eventsHandle time selection events

Subscribe to time selection events to respond when merchants pick a time. This example shows how to handle onChange events to capture selected times, enabling validation, scheduling logic, or dynamic updates based on the chosen time.

Handle time selection events

<s-time-picker
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

  • Choose for visual time selection: Use time picker when users benefit from a visual picker interface. Use time field when users know the exact time.
  • Use correct format: Always use HH:mm:ss format with leading zeros. The internal format is always 24-hour regardless of UI presentation.
  • Validate before setting values: Invalid values reset to empty string. Implement validation to show appropriate error messages.
