Digital Clock

The Digital Clock lets the user select a time without any input or popper / modal.

Description

There are two component versions for different cases. The DigitalClock handles selection of a single time instance in one step, just like a select component. The MultiSectionDigitalClock allows selecting time using separate sections for separate views.

The DigitalClock is more appropriate when there is a limited number of time options needed, while the MultiSectionDigitalClock is suited for cases when a more granular time selection is needed.

12h/24h format

The components use the hour format of the locale's time setting, that is the 12-hour or 24-hour format.

You can force a specific format using the ampm prop.

You can find more information about 12h/24h format in the Date localization page.

AM PM enabled

AM PM disabled

Time steps

By default, the components list the time options in the following way:

DigitalClock in 30 minutes intervals;
MultiSectionDigitalClock component in 5 unit (minutes or seconds) intervals;

You can set the desired interval using the timeStep and timeSteps props. The prop accepts:

The DigitalClock component accepts a number value timeStep prop;
The MultiSectionDigitalClock component accepts a timeSteps prop with number values for hours, minutes, or seconds units;

Skip rendering disabled options

With the skipDisabled prop, the components don't render options that are not available to the user (for example through minTime, maxTime, shouldDisabledTime etc.).

The following example combines these properties to customize which options are rendered.

The first component does not show options before 9:00 (the value of minTime).
The second one shows options between 09:00 and 13:20 thanks to shouldDisableTime.
