Usage

The Input Time component is a web component built from scratch to allow users to easily select time in a 12-hour format, while outputting the selected time in a 24-hour format. To get started, simply use the <uk-input-time> markup in your HTML code.

Capturing values

There are several ways to capture values from the <uk-input-time> component. The simplest approach is to add a name attribute to the component. When you do this, a hidden input field with the specified name will be automatically generated, allowing you to easily capture the selected value on your server.

Prepopulating values

To prepopulate the Input Time component with an existing value, simply pass the value attribute with a 24-hour time format. To prepopulate with current time, just use the now attribute and it will automatically set the current time as the default value.

Size modifiers

There are several size modifiers available. Just add one of the following classes to the cls-custom attribute to make the input smaller or larger.

Class	Description
.uk-form-xs	Applies extra small size.
.uk-form-sm	Applies small size.
.uk-form-md	Applies medium size.
.uk-form-lg	Applies large size.

Disable input

To prevent user input, add the disabled attribute to the <uk-input-time> element. This will disable all input fields, making it impossible for users to enter or modify time.

Error state

To indicate an error state in the form, simply add the .uk-form-destructive class to the cls-custom attribute. This will apply a “destructive” state to the component, providing visual feedback to the user.

Preventing layout shift

When loading Web Components, there may be a brief delay before the content is fully rendered. This can result in a flash of unstyled content or unprocessed templates. To mitigate this issue, consider setting a predefined height on the parent element to prevent layout shift and ensure a smooth user experience.
