npm install @syncfusion/ej2-vue-calendars --save

Adding CSS reference for Syncfusion Vue TimePicker component

Import the needed css styles for the TimePicker component along with dependency styles in the <style> section of the src/App.vue file as follows.

<style>
    @import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css';
    @import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-inputs/styles/material.css';
    @import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-popups/styles/material.css';
    @import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-lists/styles/material.css';
    @import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-calendars/styles/material.css";
</style>

Adding Syncfusion Vue TimePicker component in the application

You have completed all the necessary configurations needed for rendering the Syncfusion Vue component. Now, you are going to add the TimePicker component using following steps.

Import the TimePicker component in the <script> section of the src/App.vue file.

<script>
import { TimePickerComponent } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-calendars";
</script>

Register the TimePicker component.

import { TimePickerComponent } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-calendars";
//Component registeration
export default {
    name: "App",
    components: {
        'ejs-timepicker' : TimePickerComponent,
    }
}

Add the component definition in template section.

<template>
    <div class="control_wrapper">
        <ejs-timepicker></ejs-timepicker>
    </div>
</template>

Summarizing the above steps, update the src/App.vue file with following code.

<template>
    <div class="control_wrapper">
        <ejs-timepicker></ejs-timepicker>
    </div>
</template>
<script>
import { TimePickerComponent } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-calendars";
//Component registeration
export default {
    name: 'App',
    components: {
        "ejs-timepicker": TimePickerComponent
    },
}
</script>
<style>
  @import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css';
  @import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-inputs/styles/material.css';
  @import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-popups/styles/material.css';
  @import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-lists/styles/material.css';

    margin: 0 auto;
  }
</style>

Setting the value, min, and max time

The following example demonstrates how to set the value, min, and max time on initializing the TimePicker. The TimePicker allows you to select the time value within a range from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

<template>
  <div id="app">
    <div class='wrapper'>
      <ejs-timepicker :min="minDate" :max="maxDate" :value="timeVal"></ejs-timepicker>
    </div>
  </div>
</template>
<script>
import { TimePickerComponent } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-calendars";
//Component registeration
export default {
    name: 'App',
    components: {
        "ejs-timepicker": TimePickerComponent
    },
    data () {
        return {
            minDate : new Date("05/07/2017 7:00 AM"),
            maxDate : new Date("05/07/2017 4:00 PM"),
            timeVal : new Date("05/27/2017 1:00 PM")
        }
    }
}
</script>
<style>
    @import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css';
    @import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-inputs/styles/material.css';
    @import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-popups/styles/material.css';
    @import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-lists/styles/material.css';
    @import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-calendars/styles/material.css";

TimePicker with range values

Setting the time format

Time formats is a way of representing the time value in different string format in textbox and popup list. By default, the TimePicker’s format is based on the culture. You can also customize the format by using the format property. To know more about the time format standards, refer to the Date and Time Format section.

The following example demonstrates the TimePicker component in 24 hours format with 60 minutes interval. The time interval is set to 60 minutes by using the step property.

<template>
    <div id="app">
        <div class='wrapper'>
            <ejs-timepicker :step="timeStep" :format="timeFormat" :value="timeVal"></ejs-timepicker>
     </div>
  </div>
</template>
<script>
import { TimePickerComponent } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-calendars";
//Component registeration
export default {
    name: 'App',
    components: {
        "ejs-timepicker": TimePickerComponent
    },
    data () {
        return {
            timeStep : 60,
            timeFormat : 'HH:mm',
            timeVal : new Date()
        }
    }
}
</script>
<style>
    @import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css';
    @import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-inputs/styles/material.css';
    @import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-popups/styles/material.css';
    @import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-lists/styles/material.css';
    @import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-calendars/styles/material.css";
   .wrapper {
        max-width: 250px;
        margin: 0 auto;
    }
</style>
