Material Datetimepicker for @angular/material

The example application is on GitHub Pages!

The datetimepicker was initially taken from Promact/md2 and modified to use @angular/material. We have also added theming support.

Like the @angular/material datepicker it contains a native-datetime-adapter as well as a moment-datetime-adapter .

Usage

Installation

Install:

npm install --save @mat-datetimepicker/core

And for the moment adapter:

npm install --save @angular/material-moment-adapter mat-datetimepicker/moment

Setup

Basically the same way the @angular/material datepicker is configured and imported.

imports: [
  ...MatDatepickerModule,
  // use this if you want to use native javascript dates and INTL API if available
  // MatNativeDatetimeModule,
  MatMomentDatetimeModule,
  MatDatetimepickerModule,
];

@see src/app/app.module.ts

Using the component

<form [formGroup]="group">
  <mat-form-field>
    <mat-placeholder>Start DateTime</mat-placeholder>
    <mat-datetimepicker-toggle [for]="datetimePicker" matSuffix></mat-datetimepicker-toggle>
    <mat-datetimepicker #datetimePicker type="datetime" openOnFocus="true" timeInterval="5"> </mat-datetimepicker>
    <input matInput formControlName="start" [matDatetimepicker]="datetimePicker" required autocomplete="false" />
  </mat-form-field>
</form>

Date formatting

In order to change the default input/output formats, a custom instance of MAT_DATETIME_FORMATS needs to be provided in the global configuration.

Input/output formats can be changed separately for the existing datetime picker types date, month , datetimeand time.

Accessibility

You can use the following properties to provide values for ARIA- attributes:

The component supports property bindings or pipes with the aria- values.

Native

Parsing does not work with the native adapter because the Intl.DateTimeFormat API does not provide that feature.

providers: [
  {
    provide: MAT_DATETIME_FORMATS,
    useValue: {
      parse: {},
      display: {
        dateInput: {
          year: 'numeric',
          month: '2-digit',
          day: '2-digit',
        },
        monthInput: {
          month: 'long',
        },
        datetimeInput: {
          year: 'numeric',
          month: '2-digit',
          day: '2-digit',
          hour: '2-digit',
          minute: '2-digit',
        },
        timeInput: {
          hour: '2-digit',
          minute: '2-digit',
        },
        monthYearLabel: {
          year: 'numeric',
          month: 'short',
        },
        dateA11yLabel: {
          year: 'numeric',
          month: 'long',
          day: 'numeric',
        },
        monthYearA11yLabel: {
          year: 'numeric',
          month: 'long',
        },
        popupHeaderDateLabel: {
          weekday: 'short',
          month: 'short',
          day: '2-digit',
        },
      },
    },
  },
];
