DateTime input type

Contents

A simple field for dates with time. A pop-up box with a calendar and time selector allows easy editing.

Appearance

The user format is yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm for example, 2015-02-09 09:00. The date-time could be of type local (no timezone) or with a timezone. This is done using configuration:

Input field with both a calander and time selection above

Usage

<input name="mydatetime" type="DateTime">
  <label>My DateTime</label>
  <config>
    <timezone>true</timezone>  (1)
  </config>
  <default>2011-09-12</default>  (2)
</input>
1 timezone set to true if timezone information should be used. Default is false.
2 default date value to be used. The format for the default date value can be:

  • Combined date and time in ISO 8601 format, with timezone: yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm±hh:mm (e.g. "2016-12-31T23:59+01:00")

  • Combined date and time in ISO 8601 format, without timezone: yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm (e.g. "2016-12-31T23:59")

  • Relative datetime expression (e.g. "+1year -12hours")

Note that the ISO8601 format consists of concatenating a complete date expression, the letter T as a delimiter, and a valid time expression.

The timezone offset is a plus or minus sign, followed by an hour offset, followed by a colon, followed by a minute offset. A timezone offset of zero can also be represented as 'Z', meaning UTC or Zulu time. It is equivalent to offset +00:00.

A relative date expression is a sequence of one or more datetime offsets. An offset consists of: a plus or minus sign, followed by an integer, followed by a date/time unit string (e.g. "+3 days")

Table 1. Unit strings
Singular Plural initial letter

"year"

"years"

"y"

"month"

"months"

"M"

"week"

"weeks"

"w"

"day"

"days"

"d"

"hour"

"hours"

"h"

"minute"

"minutes"

"m"

An offset can also be the string now, which means current date and time.

If <default> value is set for an input, the Date/Time picker will display "Set default" button for setting the default value with one click.

Examples:

<input name="dateTimeDefaultTz" type="DateTime">
  <label>DateTime (with tz and default value)</label>
  <config>
    <timezone>true</timezone>
  </config>
  <default>2000-01-01T12:30+01:00</default>
</input>

<input name="dateTimeDefaultNoTz" type="DateTime">
  <label>DateTime (without tz and default value)</label>
  <default>2000-01-01T12:30</default>
</input>

<input name="dateTimeRelative" type="DateTime">
  <label>DateTime (relative default value)</label>
  <default>+1year -12hours</default>
</input>

<input name="dateTimeNow" type="DateTime">
  <label>DateTime (current time as default value)</label>
  <default>now</default>
</input>
