Component Guide
import { TimeInput } from '@uhg-abyss/web/ui/TimeInput';
() => {
const [value, setValue] = useState('');
return (
<TimeInput label="TimeInput Sandbox" value={value} onChange={setValue} />
);
};

Variants​

Input with time picker​

The default variant for TimeInput is an input field with a button to open a time picker.

Input only​

Use the inputOnly prop when the time can be easily entered without a time picker.

Using useForm and FormProvider simplifies form management by providing out-of-the-box validation, form state handling, and performance optimizations, leveraging the power of react-hook-form.

useState​

Using the useState hook gets values from the component state.

Format​

Use the format prop to change the time format for the input. The possible values are '12' (the default) and '24'.

Display Properties​

Label​

Use the label prop to display a label above the input. To hide the input label, set hideLabel to true.

Use isRequired and isOptional for further customization.

useState only

If using useForm, do not use isRequired. The same functionality can be achieved with required: true in validators.

Helper​

Use the helper prop to display a help icon next to the label. Simply passing a string value will render the default helper, a Tooltip containing that string. The helper can be customized by passing in a node. It is recommended to use either a Tooltip or a Popover. See When should I use a Tooltip vs. a Popover? for more information on best practices regarding the two.

Subtext​

Use the subText prop to display helpful information related to the input field. The prop accepts either a string or an object of the form:

{
text: string;
position: 'above' | 'below';
}

The position property determines where the subtext will be displayed in relation to the input field. The default value is 'below'.

Width​

Use the width prop to set the width of the input field.

Left Element​

Use the inputLeftElement prop to add an element inside the text input field. The recommended usage is for inserting icons. The prop accepts an object with the following properties:

  • element: The element to be displayed inside the input field.
  • description: An optional string that describes the purpose of the element for screen readers.

These are considered decorative and do not need to be exposed to screen readers. That said, please note that icons should not provide any information that is not also conveyed in a screen-readable way. For example, an exclamation mark (!) icon to indicate errors needs to be accompanied by aria-invalid.

If the icon is used to convey additional information, use the inputLeftElement.description prop to provide a description for screen readers.

Tip

The recommended usage is when using the inputOnly prop.

Validation​

Validators (useForm)​

Form Compatibility
useState
useForm

Use the validators prop to set validation rules for the field when using useForm. See the examples below for implementation on various types of validation.

Tip

The default error message when required is true is minimally acceptable for accessibility. It is highly recommended to customize it to be more specific to the use of the field and form.

Error message (useState)​

Form Compatibility
useState
useForm

Use the errorMessage prop to display a custom error message below the input field when using useState.

Success message​

Form Compatibility
useState
useForm

Use the successMessage prop to display a custom success message below the input field. To provide a single success message across all form input components using useForm/FormProvider, you can provide successMessage to FormProvider as shown here.

Highlighted​

Form Compatibility
useState
useForm

Use the highlighted prop to enable a distinct background color when fields are required. To supply this across all form input components using useForm/FormProvider, you can provide highlighted to FormProvider as shown here.

Validation below menu​

Form Compatibility
useState
useForm

Set the validationBelowMenu prop to true to relocate the error and success message validation to below the menu, when open.

The default is false and the validation message will always remain displayed below the selection container, even when the calendar is open.

Interactivity​

Clearable​

Set the isClearable prop to true to display a clear button in the input field. The optional onClear callback prop can be used to trigger additional actions when the clear button is clicked.

Disabled​

Set the isDisabled prop to true to disable the input field, preventing user interaction. The input will still display the current value, but users cannot change it.

Enable outside scroll​

Set the enableOutsideScroll prop to true to allow the page to be scrolled while the calendar is open. The default value is false.

Responsiveness​

On screens 360px wide or smaller, the picker will be placed in a full-screen takeover instead of a popup. Resize the window and open the picker to see the change!

TimeInput Classes​

Class NameDescription
.abyss-time-input-containerThe time input container
.abyss-time-input-picker-inputPickerInput rendered by TimeInput
.abyss-time-input-time-input-fieldTimeInputField rendered by TimeInput
.abyss-time-input-time-pickerTimePicker rendered by TimeInput

TimeInput implements a simple group (<fieldset>) of three spin buttons for hours, minutes, and AM/PM. This makes the time picker dialog "redundant and unnecessary." To avoid the potential confusion and unnecessary redundant entry, the "Choose time" button does not receive keyboard focus.

The <fieldset> carries role="radiogroup" and aria-roledescription="Group". This allows aria-required and aria-invalid to be announced against the grouping as a whole rather than against an individual field, matching the approach used by RadioGroup and CheckboxGroup.

Keyboard Interactions​

KeyDescription
TabMoves focus to next TimeInput field, clear button or exits component
Shift + TabMoves focus to previous TimeInput field or exits component
Up ArrowIncrements current hour or minute field; toggles AM / PM
Down ArrowDecrements current hour or minute field; toggles AM / PM

Known BrAT issues​

NVDA​

  • May not announce all group level information in browse mode when receiving focus. This can happen when the first element to receive focus is a helper.
  • In focus mode, all group level settings should announce as expected. Focus mode is triggered when a time field receives focus, announcing the group fully when there are no helpers before it.
