Clock Timepicker Plugin for jQuery

See a demo here

A free jQuery Plug-in to select the time with a clock inspired by the Android time picker. This plugin works on Desktop and Mobile phones.

Requirements

• jQuery

Note: You need the regular version of jQuery as the slim version does not include effects, which this library requires.

Installation

Install from NPM as jquery-clock-timepicker.

npm install jquery-clock-timepicker

Usage

$('.your-time-field').clockTimePicker(options);

Include the file jquery-clock-timepicker.min.js in your page. There is no need of a CSS file.

The Plug-in is customizable through the optional options object passed to the jQuery method, i.e.

$('.your-time-field').clockTimePicker({
	duration: true,
	durationNegative: true,
	precision: 5,
	i18n: {
		cancelButton: 'Abbrechen'
	},
	onAdjust: function(newVal, oldVal) {
		//...
	}
});

It is also possible to configure the ClockTimePicker element by using data attributes of the DOM element, i.e.

<input class="time" type="text" data-precision="5" data-minimum="10:00" data-maximum="20:00" />

You can combine the configuration by JavaScript and by the DOM data attributes. For example, you can use the JavaScript configuration to make a standard configuration for all your ClockTimePicker elements on the site and use the DOM data attributes to change configuration for individual elements. The data attributes have precedence over the JavaScript settings.

If you want to set new options at runtime (after an input element already has been intialized), just call the function again with all desired options.

If you want to dispose/destroy an initialized clock time picker element, please use the following code:

$('.your-time-field').clockTimePicker('dispose');

If you want to change the value programmatically at runtime on an already initialized clock time picker element, use the following code:

$('.your-time-field').clockTimePicker('value', '08:00');

Use the following code to show or hide a clock time picker programmatically:

$('.your-time-field').clockTimePicker('show');
$('.your-time-field').clockTimePicker('hide');
