DateTime Picker Overview
The Blazor DateTime Picker component allows the user to choose both a date and a time from a visual list in a dropdown, or to type it into a date input that can accept only DateTime values. You can control the format shown in the input and respond to events.
To use a Telerik DateTime Picker for Blazor, add the TelerikDateTimePicker tag.
Basic datetime picker with custom format, min and max
Selected time: @selectedTime
<br />
<TelerikDateTimePicker Min="@Min" Max="@Max" @bind-Value="@selectedTime"
Format="dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss" Width="250px"></TelerikDateTimePicker>
@code {
private DateTime? selectedTime = DateTime.Now;
public DateTime Min = new DateTime(1990, 1, 1, 8, 15, 0);
public DateTime Max = new DateTime(2025, 1, 1, 19, 30, 45);
}
The result of the snippet above and the behavior of the component
Component namespace and reference
@using Telerik.Blazor.Components
<TelerikDateTimePicker @ref="@theDateTimePickerRef" @bind-Value="@selectedTime"></TelerikDateTimePicker>
@code {
private DateTime? selectedTime = DateTime.Now;
// the datetime picker is a generic component and its type comes from the value field type
Telerik.Blazor.Components.TelerikDateTimePicker<DateTime?> theDateTimePickerRef { get; set; }
}
The DateTimePicker component exposes the following features:
-
Class- the custom CSS class rendered on the wrapping element. -
Enabled- Specifies whether typing in the input and opening the dropdown are allowed. -
Format- Specifies the format of the DateInput of the DateTimePicker. Read more in the Supported Formats article. -
Id- renders as theidattribute on the<input />element, so you can attach a<label for="">to the input. -
Min- The earliest date and time that the user can select. -
Max- The latest date and time that the user can select. -
Value- The current value of the input. Can be used for binding. -
Width- Defines the width of the DateTimePicker. - Validation - see the Input Validation article.
When using the dropdown to edit dates, you must click the "Set" button to commit the date. It is located in the Time portion of the dropdown (you will be navigated to it automatically upon selecting a date). Clicking "Cancel", or outside of the dropdown without clicking "Set", will revert the time to the original value. You can also commit a date by clicking the "NOW" button which will choose the current time.
The time format specifiers in the Format control the tumblers available in the dropdown. For example, the HH specifier will result in a hour selector in a 24 hour format. If you also add the tt specifier, you will also get the AM/PM tumbler, but the 24 hour format will still be used. This means that you can also add several tumblers for the same time portion if the format string repeats them.
