Datetime Picker Slot
This is a Web Component for Date and Time Slot Picker. This project is a standalone Web Component built using StencilJS.
You have to pass in dates and time slots that you want to display.
When "timeSlots" is not passed, the component acts as a pure date picker.
This date and time slot picker is useful for below cases:
- If you have a set of dates that alone should be available for user input
- If you also want to display a custom time slot along with the date, eg: Thu, 14 Mar 2024, 5 PM - 6 PM.
- Useful for appointment booking, choosing a delivery time, restaurant reservation, etc.
- Supports multi language translations. You can pass your own translations and display text.
- Supports displaying time slots in multiple formats: Eg: 4 PM, 4:00 PM, 16:00, 4 PM - 5 PM, 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM, 16:00 - 17:00.
Usage and Live Demo
Using the component in HTML
The properties are optional, you can use them to pass custom text.
<datetime-picker-slot
placeholder="Pick a time slot"
time-slots-text="Time"
no-slots-text="No slots are available"
>
</datetime-picker-slot>
To display time slots in HH:mm format, pass the "time-format" property. The "dates-hidden-when-times-shown" property can be used if you would like to make the popup more compact, when time slots are shown the date calendar will be hidden.
<datetime-picker-slot
placeholder="Pick a time slot"
time-slots-text="Time"
no-slots-text="No slots are available"
time-format="HH:mm"
dates-hidden-when-times-shown
initial-display-text="Thu, 14 Mar 2024, 5 PM - 6 PM"
>
</datetime-picker-slot>
Initializing slots & listening to slot changes in Javascript
Add the below code inside in your HTML. Ensure the input date and time format is as stated below.
Supported input date format:
- ddd, D MMM YYYY (Tue, 12 Mar 2024)
Supported input time formats: (Pick a format and all time slots should be the same format)
- H A (10 AM)
- H:mm A (10:00 AM)
- H A - H A (10 AM - 11 AM)
- H:mm A - H:mm A (10:00 AM - 11:00 AM)
const datetimeSlotPicker = document.querySelector('datetime-picker-slot');
datetimeSlotPicker.addEventListener('slotUpdate', function(event){ console.log('Updated Slot: ', event.detail) });
datetimeSlotPicker.slots = [
{
date: 'Tue, 12 Mar 2024',
timeSlots: [
'10:00 AM',
'11:00 AM',
'4:00 PM',
'5:00 PM'
]
},
{
date: 'Thu, 14 Mar 2024',
timeSlots: [
'10:00 AM',
'11:00 AM',
'4:00 PM',
'5:00 PM'
]
}
];
If you are passing translations (using Javascript as shown below), you can set the language code
<datetime-picker-slot
placeholder="Pick a time slot"
time-slots-text="Time"
no-slots-text="No slots are available"
language="en"
>
</datetime-picker-slot>
To pass translations, also set the translations property as shown below. You can have multiple langage codes like "en".
const datetimeSlotPicker = document.querySelector('datetime-picker-slot');
datetimeSlotPicker.addEventListener('slotUpdate', function(event){ console.log('Updated Slot: ', event.detail) });
datetimeSlotPicker.slots = [
{
date: 'Tue, 12 Mar 2024',
timeSlots: [
'10 AM - 11 AM',
'11 AM - 12 PM',
'4 PM - 5 PM',
'5 PM - 6 PM'
]
},
{
date: 'Thu, 14 Mar 2024',
timeSlots: [
'10 AM - 11 AM',
'11 AM - 12 PM',
'4 PM - 5 PM',
'5 PM - 6 PM'
]
}
];
datetimeSlotPicker.translations = {
en: {
Mon: 'Mon',
Tue: 'Tue',
Wed: 'Wed',
Thu: 'Thu',
Fri: 'Fri',
Sat: 'Sat',
Sun: 'Sun',
AM: 'AM',
PM: 'PM',
Jan: 'Jan',
Feb: 'Feb',
Mar: 'Mar',
Apr: 'Apr',
May: 'May',
Jun: 'Jun',
Jul: 'Jul',
Aug: 'Aug',
Sep: 'Sep',
Oct: 'Oct',
Nov: 'Nov',
Dec: 'Dec'
}
};
Using this component
There are three strategies we recommend for using web components built with Stencil.
Script tag
- Put a script tag similar to this
<script src='https://unpkg.com/datetime-picker-slot/dist/datetime-picker-slot/datetime-picker-slot.js'></script>
in the head of your index.html - Then you can use the element anywhere in your template, JSX, html etc
Node Modules
- Run
npm install datetime-picker-slot --save
- Put a script tag similar to this
<script src='node_modules/datetime-picker-slot/dist/datetime-picker-slot/datetime-picker-slot.js'></script>
in the head of your index.html - Then you can use the element anywhere in your template, JSX, html etc
In a stencil-starter app
- Run
npm install datetime-picker-slot --save
- Add an import to the npm packages
import datetime-picker-slot;
- Then you can use the element anywhere in your template, JSX, html etc
Customizing Appearance
You can customize the styling by using CSS. All HTML elemets have a class name (usually starting with "meo", Eg: "meo-input") that can be used.
Developers
To run the project locally, run:
gh repo clone huykon/datetime-picker-slot
cd datetime-picker-slot
npm install
npm start
To build the component for production, run:
npm run build
The scripts will be generated under dist/datetime-picker-slot. The whole folder needs to be served, datetime-picker-slot.js acts as the entry point that's included in HTML.
