datetime

The datetime widget translates a datetime picker to a datetime string.

Name: datetime

UI: datetime-local input / date input / time input

Data type: Day.js-formatted datetime string

Options:

• default: accepts a datetime string, or '{{now}}' to fill in the current datetime; otherwise defaults to empty string.

  Until 3.2.1 it defaults to current datetime. To get an empty field, set default to empty string.

• format: sets storage format, displays the full date and time input in the UI. Accepts Day.js formats; defaults to ISO8601 (if supported by output format). If set, date_format and time_format are not used.

• date_format: sets storage format and UI input type as date picker (without time). Boolean or Day.js formats.

• time_format: sets storage format and UI input type as time picker (without date). Boolean or Day.js formats. If used together with date_format, the UI input will be a full datetime picker.

• picker_utc: (default: false) when set to true, the datetime picker will display times in UTC. When false, the datetime picker will display times in the user's local timezone. When using date-only formats, it can be helpful to set this to true so users in all time zones will see the same date in the datetime picker.

The display format of the input element depends on browser locale.

Example:

- label: "Start time"
  name: "start"
  widget: "datetime"
  default: "{{now}}"
  date_format: "DD.MM.YYYY" # e.g. 24.12.2021
  time_format: "HH:mm" # e.g. 21:07
  format: "LLL"
  picker_utc: false
