Javascript - How to set default time on Bootstrap timepicker

To set a default time on Bootstrap timepicker, you can use JavaScript to initialize the timepicker with the desired default time value. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this:

Using Bootstrap Timepicker

Assuming you are using the Bootstrap Timepicker plugin (e.g., Bootstrap Timepicker by Joris de Wit), here's how you can set a default time:

  1. Include Bootstrap Timepicker Library

    First, make sure you have included the necessary Bootstrap Timepicker library and dependencies in your project. You can either include it via a CDN or by downloading the files and linking them in your HTML.

    <!-- Bootstrap CSS --> <link href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.2/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"> <!-- Bootstrap Timepicker CSS --> <link href="path/to/bootstrap-timepicker.min.css" rel="stylesheet"> <!-- jQuery --> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.min.js"></script> <!-- Bootstrap JS --> <script src="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.2/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script> <!-- Bootstrap Timepicker JS --> <script src="path/to/bootstrap-timepicker.min.js"></script>

  2. Initialize Bootstrap Timepicker

    Initialize the Bootstrap Timepicker in your JavaScript code. You can set the default time during initialization.

    <input id="timepicker" type="text" class="form-control"> 
    $(document).ready(function() { $('#timepicker').timepicker({ defaultTime: '12:00 AM' // Set your desired default time here }); });

Explanation

  • HTML Input Element: Define an input element (<input type="text" id="timepicker" class="form-control">) where you want to apply the timepicker.

  • JavaScript Initialization: Use jQuery to initialize the timepicker plugin on the input element (#timepicker). Inside the initialization options:

    • defaultTime: Set this option to the desired default time in HH:MM AM/PM format. For example, '12:00 AM' for midnight, '12:00 PM' for noon.

Additional Options

  • Format: You can customize the time format using the timeFormat option. The default is 'h:i A', which stands for hoursAM/PM.

  • Min and Max Time: You can restrict the selectable times using minTime and maxTime options.

Example

Here's a complete example demonstrating setting a default time of 9:00 AM:

<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <title>Bootstrap Timepicker Default Time Example</title> <!-- Bootstrap CSS --> <link href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.2/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"> <!-- Bootstrap Timepicker CSS --> <link href="path/to/bootstrap-timepicker.min.css" rel="stylesheet"> <!-- jQuery --> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.min.js"></script> <!-- Bootstrap JS --> <script src="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.2/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script> <!-- Bootstrap Timepicker JS --> <script src="path/to/bootstrap-timepicker.min.js"></script> </head> <body> <div class="container mt-5"> <input id="timepicker" type="text" class="form-control"> </div> <script> $(document).ready(function() { $('#timepicker').timepicker({ defaultTime: '09:00 AM' // Set default time to 9:00 AM }); }); </script> </body> </html>

Notes

  • Ensure that you have jQuery and Bootstrap included before the Bootstrap Timepicker library.
  • Adjust paths (path/to/bootstrap-timepicker.min.css and path/to/bootstrap-timepicker.min.js) to match your project setup.
  • Customize defaultTime to the desired default time format (HH:MM AM/PM).

By following these steps, you can easily set a default time on Bootstrap Timepicker and enhance user experience with pre-selected times in your forms or applications.
