Date Time Field

The datetime field.

The DateTime Field builds on the standard Date Field and leverages the Bootstrap DateTime plugin under the hood. You can learn more about this plugin on its GitHub page: https://github.com/Eonasdan/bootstrap-datetimepicker.

For more information on date and time formatting strings, see the Moment.js documentation: http://momentjs.com/docs/.

The default date time format is assumed to be MM/DD/YYYY HH:mm:ss. This is an American approach to the date with a 24-hour clock. If you want to have an AM/PM selector, you can set the dateFormat to MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm:ss a.

Example 1

Single datetime field.

{% raw %} {% endraw %}

Example 2

Multiple datetime fields wrapped in a FORM.

{% raw %} {% endraw %}

Example 3

Datetime field with timepicker options and a button that returns field value as date.

{% raw %} {% endraw %}

Example 4

Single datetime field rendered in display-only mode.

{% raw %} {% endraw %}

Example 5

If you'd like to customize the behavior of this control, you can pass in explicit configuration using the picker option.

Here is an example that uses a 24 hour clock format and an alternative layout. Note that a 24 hour clock is specified with HH.

{% raw %} {% endraw %}

Example 6

DateTime fields can also be modeled as number properties. This will store the value in the milliseconds since Unix epoch convention. This is a milliseconds value with an assumed timezone of UTC.

{% raw %} {% endraw %}
