Angular 14 ngx-material-timepicker Example to Embed Material Timepicker Input Field in TypeScript

Welcome folks today in this blog post we will be embeding material timepicker input field using ngx-material-timepicker library in Browser Using TypeScript. All the full source code of the application is shown below.

Get Started

In order to get started you need to make a new angularproject using the below command as shown below

ng new samplerproject

cd sampleproject

And now you need to install the below library using the below command as shown below

npm i ngx-material-timepicker

And after that you need to edit the app.module.ts file of your angular project and copy paste the below code

app.module.ts

import { NgModule } from "@angular/core";
import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from "@angular/platform-browser/animations";
import { BrowserModule } from "@angular/platform-browser";
import { CommonModule } from "@angular/common";
import { FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule } from "@angular/forms";
import { MatButtonModule } from "@angular/material/button";
import { MatCardModule } from "@angular/material/card";
import { MatFormFieldModule } from "@angular/material/form-field";
import { MatIconModule } from "@angular/material/icon";
import { MatInputModule } from "@angular/material/input";
import { MatMenuModule } from "@angular/material/menu";
import { MatSelectModule } from "@angular/material/select";
import { MatToolbarModule } from "@angular/material/toolbar";
import { MatTooltipModule } from "@angular/material/tooltip";
import { NgxMatTimepickerModule } from "ngx-mat-timepicker";
import { AppComponent } from "./app.component";
import { LOCALE_ID } from "@angular/core";

const lang = "en-US";

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    BrowserAnimationsModule,
    CommonModule,
    FormsModule,
    ReactiveFormsModule,
    MatButtonModule,
    MatCardModule,
    MatFormFieldModule,
    MatInputModule,
    MatIconModule,
    MatMenuModule,
    MatSelectModule,
    MatToolbarModule,
    MatTooltipModule,
    NgxMatTimepickerModule.setLocale(lang)
  ],
  providers: [{ provide: LOCALE_ID, useValue: lang }],
  declarations: [AppComponent],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {}

import { NgModule } from "@angular/core";

import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from "@angular/platform-browser/animations";

import { BrowserModule } from "@angular/platform-browser";

import { CommonModule } from "@angular/common";

import { FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule } from "@angular/forms";

import { MatButtonModule } from "@angular/material/button";

import { MatCardModule } from "@angular/material/card";

import { MatFormFieldModule } from "@angular/material/form-field";

import { MatIconModule } from "@angular/material/icon";

import { MatInputModule } from "@angular/material/input";

import { MatMenuModule } from "@angular/material/menu";

import { MatSelectModule } from "@angular/material/select";

import { MatToolbarModule } from "@angular/material/toolbar";

import { MatTooltipModule } from "@angular/material/tooltip";

import { NgxMatTimepickerModule } from "ngx-mat-timepicker";

import { AppComponent } from "./app.component";

import { LOCALE_ID } from "@angular/core";

const lang = "en-US";

@NgModule({

imports: [

BrowserModule,

BrowserAnimationsModule,

CommonModule,

FormsModule,

ReactiveFormsModule,

MatButtonModule,

MatCardModule,

MatFormFieldModule,

MatInputModule,

MatIconModule,

MatMenuModule,

MatSelectModule,

MatToolbarModule,

MatTooltipModule,

NgxMatTimepickerModule.setLocale(lang)

providers: [{ provide: LOCALE_ID, useValue: lang }],

declarations: [AppComponent],

bootstrap: [AppComponent]

})

export class AppModule {}

And now we need to edit the app.component.html file and copy paste the below html code as shown below

app.component.html

<!-- -->
<mat-form-field appearance="outline">
  <mat-label>MY FIELD</mat-label>
  <input
    type="text"
    matInput
    [ngxMatTimepicker]="timepicker"
    format="12"
    (dateChange)="onValueChange($event)"
    [required]="required"
    readonly
    [formControl]="formControlItem"
  />

  <button
    mat-icon-button
    matSuffix
    *ngIf="formControlItem.value && !formControlItem.disabled && !required"
    (click)="onClear($event)"
  >
    &times;
  </button>

  <button
    mat-icon-button
    [disabled]="formControlItem.disabled"
    (click)="openFromIcon(timepicker)"
    matSuffix
  >
    OPEN
  </button>
</mat-form-field>

<ngx-mat-timepicker #timepicker></ngx-mat-timepicker>

<mat-form-field appearance="outline">

<mat-label>MY FIELD</mat-label>

<input

type="text"

matInput

[ngxMatTimepicker]="timepicker"

format="12"

(dateChange)="onValueChange($event)"

[required]="required"

readonly

[formControl]="formControlItem"

<button

mat-icon-button

matSuffix

*ngIf="formControlItem.value && !formControlItem.disabled && !required"

(click)="onClear($event)"

</button>

<button

mat-icon-button

[disabled]="formControlItem.disabled"

(click)="openFromIcon(timepicker)"

matSuffix

OPEN

</button>

</mat-form-field>

<ngx-mat-timepicker #timepicker></ngx-mat-timepicker>

As you can see we have a simple material input field where we have the material timepicker. If we click it then we will see the window to pick time as shown below

And now you need to edit the app.component.ts file and copy paste the following code

app.component.ts

import { Component, ViewChild } from "@angular/core";
import { FormControl } from "@angular/forms";

@Component({
  selector: "my-app",
  templateUrl: "./app.component.html"
})
export class AppComponent {
  formControlItem: FormControl = new FormControl("");
  required: boolean = !1;
  @ViewChild("timepicker") timepicker: any;

  /**
   * Lets the user click on the icon in the input.
   */
  openFromIcon(timepicker: { open: () => void }) {
    if (!this.formControlItem.disabled) {
      timepicker.open();
    }
  }
  onValueChange(e){
    
   
   console.log(e.target.value);
   
}

  /**
   * Function to clear FormControl's value, called from the HTML template using the clear button
   *
   * @param $event - The Event's data object
   */
  onClear($event: Event) {
    this.formControlItem.setValue(null);
  }
}

import { Component, ViewChild } from "@angular/core";

import { FormControl } from "@angular/forms";

@Component({

selector: "my-app",

templateUrl: "./app.component.html"

})

export class AppComponent {

formControlItem: FormControl = new FormControl("");

required: boolean = !1;

@ViewChild("timepicker") timepicker: any;

/**

* Lets the user click on the icon in the input.

openFromIcon(timepicker: { open: () => void }) {

if (!this.formControlItem.disabled) {

timepicker.open();

}

onValueChange(e){

console.log(e.target.value);

}

/**

* Function to clear FormControl's value, called from the HTML template using the clear button

* @param $event - The Event's data object

onClear($event: Event) {

this.formControlItem.setValue(null);

}
