time_field

Returns a text_field of type “time”.

The default value is generated by trying to call strftime with “%T.%L” on the object’s value. If you pass include_seconds: false, it will be formatted by trying to call strftime with “%H:%M” on the object’s value. It is also possible to override this by passing the “value” option.

Options

Supports the same options as FormTagHelper#time_field_tag.

Examples

time_field("task", "started_at")
# => <input id="task_started_at" name="task[started_at]" type="time" />

You can create values for the “min” and “max” attributes by passing instances of Date or Time to the options hash.

time_field("task", "started_at", min: Time.now)
# => <input id="task_started_at" name="task[started_at]" type="time" min="01:00:00.000" />

Alternatively, you can pass a String formatted as an ISO8601 time as the values for “min” and “max.”

time_field("task", "started_at", min: "01:00:00")
# => <input id="task_started_at" name="task[started_at]" type="time" min="01:00:00.000" />

By default, provided times will be formatted including seconds. You can render just the hour and minute by passing include_seconds: false. Some browsers will render a simpler UI if you exclude seconds in the timestamp format.

time_field("task", "started_at", value: Time.now, include_seconds: false)
# => <input id="task_started_at" name="task[started_at]" type="time" value="01:00" />
