Timespan

About

This preset can be used to pick a timespan expressed as a combination of the following units: years, months, days, hours, minutes, seconds.

Basic usage

Component

Simple examples with ngModel
<!-- the simple default -->
<mbsc-timespan [(ngModel)]="duration">Task duration</mbsc-timespan>

<!-- setting theme and other options inline -->
<mbsc-timespan theme="ios" display="top" [(ngModel)]="duration">Task duration</mbsc-timespan>

<!-- passing event handlers -->
<mbsc-timespan (onSet)="estimated($event)">Task duration</mbsc-timespan>
	
export class MyExampleClass {
    estimated(event: any) {
        alert('Task estimated to take: ' + event.inst.getVal());
    }
}

If you need more customization options on the element, you can use the directives as follows

Directive

Here is an example for the timespan directive with ngModel
@Component({
    selector: 'my-example',
    template: `<input [(ngModel)]="duration" mbsc-timespan />`
})
export class MyExampleComponent {
    duration: number = 60000;
}
The timespan directive with additional options
import { MbscTimespanOptions } from '../lib/mobiscroll/js/mobiscroll.angular.min.js';

@Component({
    selector: 'my-example',
    template: `<input [(ngModel)]="duration" mbsc-timespan [mbsc-options]="myOptions" />`
})
export class MyExampleComponent {
    duration: number = 60000;
    myOptions: MbscTimespanOptions = {
        theme: 'ios',
        display: 'center'
    };
}

Using with Ionic

Using with Ionic input
<ion-item>
    <ion-label>Duration</ion-label>
    <ion-input [(ngModel)]="duration" mbsc-timespan></ion-input>
</ion-item>

The following options can be used as attributes to customize the component.

For many more examples - simple and complex use-cases - check out the timespan demos for angular.

Options

Name Type Default value Description
anchor String, HTMLElement undefined Specifies the anchor element for positioning, if display is set to 'bubble' . If undefined, it defaults to the element on which the component was initialized.
animate String or Boolean undefined Animation to use for show/hide (if display is not inline). Possible values:
  • 'fade'
  • 'flip'
  • 'pop'
  • 'swing'
  • 'slidevertical'

buttons Array ['set', 'cancel'] Buttons to display. Each item in the array will be a button. A button can be specified as a string, or as a button object.

When the passed array does not contain the predefined 'set' button, the auto-selection will be turned on. Selecting a value on the UI this way, will be set to the input immediately. If there are more than one wheels shown, the control will close on overlay tap. Otherwise tapping a value on the wheel will also close the control.

If a string, it must be one of the predefined buttons:
  • 'set' - Sets the value.
  • 'clear' - Clears the value.
  • 'cancel' - Dismisses the popup.
To modify the text of the predefined buttons, you can use the setText, clearText , cancelText options.

If an object, it may have the following properties:
  • text String - Text of the button.
  • handler String, Function - The function which will run when the button is pressed. If a string, it must be one of the predefined button handlers:
    • 'set' - Sets the value.
    • 'clear' - Clears the value.
    • 'cancel' - Dismisses the popup.
  • icon String (Optional) - Icon of the button.
  • cssClass String (Optional) - Css class of the button.
Predefined and custom buttons example
buttons: [
    'set',
    {
        text: 'Custom',
        icon: 'checkmark',
        cssClass: 'my-btn', 
        handler: (event) => {
            alert('Custom button clicked!');
        }
    },
    'cancel'
]

        text: 'Hide',
        handler: 'cancel',
        icon: 'close',
        cssClass: 'my-btn'
    }
]
circular Boolean, Array undefined If true, the scroll wheels are circular. If an array, it can be specified as a per wheel configuration, e.g. for 3 wheels: [true, false, false] - sets the first wheel circular. If not specified, if a wheel has more values than the number of displayed rows, the scroll wheel becomes circular.
closeOnOverlayTap Boolean true If true, the popup is closed on overlay tap/click.
context String, HTMLElement 'body' The DOM element in which the component is appended and positioned (if not inline). Can be a selector string or a DOM element.
cssClass String undefined Applies custom css class to the top level element.
defaultValue Number undefined Initial value of the picker, specified in milliseconds.
disabled Boolean false Initial disabled state of the component. This will take no effect in inline display mode.
display String 'center' Controls the positioning of the component. Possible options:
  • 'center' - The component appears as a popup at the center of the viewport.
  • 'inline' - If called on div element, the component is placed inside the div (overwriting existing content), otherwise is placed after the original element.
  • 'bubble' - The component appears as a bubble positioned to the element defined by the anchor option. By default the anchor is the original element.
  • 'top' - The component appears docked to the top of the viewport.
  • 'bottom' - The component appears docked to the bottom of the viewport.
focusOnClose Boolean, String, HTMLElement true Element to focus after the popup is closed. If undefined, the original element will be focused. If false, no focusing will occur.
focusTrap Boolean true If not in inline mode, focus won't be allowed to leave the popup.
headerText Boolean, String, Function false Specifies a custom string which appears in the popup header.
If the string contains the '{value}' substring, it is replaced with the formatted value of the timespan.
If it's set to false, the header is hidden.
If a function is passed, it receives the formatted value as parameter and the returned value appears in the header.
height Number 40 Height in pixels of one item on the wheel. The default value depends on the theme:

Mobiscroll: 40
Android Holo: 36
Bootstrap: 40
iOS: 34
jQuery Mobile: 40
Material: 40
Windows Phone: 76
layout String undefined Sets the layout of the component. Possible values:
  • 'liquid' - Wheels will expand to the maximum available width, but will not exceed the width set by the maxWidth setting. If maxWidth is not specified, the total width of all wheels will not exceed 600px. In 'top' or 'bottom' display mode this is the default behavior.
  • 'fixed' or undefined - Wheels will expand to the size of the longest wheel value, but will not exceed the width set by the maxWidth setting.
max Number Infinity Maximum selectable time in milliseconds.
maxWidth Number or Array undefined Maximum width of the wheels. If number, it is applied to all wheels, if an array, it is applied to each wheel separately.
min Number 0 Minimum selectable time in milliseconds.
minWidth Number or Array 80 Minimum width of the wheels in pixels. If number, it is applied to all wheels, if an array, it is applied to each wheel separately. The default value depends on the theme:

Mobiscroll: 80
Android Holo: 76
Bootstrap: 80
iOS: 55
jQuery Mobile: 80
Material: 80
Windows Phone: 76
multiline Number 1 If greater than 1, the wheel item's content will be wrapped into the specified number of lines. If the content is shorter, it will remain vertically centered.
readonly Boolean or Array false If true, the component is displayed, but the values are not selectable. If an array, it can be specified as a per wheel configuration, e.g. for 3 wheels: [true, false, false] - sets the first wheel readonly.
responsive Object undefined Specify different settings for different container widths, in a form of an object, where the keys are the name of the breakpoints, and the values are objects containing the settings for the given breakpoint.
The available width is queried from the container element of the component and not the browsers viewport like in css media queries
There are five predefined breakpoints:
  • xsmall - min-width: 0px
  • small - min-width: 576px
  • medium - min-width: 768px
  • large - min-width: 992px
  • xlarge - min-width: 1200px
Custom breakpoints can be defined by passing an object containing the breakpoint property specifying the min-width in pixels. Example: 
responsive: {
    small: {
        display: 'bottom'
    },
    custom: { // Custom breakpoint
        breakpoint: 600,
        display: 'center'
    },
    large: {
        display: 'bubble'
    }
}
rows Number 3 Number of visible rows on the wheel. The default value depends on the theme:

Mobiscroll: 5
Bootstrap: 3
iOS: 5
Material: 3
Windows: 6
scrollLock Boolean true Disables page scrolling on touchmove (if not in inline mode, and popup height is less than window height).
showLabel Boolean true Show/hide labels above wheels.
showOnFocus Boolean false - on desktop true - on mobile Pops up the component on element focus.
showOnTap Boolean true Pops up the component on element tap.
showOverlay Boolean true Show or hide overlay.
showScrollArrows Boolean false Display scroll arrows for the wheels.
steps Array undefined Step between the wheel values. The array length must be equal with the length of the wheels. E.g. if wheelOrder: 'hhiiss', 3 wheels are generated (hours, minutes and seconds), so steps: [2, 2, 1] can be used to specifiy the steps for each of the wheels.
theme String undefined

Sets the visual appearance of the component.

If it is 'auto' or undefined, the theme will automatically be chosen based on the platform.

If the theme for the specific platform is not present, it will default to the Mobiscroll theme.

Supplied themes:
  • 'bootstrap' - Bootstrap themes
  • 'ios' - iOS theme
  • 'material' - Material theme
  • 'mobiscroll' - Mobiscroll theme
  • 'windows' - Windows theme
It's possible to modify theme colors or create custom themes.
Starting from v4.9.0 setting directly the dark version of the theme is deprecated. Use the themeVariant option instead to control the light / dark appearance of the theme.
Make sure that the theme you set is included in the downloaded package.
themeVariant String undefined

Controls which variant of the theme will be used (light or dark).

Possible values:
  • 'light' - Use the light variant of the theme.
  • 'dark' - Use the dark variant of the theme.
  • 'auto' or undefined - Detect the preferred system theme on devices where this is supported.

If not set, only the theme setting will determine which theme to use.

To use the option with custom themes, make sure to create two custom themes, where the dark version has the same name as the light one, suffixed with '-dark', e.g.: 'my-theme' and 'my-theme-dark'.

The option will not have any effect if the theme option explicitly sets the dark version of a theme, e.g. theme: 'ios-dark'.
touchUi Boolean true

Use true to render a touch optimized user interface, or false for a user interface optimized for pointer devices (mouse, touchpad).

Can be used with the responsive option to change the user interface based on viewport width.

useShortLabels Boolean false Use short or long labels
wheelOrder String 'hhiiss' Display order and formatting of the wheels.
  • m - months wheel (no leading zero)
  • mm - months wheel (with leading zero)
  • d - days wheel (no leading zero)
  • dd - days wheel (with leading zero)
  • h - hours wheel (no leading zero)
  • hh - hours wheel (with leading zero)
  • i - minutes wheel (no leading zero)
  • ii - minutes wheel (with leading zero)
  • s - seconds wheel (no leading zero)
  • ss - seconds wheel (with leading zero)
width Number, Array 70 Exact width of the wheels, in pixels. Wheel content will be truncated, if it exceeds the width. If number, it is applied to all wheels, if an array, it is applied to each wheel separately.

Setting options dynamically

There are two ways to modify options after initalization

  1. Using the option method.

    The option method always triggers reinitialization. Most of the settings can be updated only this way, updating without initialization has no effect, because the markup is already generated. If the scroller was visible, the reinitialization hides it and it's not shown again automatically (except in inline display mode).

    Here is an example for the dynamic option change
    import { ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
    selector: 'my-example',
    template: `
        <input mbsc-timespan #myVariable="mobiscroll" [(ngModel)]="myExample"/>
        <button (click)="changeOptions()">Change theme and language</button>
    `
})
export class MyExample {
    @ViewChild('myVariable') 
    myRef: any;

    // Modify options
    changeOptions() {
        this.myRef.instance.option({
            theme: 'mobiscroll',
            lang: 'de'
        });
    }
}
  2. Modify directly the settings object.

    Useful when changing dynamic settings, which do not need redraw (e.g. readonly, calendar marked days).

    Example
    import { ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
    selector: 'my-example',
    template: `
        <input mbsc-timespan #myVariable="mobiscroll" [mbsc-options]="myOptions"/>
        <button (click)="changeOptions()">Change readonly</button>
    `
})
export class MyExample {
    @ViewChild('myVariable') 
    myRef: any;

    // get instance and modify a setting
    changeOptions() {
        this.myRef.instance.settings.readonly = true;
    }
    
    // Modify settings in an event
    myOptions: any = {
        onBeforeShow: (event, inst) => {
            inst.settings.readonly = true;
        }
    }
}

By default it concatenates the values to a string.

Components implement their own formatValue function.

Example (feet and inches scroller with custom wheels): 
wheels: [[
        {
            data: [
                { value: 3, display: "3'" }, 
                { value: 4, display: "4'" },

    return data[0] + ' ft ' + data[1] + ' in';
}
parseValue function(valueText) Receives a string as parameter and must return an array containing the selected timespan wheel values.

Must return an array value!

Components implement their own parseValue function.

Example (feet and inches timespan with custom wheels): 
wheels: [[
        {
            data: [
                { value: 3, display: "3'" }, 
                { value: 4, display: "4'" },
                { value: 5, display: "5'" }, 
                { value: 6, display: "6'" }
            ]
        }, 
        {
            data: [
                { value: 0, display: "0'" }, 
                { value: 1, display: "1'" }, 
                { value: 2, display: "2'" }, 
                { value: 3, display: "3'" }, 
                { value: 4, display: "4'" },
                { value: 5, display: "5'" }, 
                { value: 6, display: "6'" },
                { value: 7, display: "7'" },
                { value: 8, display: "8'" },
                { value: 9, display: "9'" },
                { value: 10, display: "10'" },
                { value: 11, display: "11'" }
            ]
        }
    ]] 
parseValue: function (val) {
    // val is expected to be a string like "6 ft 8 in"
    if (val) {
        val = val.toString().split(' ');
        return [val[0], val[2]];
    }
    return [0, 0]; // Default value if input is empty
}

Customizing the appearance

While the provided pre-built themes are enough in many use cases, most of the times on top of adapting to a specific platform, you'd also like to match a brand or color scheme. Mobiscroll provides various ways to achieve this:

Override the Sass Color Variables

A convenient way to customize the colors of the Mobiscroll components is to override the Sass color variables.

Let's say your branding uses a nice red accent color, and you'd like that color to appear on the Mobiscroll components as well, while still using platform specific themes (e.g. ios on iOS devices, material on Android devices, and mobiscroll on desktop). You can override the accent color for every theme: 

$mbsc-ios-accent: #e61d2a;
$mbsc-material-accent: #e61d2a;
$mbsc-mobiscroll-accent: #e61d2a;

@import "~@mobiscroll/Angular/dist/css/mobiscroll.angular.scss"
It's important that you override the variables BEFORE the scss file import, otherwise it won't make any difference.
Here's a complete guide on how to set up Mobiscroll with SASS support

You can also customize the colors on many levels:

  1. Theme specific variables (ex. $mbsc-material-background, $mbsc-ios-dark-text) are applied to all components in a theme. Complete list of variables here.
  2. Component specific global variables (ex. $mbsc-card-background-light, $mbsc-listview-text-dark) are applied to all themes for a specific component.
  3. Component and theme specific variables (ex. $mbsc-ios-dark-form-background, $mbsc-material-input-text) are applied to a specific theme and a specific component.

Global variables

These variables are applied to all base themes: iOS, material, windows and mobiscroll.
They all come in pairs. One for the light and one for the dark variant in each theme.

Variable name Description
$mbsc-frame-background-light Sets the background color of the Timespan
$mbsc-frame-background-dark
$mbsc-frame-text-light Sets the text color of the Timespan
$mbsc-frame-text-dark
$mbsc-frame-accent-light Sets the accent color of the Timespan
$mbsc-frame-accent-dark
$mbsc-frame-overlay-light Sets the color of the overlay, when the Timespan is shown as a modal
$mbsc-frame-overlay-dark

If you really want to get sophisticated or if a color doesn't look good on a specific theme and you want to overwrite it, you can fine tune all of the above variables individually for each theme. Below are the complete list of variables broken down to themes:
