Form field that opens a wall-clock TimePicker in an overlay (auto by default: menu on desktop, bottom drawer on mobile).
Introduction
TimeField is a form control that opens a TimePicker in an overlay (auto by default: menu on desktop, bottom drawer on mobile): a label, a trigger input that is read-only by default, and helper or error text, all wrapped in FormField chrome. It uses the semantic clock icon by default at the inline end of the field.
The trigger commits a wall-clock Date (hours and minutes by default; include seconds with showSeconds) rather than a full date. Use DateTimeField when both a date and a time are required, or TimeRangeField when users need to pick a start and end time together.
Import
import { TimeField } from "@bridge-ui/vue/Components/TimeField";import { TimeField } from "@bridge-ui/react/Components/TimeField";Basic usage
Provide a label and placeholder. Bind the value with value/onChange in React or v-model in Vue. For uncontrolled usage with an initial value, use defaultValue in React or default-value in Vue. The trigger input is read-only by default; clicking or focusing it opens the picker menu.
Form props
Standard form attributes are supported through inherited FormField props:
- required — shows a red asterisk on the label. Pair with the native required attribute when validating with HTML forms.
- disabled — prevents interaction and applies disabled styling to the field shell and trigger.
- readonly — keeps the value visible and focusable but not editable; the menu does not open.
The input is read-only by default (picker only). Set editable to unlock typing. The field does not parse or commit typed text — handle that in your own component if needed.
Use description for helper text below the field. When error and errorMessage are both set, the description is hidden unless showDescriptionOnError.
Ampm
Set ampm to use a 12-hour clock with a dedicated AM/PM column in the picker.
Interval
Use interval to control the minute step between selectable options (default 1).
Show seconds
Set showSeconds to add a seconds column to the picker and include seconds in the formatted value.
Variants
Control the field shell appearance with the variant prop. Available variants: outline (default), filled, notched, stacked, and underlined.
Sizes
Control the field size with the size prop. Available sizes: 2xs, xs, sm, md (default), lg, xl, and 2xl.
Bounds
Use minTime and maxTime to limit the selectable range, or disableTimes to exclude specific times.
Show footer
Set showFooter to render Cancel / Apply actions on the nested picker. Selection is a draft until Apply is pressed; Cancel discards it and closes. When unset, showFooter defaults to true for modal / drawer overlays (false for menu). A custom footer slot replaces Cancel / Apply: call apply() to commit and close, or cancel() to discard and close.
Standalone TimePicker
TimePicker is the inline picker TimeField opens in an overlay (auto by default: menu on desktop, bottom drawer on mobile). Use it directly for toolbars, inline forms, or any layout where a floating menu is not desired. Pass error to apply the error color palette to tiles. Pass fill to stretch to the container width. The same footer slot replaces Cancel / Apply: apply() commits (and closes an overlay), cancel() discards.
TimePanel
TimePanel is the scrollable hour / minute (/ second / AM·PM) column building block used inside TimePicker. Pass showSeconds to include a seconds column. Pass error to apply the error color palette to tiles. Pass fill to stretch to the container width. Use it directly for fully custom compositions. Theme overlay chrome once via components.TimePanel; TimePicker and TimeRangePicker still override defaultProps. Columns use bridge-scroll-fade-y and bridge-hide-scrollbar by default. Add bridge-scroll-fade-none via classes.column to disable the fade. See Scroll utilities and Default props.
Overlay
Use the overlay prop to choose the picker shell: auto (default), menu, modal, or drawer. auto uses menu on desktop and a bottom drawer on mobile. When unset, showFooter defaults to true for modal / drawer overlays (false for menu). When unset, fill defaults to true for drawer overlays (false for menu / modal). Apply commits and closes; Cancel discards and closes.
Validation
Set error and errorMessage to show invalid styling and an error message below the field. Use required to show a red asterisk on the label.

Accessibility
For the field to be accessible, the trigger must be linked to its label and helper or error text:
- The label is associated with the trigger via htmlFor / id, using controlId (auto-generated when omitted).
- description and errorMessage are linked through aria-describedby on the trigger.
- When error is true, the trigger receives aria-invalid="true".
- The trigger is read-only by default; the picker menu opens on click or focus and closes on Escape.
Provide a stable controlId when rendering client-only so labels associate correctly on first paint.
Anatomy
TimeField composes FormField around a trigger input that is read-only by default, opening a TimePicker inside an overlay (auto by default: menu on desktop, bottom drawer on mobile):

├── Header — label, optional corner text, required indicator
├── Container — variant shell (outline, filled, …)
│ ├── Input — trigger showing the formatted time (read-only unless editable)
│ └── End adornment — clock icon (default) or custom endIcon
├── Menu — opens on trigger click, focus, or Escape to close
│ └── TimePicker
│ └── TimePanel — hour / minute (/ AM·PM) columns
└── Footer — description (helper text) or error messageAPI
