Can't clear timepicker without adding extra button

[asurinov]

There is no ability to reset timepicker's model using keyboard, without adding extra button. Input value sets to '00' on blur.

@asurinov, I'm not exactly sure what you're asking for here. Even our demo has an external button. Can you please elaborate? Thanks.

I attach an example. Timepicker fields can't be cleared. For example, datepicker control supports such usecase.

Got it. I would revise the reproducibility steps to include delete the contents of the field and then click off to force it to lose focus. Feel free to submit a PR for this if you want to take a gander. Until I am overruled, I think this is something we could/should fix.

Another note. This can be seen in our demo page as well.

@asurinov, reading the code, it looks like this may be intentional behavior to prevent the user from having invalid data entered: https://github.com/angular-ui/bootstrap/blob/master/src/timepicker/timepicker.js#L353-L362.

I'm going to wait to see what the devs decide here before promising anything.

I'd argue this is by design - this doesn't have any buttons except to increment or decrement. However the user wants a clear button, we leave it up to the user to implement and choose where to locate it to take minimal opinion.
