documentation for implementing date & time selectors

[markshust]

There is no documentation (or reference to other documentation) on implementing date & time selectors from the admin pattern library:

http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/pattern-library/getting-user-input/date_time_selector/date_time_selector.html

Hi!

This is implemented using the standard jQuery UI timepicker widget https://jqueryui.com/datepicker/ + addon https://github.com/magento/magento2/blob/develop/lib/web/jquery/jquery-ui-timepicker-addon.js

Thank you very much -- it might be worth noting that in the pattern library and linking to the api documentation http://api.jqueryui.com/datepicker/

I'm going to reopen this issue -- there appears to be some Magento2 magic going on behind the scenes, and it's very unclear what is going on with the datepicker, and how styles are pulled into the admin pages. I really think we need some clear documentation on this, along with how to implement all of the different date/datetime pickers.

"Thank you very much -- it might be worth noting that in the pattern library and linking to the api "
Yeah, definitely you are right. There are several teams working on docs, we'll contact the team which authored the Admin Pattern Library.

" I'm going to reopen this issue... I really think we need some clear documentation on this"
We'll create a ticket for adding detailed docs, but we'll need some time to write and publish them.
Do you mind if we close this issue, once the internal one is created?

[markshust]

Sure no prob

[almarchenko]

I've added links http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/pattern-library/getting-user-input/date_time_selector/date_time_selector.html#implementation

• the task of creating a detailed docs is in progress.
  Thank you!

Can we re-open this ticket? This is not complete. I still don't know how to implement a timepicker, as there is no documentation.

Can you explain what we need to complete the task?

[markshust]

We need code examples to show how to use the datepicker with an input field, for all variations (ex. Single Time Picker, Date Range Picker, Horizontal stacked, Vertical stacked... all of them, how to implement), for both Admin and Frontend implementations.
