....
using Syncfusion.Blazor;
....
builder.Services.AddSyncfusionBlazor();
....Add stylesheet and script resources
The theme stylesheet and script can be accessed from NuGet through Static Web Assets. Include the stylesheet and script references in the ~wwwroot/index.html file.
...
<link href="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes/fluent2.css" rel="stylesheet" />
...
<script src="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Core/scripts/syncfusion-blazor.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>Add Blazor TimePicker component
Open a Razor file located in the ~/Pages/*.razor (for example, Home.razor) and add the Blazor TimePicker component inside the razor file.
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Calendars
<SfTimePicker TValue="DateTime?" PlaceHolder="Select a time"></SfTimePicker>Run the application
Press Ctrl+F5 (Windows) or ⌘+F5 (macOS) to launch the application. The Blazor TimePicker component will render in your default web browser.

Setting the time format
Time format is a way of representing the time value in different string formats in the textbox and popup list. By default, the TimePicker’s Format is based on the culture. The TimePicker format can be customized using the Format property.
The below code demonstrates how to render TimePicker component in 24 hours format with 60 minutes interval. The time interval is set to 60 minutes by using the Step property.
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Calendars
<SfTimePicker TValue="DateTime?" Value="@TimeValue" Step=60 Format="HH:mm"></SfTimePicker>
@code {
public DateTime TimeValue { get; set; } = DateTime.Now;
}
