Register Syncfusion® Blazor Service

Open ~/_Imports.razor file and import the Syncfusion.Blazor and Syncfusion.Blazor.Calendars namespace.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Calendars

Now, register the Syncfusion® Blazor Service in the ~/Program.cs file of your Blazor WebAssembly App.

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.Web;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.WebAssembly.Hosting;
using Syncfusion.Blazor;

var builder = WebAssemblyHostBuilder.CreateDefault(args);
builder.RootComponents.Add<App>("#app");
builder.RootComponents.Add<HeadOutlet>("head::after");

builder.Services.AddScoped(sp => new HttpClient { BaseAddress = new Uri(builder.HostEnvironment.BaseAddress) });

builder.Services.AddSyncfusionBlazor();
await builder.Build().RunAsync();
....

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 <head> section of the ~/index.html file.

<head>
    ....
    <link href="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes/bootstrap5.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    <script src="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Core/scripts/syncfusion-blazor.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>

NOTE

Check out the Blazor Themes topic to discover various methods (Static Web Assets, CDN, and CRG) for referencing themes in your Blazor application. Also, check out the Adding Script Reference topic to learn different approaches for adding script references in your Blazor application.

Add Blazor TimePicker component

Add the Syncfusion® Blazor TimePicker component in the ~/Pages/Index.razor file.

<SfTimePicker TValue="DateTime?" PlaceHolder="Select a time"></SfTimePicker>
  • Press Ctrl+F5 (Windows) or ⌘+F5 (macOS) to launch the application. This will render the Syncfusion® Blazor TimePicker component in your default web browser.

Setting the time format

Time format is a way of representing the time value in different string format in textbox and popup list. By default, the TimePicker’s Format is based on the culture.
But the Format of the TimePicker 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.

<SfTimePicker TValue="DateTime?" Value="@TimeValue" Step=60 Format="HH:mm"></SfTimePicker>

@code {
    public DateTime TimeValue { get; set; } = DateTime.Now;
}
