Strict Mode in Blazor TimePicker Component

17 Nov 20232 minutes to read

The StrictMode is an act that allows to enter only valid time value within the specified Min/Max range in the textbox. If the value is invalid, the component value sets to the previous value. If the value is out of range, the component sets the time value to Min/Max value.

The following example demonstrates the TimePicker in StrictMode with Min/Max range of 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM . It allows to enter only valid time within the specified range.

• If you enter the out-of-range value like 8:00 PM, the value sets to the Max time 4:00 PM as the value 8:00 PM is greater than Max value of 4:00 PM.

• If you enter invalid time value like 9:00 tt, the value sets to the previous value.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Calendars

<SfTimePicker TValue="DateTime?" Value='@TimeValue' StrictMode=true Min='@MinVal' Max='@MaxVal'></SfTimePicker>

@code {
    public DateTime MinVal { get; set; } = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.Month, 15, 08, 00, 00);
    public DateTime MaxVal { get; set; } = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.Month, 15, 16, 00, 00);
    public DateTime? TimeValue { get; set; } = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.Month, 15, 3, 00, 00);
}

By default, the TimePicker act in StrictMode as false state, that allows to enter the invalid or out-of-range time in textbox.

If the time is out-of-range or invalid, then the model value will be set to out of range time value or null respectively with highlighted error class to indicates the time is out of range or invalid.

The following example demonstrates the StrictMode as false. Here, it allows to enter the valid or invalid value in text box.

• If you are entering the out-of-range or invalid time value, then the model value will be set to out of range time value or null respectively with highlighted error class to indicate that the time is out of range or invalid.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Calendars

<SfTimePicker TValue="DateTime?" Value='@TimeValue' StrictMode=false Min='@MinVal' Max='@MaxVal'></SfTimePicker>

@code {
    public DateTime MinVal { get; set; } = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.Month, 15, 08, 00, 00);
    public DateTime MaxVal { get; set; } = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.Month, 15, 16, 00, 00);
    public DateTime? TimeValue { get; set; } = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.Month, 15, 3, 00, 00);
}

NOTE

If the value of Min or Max property is changed through code behind, update the Value property to set within the range.
