sap.ui.model.type.TimeLocate this document in the navigation structure

The Time data type represents a time (without date).

This type transforms a source value (given value in the model) into a formatted time string and the other way round.

The format patterns must be defined in LDML Date Format notation. For the output, the use of a style ("short, "medium", "long" or "full") instead of a pattern is preferred, as it will automatically use a locale dependent time pattern.

Examples how a Time type can be initialized:

// The source value is given as Javascript Date object. The used output pattern depends on the locale settings (default).
var oType = new sap.ui.model.type.Time();
// The source value is given as Javascript Date object. The used output pattern is "hh-mm-ss": e.g. 09-11-27
oType = new sap.ui.model.type.Time({pattern: "hh-mm-ss"}); 
// The source value is given as string in "hh-mm-ss" format. The used output style is "short". The styles are language dependent.
// The following styles are possible: short, medium (default), long, full
// This usecase might be the common one.
oType = new sap.ui.model.type.Date({source: {pattern: "hh-mm-ss"}, style: "short"}); 
// The source value is given as string in "hh/mm/ss/SSS" format. The used output pattern is "HH:mm:ss '+' SSS 'ms'": e.g. 18:48:48 + 374 ms
oType = new sap.ui.model.type.Time({source: {pattern: "hh/mm/ss/SSS"}, pattern: "HH:mm:ss '+' SSS 'ms'"}); 
// The source value is given as timestamp. The used output pattern is "HH 'Hours' mm 'Minutes'": e.g. 18 Hours 48 Minutes
oType = new sap.ui.model.type.Time({source: {pattern: "timestamp"}, pattern: "HH 'Hours' mm 'Minutes'"}); 
// The source value is given as string. The used input pattern depends on the locale settings (default). The used output pattern is "hh:mm a": e.g. 06:48 PM
oType = new sap.ui.model.type.Time({source: {}, pattern: "hh:mm a"});

The Time type supports the following validation constraints:

  • maximum (expects an time presented in the source-pattern format)
  • minimum (expects an time presented in the source-pattern format)
