Elements

DateTimeLocal

Laminas\Form\Element\DateTimeLocal is meant to be paired with the FormDateTimeLocal helper for HTML5 inputs with type "datetime-local". This element adds filters and validators to its input filter specification in order to validate a local datetime input value on the server.

Basic Usage

This element automatically adds a type attribute of value datetime-local.

use Laminas\Form\Element;
use Laminas\Form\Form;

$dateTimeLocal = new Element\DateTimeLocal('appointment-date-time');
$dateTimeLocal->setLabel('Appointment Date');
$dateTimeLocal->setAttributes([
    'min'  => '2010-01-01T00:00:00',
    'max'  => '2020-01-01T00:00:00',
    'step' => '1', // minutes; default step interval is 1 min
]);
$dateTimeLocal->setOptions([
    'format' => 'Y-m-d\TH:i',
]);

$form = new Form('my-form');
$form->add($dateTimeLocal);

Here is with the array notation:

use Laminas\Form\Element;
use Laminas\Form\Form;

$form = new Form('my-form');
$form->add([
    'type' => Element\DateTimeLocal::class,
    'name' => 'appointment-date-time',
    'options' => [
        'label'  => 'Appointment Date',
        'format' => 'Y-m-d\TH:i'
    ],
    'attributes' => [
        'min' => '2010-01-01T00:00:00',
        'max' => '2020-01-01T00:00:00',
        'step' => '1', // minutes; default step interval is 1 min
    ],
]);

Set all attributes before calling prepare

The min, max, and step attributes should be set prior to calling Laminas\Form::prepare(). Otherwise, the default input specification for the element may not contain the correct validation rules.
