📦 Installation

npm install @poursha98/react-ios-time-picker

Requirements: Tailwind CSS v3.0+ must be installed.

🚀 Quick Start

Simple Usage (All-in-One)

import { useState } from "react";
import { TimePicker } from "@poursha98/react-ios-time-picker";
// No CSS import needed! ✨

function App() {
  const [time, setTime] = useState("09:30");

  return (
    <TimePicker
      value={time}
      onChange={setTime}
      onConfirm={() => console.log("Selected:", time)}
    />
  );
}

12-Hour Format with AM/PM

import { useState } from "react";
import { TimePicker } from "@poursha98/react-ios-time-picker";

function App() {
  const [time, setTime] = useState("02:30 PM");

  return <TimePicker value={time} onChange={setTime} is12Hour />;
}

Infinite Scrolling (Loop)

Enable infinite looping for wheels (except AM/PM):

<TimePicker value={time} onChange={setTime} loop />

Customizing Styles

Easily override default styles with your own Tailwind classes:

<TimePicker
  value={time}
  onChange={setTime}
  className="bg-slate-900 p-8 rounded-3xl shadow-2xl" // Override container
/>

Or use compound components for granular control:

<TimePickerRoot
  value={time}
  onChange={setTime}
  className="bg-linear-to-br from-purple-500 to-pink-500 p-8"
>
  <TimePickerTitle className="text-white text-2xl">Pick a Time</TimePickerTitle>
  <TimePickerWheels>
    <TimePickerWheel type="hour" className="bg-white/20 backdrop-blur" />
    <TimePickerSeparator className="text-white">:</TimePickerSeparator>
    <TimePickerWheel type="minute" className="bg-white/20 backdrop-blur" />
  </TimePickerWheels>
  <TimePickerButton className="bg-white text-purple-600 hover:bg-gray-100">
    Confirm
  </TimePickerButton>
</TimePickerRoot>

Customizing Wheel Item Colors

Customize the colors of wheel items using the classNames prop:

<TimePickerWheel
  type="hour"
  classNames={{
    item: "text-gray-400", // Unselected items
    selectedItem: "text-primary", // Selected item
  }}
/>

You can also use Tailwind's arbitrary variant syntax to target data attributes:

<TimePickerWheel
  type="minute"
  className="[&_[data-wheel-item]]:text-gray-400 [&_[data-wheel-item][data-selected]]:text-blue-500"
/>

Compound Components (Full Control)

For maximum flexibility, use individual compound components:

import { useState } from "react";
import {
  TimePickerRoot,
  TimePickerTitle,
  TimePickerWheels,
  TimePickerWheel,
  TimePickerSeparator,
  TimePickerButton,
} from "@poursha98/react-ios-time-picker";

function CustomTimePicker() {
  const [time, setTime] = useState("09:30");

  return (
    <TimePickerRoot
      value={time}
      onChange={setTime}
      className="bg-slate-900 rounded-2xl p-6"
    >
      <TimePickerTitle className="text-white text-xl font-bold mb-4">
        ⏰ Select Time
      </TimePickerTitle>

      <TimePickerWheels className="flex justify-center items-center gap-2">
        <TimePickerWheel type="hour" className="bg-slate-800 rounded-lg" />

        <TimePickerSeparator className="text-blue-400 text-2xl font-bold">
          :
        </TimePickerSeparator>

        <TimePickerWheel type="minute" className="bg-slate-800 rounded-lg" />
      </TimePickerWheels>

      <TimePickerButton className="mt-6 w-full bg-blue-500 text-white py-3 rounded-xl">
        Confirm Selection
      </TimePickerButton>
    </TimePickerRoot>
  );
}

12-Hour with Compound Components

<TimePickerRoot value={time} onChange={setTime} is12Hour>
  <TimePickerWheels>
    <TimePickerWheel type="hour" />
    <TimePickerSeparator>:</TimePickerSeparator>
    <TimePickerWheel type="minute" />
    <TimePickerWheel type="period" /> {/* AM/PM wheel */}
  </TimePickerWheels>
  <TimePickerButton />
</TimePickerRoot>

Low-Level Wheel (Custom Pickers)

Build completely custom pickers using the base Wheel component:

import { useState } from "react";
import { Wheel } from "@poursha98/react-ios-time-picker";

const fruits = [
  "🍎 Apple",
  "🍊 Orange",
  "🍋 Lemon",
  "🍇 Grape",
  "🍓 Strawberry",
];

function FruitPicker() {
  const [selected, setSelected] = useState(0);

  return (
    <Wheel
      items={fruits}
      value={selected}
      onChange={setSelected}
      itemHeight={48}
      visibleCount={5}
    />
  );
}

🎨 Styling

CSS Variables

Customize colors using CSS variables:

:root {
  --time-picker-bg: #ffffff;
  --time-picker-text: #1f2937;
  --time-picker-text-secondary: #9ca3af;
  --time-picker-primary: #3b82f6;
  --time-picker-primary-light: rgba(59, 130, 246, 0.1);
}

/* Dark mode */
.dark {
  --time-picker-bg: #1f2937;
  --time-picker-text: #f3f4f6;
  --time-picker-text-secondary: #9ca3af;
  --time-picker-primary: #60a5fa;
  --time-picker-primary-light: rgba(96, 165, 250, 0.1);
}

Data Attribute Selectors

Style using data attributes for more specificity:

/* Root */
[data-time-picker] {
  background: #1e293b;
}

/* Title */
[data-time-picker-title] {
  color: white;
}

/* Wheel items - no default colors, customize as needed */
[data-wheel-item] {
  color: #94a3b8; /* Unselected items */
}

[data-wheel-item][data-selected] {
  color: #3b82f6; /* Selected item */
  font-weight: bold;
}

/* Wheel indicator */
[data-wheel-indicator] {
  border-color: #3b82f6;
}

Note: As of version 2.0, wheel items no longer have hardcoded text colors. You must explicitly set colors using the classNames prop, data attribute selectors, or the className prop on TimePickerWheel.

Tailwind CSS Example
