The time input component allows users to easily select times. Users can pick times for appointments, deadlines, or any time-related tasks within an app. These components are essential because they simplify entering times, reducing errors and ensuring accuracy. The time input component utilizes the native Android and iOS time pickers.

You can trigger actions to happen when an event occurs.
This event fires when the user has selected a time using the time picker.
Opens the time picker to prompt the user to enter a time.
Returns the hour from the time picker in 24-hour format. For example, if the user selects 2:30 PM, this block returns 14.
Returns the minutes from the time picker in. For example, if the user selects 2:30 PM, this block returns 30.
Returns the selected time from the time picker in the same format as the time input's style property. For example, if the user selects 2:30 PM, and the style is set to Hour:Minute AM/PM, this block returns 2:30 PM. If the user selects 2:30 PM, and the style is set to Hour:Minute 24h, this block returns 14:30.
The time the user selects automatically displays in the time input label, but if you want to save the time to be used later, you can use the block combination below to save the time as a variable.

There are two types of property blocks: dark green "set" and light green "get" blocks. The specific blocks available vary according to the UI component.
The dark green set blocks allow you to change the component's properties using blocks. For example, if you don't want a button to be enabled for a user until they've typed a set number of characters into a text input component, you can use the button's dark green set button's disabled status block.
The light green get blocks allow you to access the properties of a component (e.g. color, font, width, text, etc.).
