jQuery & jQuery UI Based Masked Picker

A jQuery & jQuery UI plugin that implements a masked picker to fill in a custom-formatted string. Displays a set of options for each "page" and can embed other jQuery UI widgets (e.g. datepicker).

More features:

  • Mouse-friendly navigation and data selection.
  • Keyboard-friendly navigation and data entry.
  • Actively highlights the currently affected section of text.
  • jQuery UI Themeroller compatible.
  • Licensed under the MIT or LGPL.

Basic usage:

1. Include jQuery & jQuery UI on your web page.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.11.2/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css"> 

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.11.2/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>

2. Include Masked Picker's Javascript and CSS after jQuery library.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="jquery.ui.maskedpicker.css">
<script src="jquery.ui.maskedpicker.js"></script>

3. Create a normal input for the time selection.

<input class="text" type="text" id="demo" value="">

4. Call the plugin and apply the input mask options to the time input.

$(function() {
  $('#demo').maskedpicker({
    maxWidth: 400,
    mask: [
      { 'type': 'select', 'page': 'Hour', 'values': [
        ['1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6'],
        ['7', '8', '9', '10', '11', '12']
      ] },
      { 'type': 'fixed', 'value': ':' },
      { 'type': 'select', 'page': 'Minute', 'values': [
        ['00', '15', '30', '45']
      ] },
      { 'type': 'fixed', 'value': ' ' },
      { 'type': 'select', 'page': 'AM/PM', 'case': 'insensitive', 'values': [
        ['am', 'pm']
      ] }
    ],
    initial: '12:00 am'
  });
});

5. All the mask options.

// The jQuery object of the element to match page width to.
// Default: null (uses the input element width)
widthElement: null,

// The minimum width of each page.
// Default: -1 (no minimum width)
minWidth: -1,

// The maximum width of each page.
// Default: -1 (no maximum width)
maxWidth: -1,

// An array of submasks.
// Default: Empty array (but an empty array isn't particularly useful)
mask: [],

// The initial value to use.If not specified, the element's value will be used.
// Default: null
initial: null,

onFirstFocus: null,

// An optional callback function that will be called during initialization.
// Useful for handling custom mask types.
// Default: null
// Params: onInit(str, currmask, pos, mask)
// Return: str (modified as necessary)
onInit: null,

// An optional callback function that will be called whenever the element is updated.
// Updates are done very frequently, so callback code should be kept to a minimum.
// Default: null
// Params: onUpdate(currmask, pos, mask)
onUpdate: null,

// An optional callback function that will be called whenever a page is hidden.
// Useful for removing events added by onShowPage().
// Default: null
// Params: onCleanupPage(currmask, bodyDiv, pos, mask)
onCleanupPage: null,

// An optional callback function that will be called whenever a page is displayed.
// Useful for adding custom mask types and events.
// Default: null
// Params: onShowPage(currmask, bodyDiv, pos, mask)
onShowPage: null,

// An optional callback function that will be called whenever the user presses a key.
// Useful for handling custom selection and navigation.
// Note that this may require using "private" widget calls (underscore prefix)
// to get full functionality working.
// Default: null
// Params: onKeypress(handled, e, options, currmask, bodyDiv, pos, mask)
// Return: handled (modified as necessary)
onKeypress: null,

// The location of the pages in relation to atPosition.
myPosition: 'left top',

// The location of the element in relation to myPosition.
// The default is to try to show the top left of the widget
// just below the bottom left of the input element.
atPosition: 'left bottom',

// Standard jQuery show() options array (e.g. animation when showing).
showOptions: {},

// Standard jQuery hide() options array (e.g. animation when hiding).
hideOptions: {},

// The jQuery object of the element (usually hidden)
// to store the selected mask values in JSON format.
finalElement: null
