DurationInput

A duration field that accepts the three ways people actually write durations and emits seconds. multipleOf takes a duration too, so the message reads “must be a multiple of 15 minutes” rather than “must be a multiple of 900”. Segmented and preset layouts are available where a free-text field is the wrong shape.

Build with an agent

Hand this to Claude Code

Most people reach this component through an agent rather than by reading the page. Pick how you want it wired and take a prompt that already carries the canonical value, the real prop names and the mistakes worth avoiding.

Open in Claude Code

Nothing runs on its own. The link opens the tool with the prompt typed into the box; you read it and press Enter. If the button does nothing, Claude Code is not installed on this machine — use Copy prompt instead.

Live demo

90m, 1:30 and 1.5h all land on the same number.

value = 0 · seconds

Constraints

Validation rules, declared as props. Each one produces its own message and its own data-rule value, so a test can assert the rule rather than the sentence.

PROPTYPEDESCRIPTION
min?DurationBound—
max?DurationBound—
multipleOf?DurationBoundMust be a whole multiple of this. Accepts "15m".
maxUnit?DurationUnitLargest unit shown when formatting. Default "d".

Props

PROPTYPEDESCRIPTION
bareUnit?DurationUnitWhat a bare number means. Default "m".
presets?readonly string[]Presets offered by the `presets` layout.
label?ReactNodeVisible label. Supply this or `aria-label` — a field with neither has no accessible name.
hint?ReactNodeHelper text under the field. Replaced by the error message while one is showing.
layout?DurationLayoutPRD §6. `text` is fastest for keyboard users; `segmented` is unambiguous.
showNormalised?booleanShow the normalised value as a trailing affix. Default true.

Shared props

Implemented identically by all eleven components. These tables are generated from the source interfaces at build time, so a renamed prop changes this page rather than quietly making it wrong.

PROPTYPEDESCRIPTION
value?TCanonical value. Controlled mode.
defaultValue?TCanonical value. Uncontrolled mode. Mutually exclusive with `value`.
onChange?(value: T) => voidEmits the canonical value — never a DOM event.
onBlur?() => voidFires when focus leaves the whole component, not between its parts.
name?stringApplied to the hidden canonical input so FormData carries the real value.
disabled?boolean—
readOnly?boolean—
required?boolean | string—
validate?(value: T) => true | stringCustom synchronous rule. Return true, or the message to display.
messages?MessageMapOverride built-in messages by rule name.
showError?ShowErrorDefault `"touched"`.
onValidityChange?(state: ValidityState) => voidReports validity upward regardless of mode.
mode?FieldModeForce a mode instead of auto-detecting. Escape hatch only.
variant?FieldVariantSurface treatment. Default `"outline"`.
size?FieldSizeDensity. Default `"default"` (32px).
id?string—
className?string—
placeholder?string—
autoFocus?boolean—
aria-label?string—
aria-labelledby?string—
aria-describedby?string—
aria-invalid?boolean | "true" | "false"—

With react-hook-form

import { useForm, Controller } from "react-hook-form"
import { zodResolver } from "@hookform/resolvers/zod"
import { durationSchema } from "@inputcn/duration/schema"
import { DurationInput } from "@/components/ui/duration-input"
import { z } from "zod"

// The companion schema validates the CANONICAL value, so the resolver and the
// field can never disagree about what "valid" means.
const schema = z.object({ timeout: durationSchema() })

export function Example() {
  const { control } = useForm({ resolver: zodResolver(schema) })

  return (
    <Controller
      name="timeout"
      control={control}
      render={({ field, fieldState }) => (
        <DurationInput
          label="Session timeout"
          {...field}
          aria-invalid={fieldState.invalid}
        />
      )}
    />
  )
}

With a Server Action

import { DurationInput } from "@/components/ui/duration-input"

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <form action={save}>
      <DurationInput name="timeout" label="Session timeout" />
      <button>Save</button>
    </form>
  )
}

async function save(data: FormData) {
  "use server"
  // The hidden canonical input carries the real value, not the display text.
  const timeout = Number(data.get("timeout")) // 5400
}

Keyboard

KEYDOES
Arrow up / downSteps the focused unit, wrapping at the unit boundary.
TabMoves between hours, minutes and seconds in the segmented layout.

Emits number, for example 5400. Keyboard operation is covered by automated tests; screen readers have not been verified yet.
