Disable specific time.

Type:

func

Signature:

function(value: TDate, view: TimeView) => boolean
  • value The value to check.
  • view The clock type of the timeValue.

Returns: If true the time will be disabled.

shouldRespectLeadingZeros

If true, the format will respect the leading zeroes (e.g: on dayjs, the format M/D/YYYY will render 8/16/2018) If false, the format will always add leading zeroes (e.g: on dayjs, the format M/D/YYYY will render 08/16/2018)
Warning n°1: Luxon is not able to respect the leading zeroes when using macro tokens (e.g: "DD"), so shouldRespectLeadingZeros={true} might lead to inconsistencies when using AdapterLuxon.
Warning n°2: When shouldRespectLeadingZeros={true}, the field will add an invisible character on the sections containing a single digit to make sure onChange is fired. If you need to get the clean value from the input, you can remove this character using input.value.replace(/\u200e/g, '').
Warning n°3: When used in strict mode, dayjs and moment require to respect the leading zeros. This mean that when using shouldRespectLeadingZeros={false}, if you retrieve the value directly from the input (not listening to onChange) and your format contains tokens without leading zeros, the value will not be parsed by your library.
