render() public 

render(array $data, \Cake\View\Form\ContextInterface $context)

Render a date / time form widget.

Data supports the following keys:

  • name The name attribute.
  • val The value attribute.
  • escape Set to false to disable escaping on all attributes.
  • type A valid HTML date/time input type. Defaults to "datetime-local".
  • timezone The timezone the input value should be converted to.
  • step The "step" attribute. Defaults to 1 for "time" and "datetime-local" type inputs. You can set it to null or false to prevent explicit step attribute being added in HTML.
  • format A date() function compatible datetime format string. By default the widget will use a suitable format based on the input type and database type for the context. If an explicit format is provided, then no default value will be set for the step attribute, and it needs to be explicitly set if required.

All other keys will be converted into HTML attributes.
