# DateTimePicker

Select date and time in one picker.

:::tip

DateTimePicker is derived from DatePicker and TimePicker. For a more detailed explanation on attributes, you can refer to DatePicker and TimePicker.

<style lang="scss">
.example-showcase  {
  .block {
    padding: 30px 0;
    text-align: center;
    border-right: solid 1px var(--el-border-color-base);
    flex: 1;
    &:last-child {
      border-right: none;
    }
  }

  .demonstration {
    display: block;
    color: var(--el-text-color-secondary);
    font-size: 14px;
    margin-bottom: 20px;
  }
}
</style>

## Date and time

:::demo You can select date and time in one picker at the same time by setting `type` to `datetime`. The way to use shortcuts is the same as Date Picker.

## DateTime Formats

Use `format` to control displayed text's format in the input box. Use `value-format` to control binding value's format.

By default, the component accepts and emits a `Date` object.

Check the list [here](https://day.js.org/docs/en/display/format#list-of-all-available-formats) of all available formats of Day.js.

## Date and time range

:::demo You can select date and time range by setting `type` to `datetimerange`.

## Default time value for start date and end date

:::demo When picking date range on the date panel with type `datetimerange`, `00:00:00` will be used as the default time value for start and end date. We can control it with the `default-time` attribute. `default-time` accepts an array of up to two Date objects. The first item controls time value of the start date and the second item controls time value of the end date.
