## 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.

## 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.
