# &lt;picker&gt; Development


The &lt;picker&gt; component supports common, date, time, data and time, and multi-column text selectors. For details, see [picker](../reference/arkui-js/js-components-basic-picker.md).


## Creating a &lt;picker&gt; Component

Create a &lt;picker&gt; component in the .hml file under pages/index.


```
<!-- index.hml -->
<div class="container">
  <picker>    picker  </picker>
<div>
```


```
/* index.css */
.container {
  flex-direction: column;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  background-color: #F1F3F5;
}
```

## Setting the Picker Type

Set the type attribute of the &lt;picker&gt; component. For example, set it to date.


```
<!-- index.hml -->
<div class="container">
  <picker id="picker_text" type="text" value="{{textvalue}}"range="{{rangetext}}" class="pickertext" ></picker>
  <picker id="picker_date" type="date" value="{{datevalue}}" lunarswitch="true" start="2002-2-5" end="2030-6-5" class="pickerdate"></picker>
</div>
```


```
/* index.css */
.container {
  flex-direction: column;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  background-color: #F1F3F5;
}
.pickertext{
  margin-bottom: 30px;
}
```


```
// xxx.js
export default {
  data: {
    rangetext:['15', "20", "25"],
    textvalue:'Select text',
    datevalue:'Select date',
  }
}
```

> ![icon-note.gif](public_sys-resources/icon-note.gif) **NOTE**:
> - When setting the value range of a common selector, you must use the data binding mode.
> 
> - The lunarswitch attribute of the date selector is only supported on phones and tablets.


## Setting the Time Format

Set the hours attribute to specify the time format used by the time selector. Available values include 12 and 24, indicating the 12-hour format and 24-hour format, respectively.


```
<!-- index.hml -->
<div class="container">
  <picker id="picker_time" type="time" value="12-hour format" hours="12" onchange="timeonchange"  class="pickertime"></picker>
  <picker id="picker_time" type="time" value="24-hour format" hours="24" onchange="timeonchange"  class="pickertime"></picker>
</div>
```


```
/* index.css */
.container {
  flex-direction: column;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  background-color: #F1F3F5;
}
.pickertime {
  margin-bottom:50px;
  width: 300px;
  height: 50px;
}
```

![en-us_image_0000001222807808](figures/en-us_image_0000001222807808.gif)

> ![icon-note.gif](public_sys-resources/icon-note.gif) **NOTE**:
> - When hours is set to 12, the time is displayed in 12-hour format and distinguished by a.m. and p.m.
> 
> - When hours is set to 24, the time is displayed in 24-hour format.


## Adding Response Events

To confirm and cancel selection, add change and cancel events.


```
<!-- index.hml -->
<div class="container">
  <picker id="picker_multi" type="multi-text" value="{{multitextvalue}}" columns="3" range="{{multitext}}" selected="
     {{multitextselect}}" onchange="multitextonchange" oncancel="multitextoncancel" class="pickermuitl"></picker>
</div>
```


```
/* index.css */
.container {
  flex-direction: column;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  background-color: #F1F3F5; 
}
.pickermuitl {
  margin-bottom:20px;
  width: 600px;
  height: 50px;
  font-size: 25px;
  letter-spacing:15px;
}
```


```
// xxx.js
import prompt from '@system.prompt';
export default {
  data: {
    multitext:[["a", "b", "c"], ["e", "f", "g"], ["h", "i"]],
    multitextvalue:'Select multi-line text',
    multitextselect:[0,0,0],
  },
  multitextonchange(e) {
    this.multitextvalue=e.newValue;
    prompt.showToast({ message:"Multi-column text changed to:" + e.newValue })
  },
  multitextoncancel() {
    prompt.showToast({ message:"multitextoncancel" })
  },
}
```

## Example Scenario


Implement a health check-in application by using the &lt;picker&gt; component.

```
<!-- index.hml -->
<div class="doc-page">
  <text class="title">Health check-in</text>
  <div class="out-container">
    <text class="txt">Office:</text>
    <picker class="pick" focusable="true" type="text" value="{{pos}}" range="{{posarr}}" onchange="setPos"></picker>
  </div>
  <divider class="dvd"></divider>
  <div class="out-container">
    <text class="txt">Office hours:</text>
    <picker class="pick" type="date" value="{{datevalue}}"  start="2002-2-5" end="2030-6-5" selected="{{dateselect}}"
      lunarswitch="true" onchange="dateonchange"></picker>
  </div>
  <divider class="dvd"></divider>
  <div class="out-container">
    <text class="txt">Having fever or cold symptoms</text>
    <picker class="pick" type="text" value="{{yorn1}}" range="{{yesno}}" selected="1" onchange="isFever"></picker>
  </div>
  <divider class="dvd"></divider>
  <div class="out-container">
    <text class="txt">Close contact with someone with COVID-19</text>
    <picker class="pick" type="text" value="{{yorn2}}" range="{{yesno}}" selected="1" onchange="isTouch"></picker>
  </div>
  <div class="out-container">
