Happy to.
I'm creating a timesheet and we don't want employees clocking in at 7:07, we want the ability to only select the nearest n minutes depending on employee (their role some are rounded to nearest 5 mins, others to nearest 15). Or if our service reps have a charge out rate rounded to 2 hours, it would be nice to implement that on the component itself, rather than a validation check.
We could pass in an object for each unit increment option that allows us to set what the increment is for each value (hour, minute).
This tool does a really good job at handling this scenario (see 'increment' https://github.com/fengyuanchen/pickerjs/blob/master/README.md#options)
It also handles scenarios like break/lunch durations better because it allows the ability to turn on/off AM/PM through a string format, or what if I only want minutes or hours?
For example, if I want to implement a break/lunch duration time picker (hh:mm format), I would have to manually hide the am/pm buttons through ::ng-deep, then trim the AM/PM off the text on the timeChanged event. I'm still new to your tools, so this may be possible, but I haven't seen anything in the documentation about it.
