Tempus Dominus is a date and time picker library for JavaScript that provides a robust interface for selecting dates and times in web applications.
The tool addresses the need for a flexible date/time selection component by offering a modern, TypeScript-written picker that works without jQuery, Bootstrap, or Moment.js as dependencies. It requires only Popper2 for positioning functionality. The picker is designed for contemporary browsers and includes a jQuery provider wrapper for projects that still depend on jQuery, though the maintainer recommends moving away from jQuery entirely.
The project suits developers building web applications that need reliable date and time selection without heavy framework dependencies. It works well for teams that have modernized their JavaScript stack and want a lightweight alternative to older picker libraries. The tool is appropriate for projects where Bootstrap integration is not a requirement, since the picker operates independently of that framework.
The project is no longer actively maintained or supported. The maintainer has moved on to other projects and will only address new issues through paid sponsorship arrangements. Priority support is available at an hourly rate through direct contact, and a Discord server is available for urgent requests and installation assistance. The repository includes development tooling for building and serving documentation locally, with npm scripts for watching changes during development.
