Open Editor Window externally

The Schedule component allows users to manually open the event editor at a specific time or in response to certain events by using the openEditor method, as shown below.

app.component.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { ScheduleModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-schedule'
import { ButtonModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-buttons'
import { DayService, WeekService, WorkWeekService, MonthService, AgendaService, MonthAgendaService} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-schedule'



import { Component, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { EventSettingsModel, ScheduleComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-schedule';
import { scheduleData } from './datasource';

@Component({
imports: [
        
        ScheduleModule,
        ButtonModule
    ],

providers: [DayService, 
                WeekService, 
                WorkWeekService, 
                MonthService,
                AgendaService,
                MonthAgendaService],
standalone: true,
  selector: 'app-root',
  // specifies the template string for the Schedule component
  template: `<button ejs-button cssClass='e-info' (click)='editor()'> Click to open Editor </button>
  <button ejs-button cssClass='e-info' (click)='eventEditor()'> Click to open Event Editor </button>
  <ejs-schedule #scheduleObj width='100%' height='550px' [selectedDate]="selectedDate" [eventSettings]="eventSettings" > <e-views> <e-view option="Week"></e-view> <e-view option="WorkWeek"></e-view> <e-view option="Month"></e-view> <e-view option="Day"></e-view> </e-views> </ejs-schedule>`
})
export class AppComponent {
    @ViewChild('scheduleObj')
    public scheduleObj?: ScheduleComponent;
    public selectedDate: Date = new Date(2018, 1, 15);
    public eventSettings: EventSettingsModel = { dataSource: scheduleData };
    editor(): void {
    let cellData: Object = {
        startTime: new Date(2018, 1, 15, 10, 0),
        endTime: new Date(2018, 1, 15, 11, 0),
    };
    this.scheduleObj?.openEditor(cellData,'Add');
    }
    eventEditor(): void {
    let eventData: Object ={
        Id: 4,
        Subject: 'Meteor Showers in 2018',
        StartTime: new Date(2018, 1, 14, 13, 0),
        EndTime: new Date(2018, 1, 14, 14, 30)
    };
    this.scheduleObj?.openEditor(eventData,'Save');
    }
}

Open editor window on single click

By default, the Scheduler editor window opens when double-clicking cells or appointments. To open the editor window with a single click, use the openEditor method in eventClick and cellClick events handlers, and set the showQuickInfo property to false. The following example shows how to open editor window on single click of cells and appointments.

app.component.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { ScheduleModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-schedule'
import { ButtonModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-buttons'
import { DayService, WeekService, WorkWeekService, MonthService, AgendaService, MonthAgendaService} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-schedule'



import { Component, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { EventSettingsModel, ScheduleComponent, CellClickEventArgs, EventClickArgs } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-schedule';
import { schedulerData } from './datasource';

@Component({
imports: [
        
        ScheduleModule,
        ButtonModule
    ],

providers: [DayService, 
                WeekService, 
                WorkWeekService, 
                MonthService,
                AgendaService,
                MonthAgendaService],
standalone: true,
  selector: 'app-root',
  // specifies the template string for the Schedule component
  template: `<ejs-schedule #scheduleObj width='100%' height='550px' [selectedDate]="selectedDate" [eventSettings]="eventSettings" [showQuickInfo]="showQuickInfo" (cellClick)="onCellClick($event)" (eventClick)="onEventClick($event)" > <e-views> <e-view option="Week"></e-view> <e-view option="WorkWeek"></e-view> <e-view option="Month"></e-view> <e-view option="Day"></e-view> </e-views> </ejs-schedule>`
})
export class AppComponent {
    @ViewChild('scheduleObj')
    public scheduleObj?: ScheduleComponent;
    public selectedDate: Date = new Date(2021, 7, 15);
    public eventSettings: EventSettingsModel = { dataSource: schedulerData };
    public showQuickInfo: Boolean = false;
    onCellClick(args: CellClickEventArgs): void {
        this.scheduleObj?.openEditor(args, 'Add');
    }
    onEventClick(args: EventClickArgs): void {
        if (!(args.event as any).RecurrenceRule) {
        this.scheduleObj?.openEditor(args.event, 'Save');
        }
        else {
        this.scheduleObj?.quickPopup.openRecurrenceAlert();
        }
    }
}
