Header rows in EJ2 TypeScript Schedule control

12 Jul 202420 minutes to read

The Timeline views can have additional header rows other than its default date and time header rows. It is possible to show individual header rows for displaying year, month and week separately using the headerRows property. This property is applicable only on the timeline views. The possible rows which can be added using headerRows property are as follows.

Year
Month
Week
Date
Hour

The Hour row is not applicable for Timeline month view.

The following example shows the Scheduler displaying all the available header rows on timeline views.

index.ts
index.html
import { Schedule, TimelineViews } from '@syncfusion/ej2-schedule';
import { scheduleData } from './datasource.ts';

Schedule.Inject(TimelineViews);
let scheduleObj: Schedule = new Schedule({
    width: '100%', height: '550px',
    selectedDate: new Date(2018, 11, 31),
    startHour: '09:00',
    endHour: '13:00',
    headerRows: [
        { option: 'Year' },
        { option: 'Month' },
        { option: 'Week' },
        { option: 'Date' },
        { option: 'Hour' }
    ],
    views: ['TimelineWeek'],
    eventSettings: { dataSource: scheduleData }
});
scheduleObj.appendTo('#Schedule');

Customizing the header rows using template

You can customize the text of the header rows and display any images or formatted text on each individual header rows using the built-in template option available within the headerRowsproperty.

index.ts
index.html
import { Schedule, TimelineMonth, CellTemplateArgs, getWeekNumber } from '@syncfusion/ej2-schedule';
import { Internationalization } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
import { eventData } from './datasource.ts';

Schedule.Inject(TimelineMonth);

interface TemplateFunction extends Window {
    getYearDetails?: Function;
    getMonthDetails?: Function;
    getWeekDetails?: Function;
}
let instance: Internationalization = new Internationalization();
(window as TemplateFunction).getYearDetails = (value: CellTemplateArgs) => {
    return 'Year: ' + instance.formatDate((value as CellTemplateArgs).date, { skeleton: 'y' });
};
(window as TemplateFunction).getMonthDetails = (value: CellTemplateArgs) => {
    return 'Month: '+ instance.formatDate((value as CellTemplateArgs).date, { skeleton: 'M' });
};
(window as TemplateFunction).getWeekDetails = (value: CellTemplateArgs) => {
    return 'Week ' + getWeekNumber((value as CellTemplateArgs).date);
};
let scheduleObj: Schedule = new Schedule({
    width: '100%',
    height: '550px',
    selectedDate: new Date(2018, 0, 1),
    headerRows: [
        { option: 'Year', template: '#year-template' },
        { option: 'Month', template: '#month-template' },
        { option: 'Week', template: '#week-template' },
        { option: 'Date' }
    ],
    views: [{ option: 'TimelineMonth' }],
    eventSettings: { dataSource: eventData }
});
scheduleObj.appendTo('#Schedule');
