import { Schedule, Day, Week, WorkWeek, Month} from '@syncfusion/ej2-schedule';
import { Button } from '@syncfusion/ej2-buttons';
import { scheduleData } from './datasource.ts';

Schedule.Inject(Day, Week, WorkWeek, Month);

let scheduleObj: Schedule = new Schedule({
    height: '550px',
    selectedDate: new Date(2018, 1, 15),
    views: ['Day', 'Week', 'WorkWeek', 'Month'],
    eventSettings: { dataSource: scheduleData }
});
scheduleObj.appendTo('#Schedule');

    let button1: Button = new Button();
    button1.appendTo('#btn1');
    let button2: Button = new Button();
    button2.appendTo('#btn2');
    button1.element.onclick = (): void => {
    let cellData: Object ={
        startTimenew Date(2018, 1, 15, 10, 0),
        endTimenew Date(2018, 1, 15, 11, 0),
        };
        scheduleObj.openEditor(cellData,'Add');
    };
    button2.element.onclick = (): 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)

Open editor window on single click

By default, Scheduler Editor window will open when double clicking the cells or appointments. You can also open the editor window with single click by using openEditor method in eventClick and cellClick events of scheduler and setting false to showQuickInfo. The following example shows how to open editor window on single click of cells and appointments.

import { Schedule, Day, Week, WorkWeek, Month, CellClickEventArgs, EventClickArgs } from '@syncfusion/ej2-schedule';
import { Button } from '@syncfusion/ej2-buttons';
import { schedulerData } from './datasource.ts';

Schedule.Inject(Day, Week, WorkWeek, Month);

let scheduleObj: Schedule = new Schedule({
    height: '550px',
    selectedDate: new Date(2021, 7, 15),
    views: ['Day', 'Week', 'WorkWeek', 'Month'],
    eventSettings: { dataSource: schedulerData },
    showQuickInfo: false,
    cellClick: (args: CellClickEventArgs) => {
        scheduleObj.openEditor(args, 'Add');
    },
    eventClick: (args: EventClickArgs) => {
        if (!(args.event as any).RecurrenceRule) {
            scheduleObj.openEditor(args.event, 'Save');
        }
        else {
            scheduleObj.quickPopup.openRecurrenceAlert();
        }
    }
});
scheduleObj.appendTo('#Schedule');
