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 * as ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import * as React from 'react';
import { useRef } from 'react';
import { Day, Week, WorkWeek, Month, ScheduleComponent, ViewsDirective, ViewDirective, Inject } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-schedule';
import { scheduleData } from './datasource';

const App = () => {
  const scheduleObj = useRef(null);
  const eventSettings = { dataSource: scheduleData };
  const onCellClick = (args) => {
    scheduleObj.current.openEditor(args, 'Add');
  }
  const onEventClick = (args) => {
    if (!(args.event.RecurrenceRule)) {
      scheduleObj.current.openEditor(args.event, 'Save');
    }
    else {
      scheduleObj.current.quickPopup.openRecurrenceAlert();
    }
  }

  return (<div>
    <ScheduleComponent ref={scheduleObj} height='550px' selectedDate={new Date(2021, 7, 15)}
      eventSettings={eventSettings} showQuickInfo={false} eventClick={onEventClick}
      cellClick={onCellClick} >
      <ViewsDirective>
        <ViewDirective option='Day' />
        <ViewDirective option='Week' />
        <ViewDirective option='WorkWeek' />
        <ViewDirective option='Month' />
      </ViewsDirective>
      <Inject services={[Day, Week, WorkWeek, Month]} />
    </ScheduleComponent>
  </div>)

};
const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('schedule'));
root.render(<App />);
import * as ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import * as React from 'react';
import { useRef } from 'react';
import {
  Day, Week, WorkWeek, Month, ScheduleComponent, ViewsDirective, ViewDirective, CellClickEventArgs, EventSettingsModel, EventClickArgs, Inject
} from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-schedule';
import { scheduleData } from './datasource';

const App = () => {
  const scheduleObj = useRef<ScheduleComponent>(null);
  const eventSettings: EventSettingsModel = { dataSource: scheduleData };
  const onCellClick = (args: CellClickEventArgs): void => {
    scheduleObj.current.openEditor(args, 'Add');
  }
  const onEventClick = (args: EventClickArgs): void => {
    if (!(args.event as any).RecurrenceRule) {
      scheduleObj.current.openEditor(args.event, 'Save');
    }
    else {
      scheduleObj.current.quickPopup.openRecurrenceAlert();
    }
  }

  return (<div>
    <ScheduleComponent ref={scheduleObj} height='550px' selectedDate={new Date(2021, 7, 15)}
      eventSettings={eventSettings} showQuickInfo={false} eventClick={onEventClick}
      cellClick={onCellClick} >
      <ViewsDirective>
        <ViewDirective option='Day' />
        <ViewDirective option='Week' />
        <ViewDirective option='WorkWeek' />
        <ViewDirective option='Month' />
      </ViewsDirective>
      <Inject services={[Day, Week, WorkWeek, Month]} />
    </ScheduleComponent>
  </div>)
