Data binding

The Scheduler uses DataManager, which supports both RESTful data service binding and JavaScript object array binding. The dataSource property of Scheduler can be assigned either with the instance of DataManager or JavaScript object array collection, as it supports the following two kind of data binding methods:

  • Local data
  • Remote data

Binding local data

To bind local JSON data to the Scheduler, you can simply assign a JavaScript object array to the dataSource option of the scheduler within the eventSettings property. The JSON object dataSource can also be provided as an instance of DataManager and assigned to the Scheduler dataSource property.

By default, DataManager uses JsonAdaptor for binding local data.

You can also bind different field names to the default event fields as well as include additional custom fields to the event object collection which can be referred here.

Binding remote data

Any kind of remote data services can be bound to the Scheduler. To do so, create an instance of DataManager and provide the service URL to the url option of DataManager and then assign it to the dataSource property within eventSettings.

Using ODataV4Adaptor

ODataV4 is a standardized protocol for creating and consuming data. Refer to the following code example to retrieve the data from ODataV4 service using the DataManager. To connect with ODataV4 service end points, it is necessary to make use of ODataV4Adaptor within DataManager.

Using custom adaptor

It is possible to create your own custom adaptor by extending the built-in available adaptors. The following example demonstrates the custom adaptor usage and how to add a custom field EventID for the appointments by overriding the built-in response processing using the processResponse method of the ODataV4Adaptor.

Loading data via AJAX post

You can bind the event data through external ajax request and assign it to the dataSourceproperty of Scheduler. In the following code example, we have retrieved the data from server with the help of ajax request and assigned the resultant data to the dataSource property of Scheduler within the onSuccess event of Ajax.

[src/app/App.vue]

<template>
    <div id='app'>
      <div id='container'>
        <ejs-schedule height='550px' :selectedDate='selectedDate'
        :eventSettings='eventSettings'></ejs-schedule>
      </div>
    </div>
</template>
<script>
    import Vue from 'vue';
    import { Ajax } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
    import { SchedulePlugin, Day, Week, WorkWeek, Month, Agenda, View } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-schedule';
    Vue.use(SchedulePlugin);

    let dataManager = [];
    let ajax = new Ajax('Home/GetData', 'GET', false);
    ajax.onSuccess = function (value) {
        dataManager = value;
    };
    ajax.send();
    export default {
        data() {
            return {
                selectedDate: new Date(2017, 5, 11),
                eventSettings: { dataSource: dataManager }
            };
        },
        provide: {
            schedule: [Day, Week, WorkWeek, Month, Agenda]
        }
    }
</script>

Passing additional parameters to the server

To send an additional custom parameter to the server-side post, you need to make use of the addParams method of Query. Now, assign this Query object with additional parameters to the query property of Scheduler.

        data() {
            return {
                selectedDate: new Date(2017, 5, 11),
                readOnly: true,
                eventSettings: { dataSource: dataManager, query: dataQuery }
            };
        },

The parameters added using the query property will be sent along with the data request sent to the server on every scheduler actions.

Handling failure actions

During the time of Scheduler interacting with server, there are chances that some server-side exceptions may occur. You can acquire those error messages or exception details in client-side using the actionFailure event of Scheduler.

The argument passed to the actionFailure event contains the error details returned from the server.

The actionFailure event will be triggered not only on server returning errors, but also when there is an exception while processing any of the Scheduler CRUD actions.

Scheduler CRUD actions

The CRUD (Create, Read, Update and Delete) actions can be performed easily on Scheduler appointments using the various adaptors available within the DataManager. Most preferably, we will be using UrlAdaptor for performing CRUD actions on scheduler appointments.

[src/app/App.vue]

<template>
    <div id='app'>
      <div id='container'>
        <ejs-schedule height='550px' :selectedDate='selectedDate'
        :eventSettings='eventSettings'></ejs-schedule>
      </div>
    </div>
</template>
<script>
    import Vue from 'vue';
    import { SchedulePlugin, Day, Week, WorkWeek, Month, Agenda, View } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-schedule';
    import { DataManager, UrlAdaptor } from '@syncfusion/ej2-data';

    Vue.use(SchedulePlugin);

    let dataManager = new DataManager({
       url: 'Home/GetData', // 'controller/actions'
       crudUrl: 'Home/UpdateData',
       adaptor: new UrlAdaptor
    });
    export default {
        data() {
            return {
                selectedDate: new Date(2017, 5, 11),
                eventSettings: { dataSource: dataManager }
            };
        },
        provide: {
            schedule: [Day, Week, WorkWeek, Month, Agenda]
        }
    }
</script>

The server-side controller code to handle the CRUD operations are as follows.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;

using System.Web.Mvc;

        {

Configuring Scheduler with Google API service

We have assigned our custom created Google Calendar url to the DataManager and assigned the same to the Scheduler dataSource. Since the events data retrieved from the Google Calendar will be in its own object format, therefore it needs to be resolved manually within the Scheduler’s dataBinding event. Within this event, the event fields needs to be mapped properly and then assigned to the result.
