# Getting Started with Syncfusion® Scheduler Component in Vue 3
This article provides a step-by-step guide for setting up a [Vite](https://vitejs.dev/) project with a JavaScript environment and integrating the Syncfusion® Vue Scheduler component using the [Composition API](https://vuejs.org/guide/introduction.html#composition-api) / [Options API](https://vuejs.org/guide/introduction.html#options-api).
The `Composition API` is a new feature introduced in Vue.js 3 that provides an alternative way to organize and reuse component logic. It allows developers to write components as functions that use smaller, reusable functions called composition functions to manage their properties and behavior.
The `Options API` is the traditional way of writing Vue.js components, where the component logic is organized into a series of options that define the component's properties and behavior. These options include data, methods, computed properties, watchers, lifecycle hooks, and more.
## Prerequisites
[System requirements for Syncfusion® Vue UI components](https://ej2.syncfusion.com/vue/documentation/system-requirements/)
## Set up the Vite project
A recommended approach for beginning with Vue is to scaffold a project using [Vite](https://vitejs.dev/). To create a new Vite project, use one of the commands that are specific to either NPM or Yarn.
```bash
npm create vite@latest
```
or
```bash
yarn create vite
```
Using one of the above commands will lead you to set up additional configurations for the project as below:
1.Define the project name: We can specify the name of the project directly. Let's specify the name of the project as `my-project` for this article.
```bash
? Project name: » my-project
```
2.Select `Vue` as the framework. It will creates a Vue 3 project.
```bash
? Select a framework: » - Use arrow-keys. Return to submit.
Vanilla
> Vue
React
Preact
Lit
Svelte
Others
```
3.Choose `JavaScript` as framework variant to build this Vite project using JavaScript and Vue.
```bash
? Select a variant: » - Use arrow-keys. Return to submit.
> JavaScript
TypeScript
Customize with create-vue ↗
Nuxt ↗
```
4.Upon completing the aforementioned steps to create the `my-project`, run the following command to install its dependencies:
```bash
cd my-project
npm install
```
or
```bash
cd my-project
yarn install
```
Now that `my-project` is ready to run with default settings, let's add Syncfusion® Scheduler component to the project.
## Adding Syncfusion® Vue packages
Syncfusion® Vue component packages are available at [npmjs.com](https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=ej2-vue). To use Syncfusion® Vue components in the project, install the corresponding npm package.
This article uses the [Vue Scheduler component](https://www.syncfusion.com/vue-components/vue-scheduler) as an example. To use the `Vue Scheduler` component in the project, the `@syncfusion/ej2-vue-schedule` package needs to be installed using the following command
```bash
npm install @syncfusion/ej2-vue-schedule --save
```
or
```bash
yarn add @syncfusion/ej2-vue-schedule
```
## Import Syncfusion® CSS styles
You can import themes for the Syncfusion® Vue component in various ways, such as using CSS or SASS styles from npm packages, CDN, [CRG](https://ej2.syncfusion.com/javascript/documentation/common/custom-resource-generator/) and [Theme Studio](https://ej2.syncfusion.com/vue/documentation/appearance/theme-studio/). Refer to [themes topic](https://ej2.syncfusion.com/vue/documentation/appearance/theme/) to know more about built-in themes and different ways to refer to themes in a Vue project.
In this article, `Material` theme is applied using CSS styles, which are available in installed packages. The necessary `Material` CSS styles for the Scheduler component and its dependents were imported into the `
```
> **Note**: Scheduler component use other Syncfusion® components too, the dependent component's CSS references need to be added for using all the Scheduler functionalities.
## Add Syncfusion® Vue component
Follow the below steps to add the Vue Scheduler component using `Composition API` or `Options API`:
1.First, import and register the Scheduler component and its child directives in the `script` section of the **src/App.vue** file. If you are using the `Composition API`, you should add the `setup` attribute to the `script` tag to indicate that Vue will be using the `Composition API`.
{% tabs %}
{% highlight html tabtitle="Composition API (~/src/App.vue)" %}
{% endhighlight %}
{% highlight html tabtitle="Options API (~/src/App.vue)" %}
{% endhighlight %}
{% endtabs %}
2.In the `template` section, define the Scheduler component with the [selectedDate](https://ej2.syncfusion.com/vue/documentation/api/schedule/#selecteddate), [eventSettings](https://ej2.syncfusion.com/vue/documentation/api/schedule/#eventsettings) properties and [resources](https://ej2.syncfusion.com/vue/documentation/api/schedule/#resources) definition with [dataSource](https://ej2.syncfusion.com/vue/documentation/api/schedule/resourcesModel/#datasource) property.
```html
```
3.Declare the values for the `selectedDate`, `eventSettings` and `resources` `dataSource` properties in the `script` section.
{% tabs %}
{% highlight html tabtitle="Composition API (~/src/App.vue)" %}
{% endhighlight %}
{% highlight html tabtitle="Options API (~/src/App.vue)" %}
{% endhighlight %}
{% endtabs %}
Here is the summarized code for the above steps in the **src/App.vue** file:
{% tabs %}
{% highlight html tabtitle="Composition API (~/src/App.vue)" %}
{% endhighlight %}
{% highlight html tabtitle="Options API (~/src/App.vue)" %}
{% endhighlight %}
{% endtabs %}
## Run the project
To run the project, use the following command:
```bash
npm run dev
```
or
```bash
yarn run dev
```
The output will appear as follows:
