Angular Scheduler - Timetable

The Scheduler UI component allows you to customize its timetable. You can specify the time period and a single cell's duration via the startDayHour, endDayHour, and cellDuration properties. Using the firstDayOfWeek property, you can define the weekday that is shown first.

jQuery
JavaScript
$(function() {
    $("#schedulerContainer").dxScheduler({
        dataSource: [{
            text: "Website Re-Design Plan",
            startDate: new Date("2016-04-25T09:30:00.000Z"),
            endDate: new Date("2016-04-25T11:30:00.000Z")
        }, {
            text: "Book Flights to San Fran for Sales Trip",
            startDate: new Date("2016-04-25T12:00:00.000Z"),
            endDate: new Date("2016-04-25T13:00:00.000Z")
        }, 
        // ...
        ],
        currentDate: new Date(2016, 4, 25),
        startDayHour: 8,
        endDayHour: 19,
        cellDuration: 60,
        firstDayOfWeek: 1
    });
});

React
App.js
import React from 'react';
import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.common.css';
import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css';

import { Scheduler } from 'devextreme-react/scheduler';

const dataSource = [{
    text: 'Website Re-Design Plan',
    startDate: new Date("2016-04-25T09:30:00.000Z"),
    endDate: new Date("2016-04-25T11:30:00.000Z")
}, {
    text: 'Book Flights to San Fran for Sales Trip',
    startDate: new Date("2016-04-25T12:00:00.000Z"),
    endDate: new Date("2016-04-25T13:00:00.000Z")
},
// ...
];

const currentDate = new Date(2016, 4, 25);

class App extends React.Component {
    render() {
        return (
            <Scheduler
                dataSource={dataSource}
                defaultCurrentDate={currentDate}
                startDayHour={8}
                endDayHour={19}
                cellDuration={60}
                firstDayOfWeek={1}
            />
        );
    }
}

export default App;

You can also adjust cells' size in the table and around it using the DevExtreme CSS classes. For example, the .dx-scheduler-cell-sizes-horizontal and .dx-scheduler-cell-sizes-vertical classes specify the cells' width and height, respectively. These classes apply if the crossScrollingEnabled property is set to true.

CSS
#yourSchedulerID .dx-scheduler-cell-sizes-horizontal {
    width: 200px;
}
#yourSchedulerID .dx-scheduler-cell-sizes-vertical {
    height: 200px;
}

For a more detailed customization, define custom templates for cells, time scales, and date scales. DevExtreme provides the dxTemplate markup component for Angular, AngularJS and Knockout apps. The following code shows how to use dxTemplate to define templates for timetable parts:

Angular
HTML
TypeScript
<dx-scheduler
    [dataSource]="schedulerData"
    [currentDate]="currentDate"
    [showAllDayPanel]="false"
    currentView="week"

    dateCellTemplate="dateCellTemplate"
    timeCellTemplate="timeCellTemplate">
    <div *dxTemplate="let data of 'dataCellTemplate'">
        <div style="width: 100%; height: 40px; background-color: rgba(86, 202, 133, 0.1);"></div>
    </div>
    <div *dxTemplate="let date of 'dateCellTemplate'">
        <b style="color: green">{{date.text}}</b>
    </div>
    <div *dxTemplate="let time of 'timeCellTemplate'">
        <i style="color: green">{{time.text}}</i>
    </div>
</dx-scheduler>

        text: "His Girl Friday",
        startDate: new Date("2016-04-24T09:10:00.000Z"),
        endDate: new Date("2016-04-24T11:20:00.000Z")
    }, {
        text: "Royal Wedding",
        startDate: new Date("2016-04-24T10:05:00.000Z"),
        endDate: new Date("2016-04-24T11:30:00.000Z")

NOTE
The dx-item-alias directive specifies the variable that is used to access the item object.

If you use jQuery alone, use DOM manipulation methods to combine the HTML markup for time scales and date scales. To apply this markup, use the timeCellTemplate, dateCellTemplate and dataCellTemplate callback functions as shown in the following code:

JavaScript
var schedulerData = [{
    text: "His Girl Friday",
    startDate: new Date("2016-04-24T09:10:00.000Z"),
    endDate: new Date("2016-04-24T11:20:00.000Z")
}, {
    text: "Royal Wedding",
    startDate: new Date("2016-04-24T10:05:00.000Z"),
    endDate: new Date("2016-04-24T11:30:00.000Z")
}, 
// ...
];

$(function () {
    $("#schedulerContainer").dxScheduler({
        dataSource: schedulerData,
        currentDate: new Date(2016, 4, 24),
        showAllDayPanel: false,
        currentView: 'week',
        dataCellTemplate: function(data, index, element) {
            return $("<div />")
                        .css('width', '100%')
                        .css('height', '40px')
                        .css('background-color', 'rgba(86, 202, 133, 0.1)');
        },
        dateCellTemplate: function(data, index, element) {
            element.text(data.text)
                    .css('color', 'green')
                    .css('font-weight', 'bold');
        },
        timeCellTemplate: function(data, index, element) {
            element.text(data.text)
                    .css('color', 'green')
                    .css('font-style', 'italic');
        }
    });
});
