Angular Scheduler - SchedulerToolbarItem

Configures toolbar items.

import { DxSchedulerTypes } from "devextreme-angular/ui/scheduler"
Type: DxSchedulerTypes.ToolbarItem

The toolbar can contain the following elements as items:

  • Predefined controls
    Predefined controls appear in the toolbar depending on whether a specific Scheduler feature is enabled. The following predefined controls are available:

    Control Name Image
    dateNavigator DevExtreme Scheduler toolbar date navigator
    viewSwitcher DevExtreme Scheduler toolbar view switcher
    today DevExtreme Scheduler toolbar today button

    If you need to customize a predefined control, add an object to the items[] array. This object must contain the control's name and properties you want to customize. If a control does not need customization, you can include its name in the toolbar.items[] array.

    jQuery
    index.js
    $(function(){
        $("#schedulerContainer").dxScheduler({
            // ...
            toolbar: {
                items: [
                    "dateNavigator",
                    "today"
                ]  
            }
        });
    });
    Angular
    app.component.html
    <dx-scheduler ... >
        <dxo-scheduler-toolbar>
            <dxi-scheduler-toolbar-item name="dateNavigator"></dxi-scheduler-toolbar-item>
            <dxi-scheduler-toolbar-item name="today"></dxi-scheduler-toolbar-item>
        </dxo-scheduler-toolbar>
    </dx-scheduler>
    Vue
    App.vue
    <template>
        <DxScheduler ... >
            <DxToolbar>
                <DxItem name="dateNavigator" />
                <DxItem name="today" />
            </DxToolbar>
        </DxScheduler>
    </template>
    <script setup lang="ts">
        import DxScheduler, { DxToolbar, DxItem } from 'devextreme-vue/scheduler';
    </script>
    React
    App.js
    import Scheduler, { Toolbar, Item } from 'devextreme-react/scheduler';
    // ...
    function App() {
        return (
            <Scheduler ... >
                <Toolbar>
                    <Item name="dateNavigator" />
                    <Item name="today" />
                </Toolbar>
            </Scheduler>
        );
    }
    IMPORTANT
    The Scheduler does not display controls missing from the items[] array. Ensure that this array includes controls for all enabled features.

    The "dateNavigator" predefined control is a ButtonGroup with three items: left arrow ('prev'), right arrow ('next'), and date interval ('dateInterval'). Define options.items following the example below to customize the order of dateNavigator components and add new buttons.

    jQuery
    index.js
    const customButton = {
        text: "Custom Button",
        icon: "plus",
        onClick: () => {
            console.log("The Custom Button was clicked.")
        }
    }
    
    const dateNavigatorOptions = {
        items: ['prev', 'dateInterval', customButton, 'next']
    }
    
    $(function(){
        $("#schedulerContainer").dxScheduler({
            // ...
            toolbar: {
                items: [{
                    name: "dateNavigator",      
                    options: dateNavigatorOptions
                }]  
            }
        });
    });

  • DevExtreme components

    jQuery

    You can use DevExtreme components as toolbar items. Set the widget property to specify the component you want to use and configure the component's options:

    index.js
    $(function(){
        $("#schedulerContainer").dxScheduler({
            // ...
            toolbar: {
                items: [{
                    widget: "dxSelectBox",
                    options: {
                        // SelectBox properties are specified here
                    }
                }]  
            }
        });
    });
    Angular

    You can use DevExtreme components as toolbar items. Declare a dxi-item element to add a supported component:

    app.component.html
    <dx-scheduler ... >
        <dxo-scheduler-toolbar>
            <dxi-scheduler-toolbar-item>
                <dx-select-box>
                    <!-- SelectBox properties are specified here -->
                </dx-select-box>
            </dxi-scheduler-toolbar-item>
        </dxo-scheduler-toolbar>
    </dx-scheduler>
    Vue

    You can use DevExtreme components as toolbar items. Declare a DxItem element to add a supported component:

                <DxItem>
                    <DxSelectBox>
                        <!-- SelectBox properties are specified here -->
                    </DxSelectBox>
                </DxItem>
            </DxToolbar>
        </DxScheduler>
    </template>
    <script>
    import { DxScheduler, DxToolbar, DxItem } from 'devextreme-vue/scheduler';
    import { DxSelectBox } from 'devextreme-vue/select-box';
    
    export default {
        components: {
            DxScheduler, 
            DxToolbar, 
            DxItem,
            DxSelectBox
        }
    };
    </script>
    React

    You can use DevExtreme components as toolbar items. Declare an Item element to add a supported component:

    App.js
    import { SelectBox } from 'devextreme-react/select-box';
    import Scheduler, { Toolbar, Item } from 'devextreme-react/scheduler';
    // ...
    function App() {
        return (
            <Scheduler ... >
                <Toolbar>
                    <Item>
                        <SelectBox>
                            {/* SelectBox properties are specified here */}
                        </SelectBox>
                    </Item>
                </Toolbar>

        );
    }
  • Custom controls
    To use a custom control, specify a template for it.

cssClass

Specifies a CSS class to be applied to the item.

Type:

String

| undefined
Default Value: undefined

disabled

Specifies whether the UI component item responds to user interaction.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false

html

Specifies the HTML markup to be inserted into the item element.

Type:

String

The Scheduler component evaluates the html property's value. This evaluation, however, makes the Scheduler potentially vulnerable to XSS attacks. To guard against these attacks, encode the HTML markup before you assign it to the html property. Refer to the following help topic for more information: Potentially Vulnerable API - html.

You can use the text property as a safe alternative.

locateInMenu

Specifies when to display an item in the toolbar's overflow menu.

Default Value: 'never'

location

Specifies toolbar item location.

Default Value: 'center'

menuItemTemplate

Specifies a template that should be used to render a menu item.

template

The following types of the specified value are available.
