React Scheduler - Create from Selection

This demo creates a new appointment from a multi-cell selection. Click and drag across two or more time cells to select a range. Our Scheduler opens the appointment popup pre-populated with the corresponding start date, end date, and resource group.

DevExtreme Scheduler raises the onSelectionEnd event when a user selects cells. The event's selectedCellData array contains one object per selected cell, each with startDate, endDate, allDay, and group field values.

In this sample, the event handler ignores single-cell selection and passes a new appointment object built from the first and last cell in the selection to the showAppointmentPopup method.
