dataSource

Binds the widget to data.

If you use DevExtreme ASP.NET MVC Controls, refer to the Bind Controls to Data article.

The Scheduler works with collections of objects.

Depending on your data source, bind the Scheduler to data as follows. In each case, also specify the widget's startDateExpr and endDateExpr options. Optionally, set other options with the Expr postfix.

  • Data Array
    Assign the array to the dataSource option. View Demo

  • Read-Only Data in JSON Format
    Set the dataSource option to the URL of a JSON file or service that returns JSON data.

  • OData
    Implement an ODataStore.

  • Web API, PHP, MongoDB
    Use one of the following extensions to enable the server to process data according to the protocol DevExtreme widgets use:

    Then, use the createStore method to configure access to the server on the client as shown below. This method is part of DevExtreme.AspNet.Data.

    jQuery
    JavaScript
    $(function() {
        let serviceUrl = "https://url/to/my/service";
        $("#schedulerContainer").dxScheduler({
            // ...

  • Any other data source
    Implement a CustomStore. View Demo

Regardless of the data source on the input, the Scheduler always wraps it in the DataSource object. This object allows you to sort, filter, group, and otherwise shape data. To get its instance, call the getDataSource() method.

NOTE

Please review the following notes about data binding:

  • If you wrap the store into the DataSource object explicitly, set the paginate option to false to prevent data from partitioning.

  • Data field names should not contain the following characters: ., ,, :, [, and ].

  • DataSource and stores provide methods to process and update data. However, the methods do not allow you to perform particular tasks (for example, replace the entire dataset, reconfigure data access at runtime). For such tasks, create a new array, store, or DataSource and assign it to the dataSource option as shown in the articles about changing options in jQuery, Angular, React, and Vue.

dateCellComponent

An alias for the dateCellTemplate option specified in React. Accepts a custom component. Refer to Using a Custom Component for more information.

  • "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ" - the UTC date and time

In case of recurring appointments or appointments with multiple resources, you may want to obtain information about the currently selected appointment, not the initial appointment. For this purpose, use the targetedAppointmentData field of the function parameter. Otherwise, use the appointmentData field.

For example, there is a recurring appointment that starts on July 18 at 8:00 AM, repeats every day and belongs to two owners:

JavaScript
var appointments = [
    ...
    {
        startDate: new Date(2016, 6, 18, 8),
        endDate: new Date(2016, 6, 18, 9),
        ownerId: [1, 2],
        recurrenceRule: "FREQ=DAILY"
    }
];

If you click an appointment from the recurring series, for example the second appointment belonging to the second owner, the following information is presented in the appointmentData and targetedAppointmentData fields.

JavaScript
onAppointmentClick: function(e) {
    /* The initial appointment data
        {
            startDate: new Date(2016, 6, 18, 8), 
            endDate: new Date(2016, 6, 18, 9),
            ownerId: [1, 2],
            recurrenceRule: "FREQ=DAILY"
        }
    */
    var appointmentData = e.appointmentData;

    /* The clicked appointment data
        {
            startDate: new Date(2016, 6, 19, 8), 
            endDate: new Date(2016, 6, 19, 9),
            ownerId: 2,

In case of recurring appointments or appointments with multiple resources, you may want to obtain information about the currently selected appointment, not the initial appointment. For this purpose, use the targetedAppointmentData field of the function parameter. Otherwise, use the appointmentData field.

For example, there is a recurring appointment that starts on July 18 at 8:00 AM, repeats every day and belongs to two owners:

JavaScript
var appointments = [
    ...
    {
        startDate: new Date(2016, 6, 18, 8),

    }
];

If you double-click an appointment from the recurring series, for example the second appointment belonging to the second owner, the following information is presented in the appointmentData and targetedAppointmentData fields.

JavaScript
onAppointmentDblClick: function(e) {
    /* The initial appointment data
        {
            startDate: new Date(2016, 6, 18, 8),

            recurrenceRule: "FREQ=DAILY"
        }
    */
    var appointmentData = e.appointmentData;

    /* The clicked appointment data
        {
            startDate: new Date(2016, 6, 19, 8), 
            endDate: new Date(2016, 6, 19, 9),
