DevExtreme React - Time Zone Support
Appointments are displayed in the client time zone. The time-zone offset specified in the startDate or endDate is also taken into account (if there is any). You can force a time zone for an individual appointment via its startDateTimeZone and endDateTimeZone fields or for all appointments in the widget via its timeZone option. timeZone takes precedence over start/endDateTimeZone.
You can use the following formula to calculate an appointment's resulting time-zone offset:
`resultingOffset` = `timeZoneOffset` - `clientOffset` (or `embeddedOffset` if there is any)
where
timeZoneOffset
is the offset of the timeZone or start/endDateTimeZone.clientOffset
is the offset of the client side.embeddedOffset
is the offset specified in the start/endDate.
The calculated offset is then added to the date-time value.
For example, if the timeZone is "Europe/Berlin" (UTC offset +1), and the client is in Tokyo (UTC offset +9), the calculated offset is 1 - 9 = -8. The time of all appointments is shifted back 8 hours: the appointment that started at 2019-01-01T12:00:00
starts at 2019-01-01T04:00:00
. The same applies when the time-zone offset is specified in the date-time value (2019-01-01T12:00:00+09:00
), except that this offset is used instead of the client offset.
Add the following code to allow users to change an appointment's time zone:
jQuery
$(function() { $("#schedulerContainer").dxScheduler({ // ... onAppointmentFormOpening: function(e) { e.form.itemOption("startDateTimeZone", { visible: true }); e.form.itemOption("endDateTimeZone", { visible: true }); } }); })
Angular
<dx-scheduler ... (onAppointmentFormOpening)="showTimeZoneFields($event)"> </dx-scheduler>
import { Component } from '@angular/core'; @Component({ selector: 'app-root', templateUrl: './app.component.html', styleUrls: ['./app.component.css'] }) export class AppComponent { showTimeZoneFields(e) { e.form.itemOption("startDateTimeZone", { visible: true }); e.form.itemOption("endDateTimeZone", { visible: true }); } }
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'; import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'; import { AppComponent } from './app.component'; import { DxSchedulerModule } from 'devextreme-angular'; @NgModule({ declarations: [ AppComponent ], imports: [ BrowserModule, DxSchedulerModule ], providers: [], bootstrap: [AppComponent] }) export class AppModule { }
Vue
<template> <DxScheduler ... @appointment-form-opening="showTimeZoneFields" /> </template> <script> import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.common.css'; import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css'; import DxScheduler from 'devextreme-vue/scheduler'; export default { components: { DxScheduler }, data() { return { /* ... */ } }, methods: { showTimeZoneFields: (e) => { e.form.itemOption("startDateTimeZone", { visible: true }); e.form.itemOption("endDateTimeZone", { visible: true }); } } } </script>
React
import React from 'react'; import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.common.css'; import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css'; import Scheduler from 'devextreme-react/scheduler'; class App extends React.Component { render() { return ( <Scheduler ... onAppointmentFormOpening={this.showTimeZoneFields} /> ); } showTimeZoneFields(e) { e.form.itemOption("startDateTimeZone", { visible: true }); e.form.itemOption("endDateTimeZone", { visible: true }); } } export default App;
To allow a user to change the widget's time zone, implement a select box as shown in the Time Zone Support demo.
