DevExtreme jQuery/JS - Overview

The Scheduler is a widget that represents scheduled data and allows a user to manage it.

View Demo

The following code adds the Scheduler widget to your page. The simplest configuration requires only a dataSource to be specified. In addition, you can define a date that should be displayed by default using the currentDate option.

jQuery
JavaScript
$(function() {
    $("#schedulerContainer").dxScheduler({
        dataSource: [{
            text: "Website Re-Design Plan",
            startDate: new Date(2016, 4, 25, 9, 30),
            endDate: new Date(2016, 4, 25, 11, 30)
        }, {
            text: "Book Flights to San Fran for Sales Trip",
            startDate: new Date(2016, 4, 25, 12, 0),
            endDate: new Date(2016, 4, 25, 13, 0)
        }, 
        // ...
        ],
        currentDate: new Date(2016, 4, 25)
    });
});
Angular

TypeScript
<dx-scheduler
    [dataSource]="appointments"
    [currentDate]="currentDate">
</dx-scheduler>
import { DxSchedulerModule } from 'devextreme-angular';
// ...
export class AppComponent  {
    appointments = [{
        text: "Website Re-Design Plan",
        startDate: new Date(2016, 4, 25, 1, 30),
        endDate: new Date(2016, 4, 25, 3, 30)
    }, {
        text: "Book Flights to San Fran for Sales Trip",
        startDate: new Date(2016, 4, 25, 9, 0),
        endDate: new Date(2016, 4, 25, 10, 0)
    }, 
    // ...
    ];
    currentDate = new Date(2016, 4, 25);
}
@NgModule({
    imports: [
        // ...
        DxSchedulerModule
    ],
    // ...
})

Each data source object represents an appointment to be scheduled and has a special structure. This structure should be similar to the Default Appointment Template. Note that the fields listed below should be present in every appointment.

  • text
    The subject of an appointment.

  • startDate
    The start date of an appointment (includes time if needed).

  • endDate
    The end date of an appointment (includes time if needed).

If your appointments have a different structure, specify:

  • textExpr
    The data field that provides subjects for appointments.

  • startDateExpr
    The data field that provides start dates for appointments.

  • endDateExpr
    The data field that provides end dates for appointments.
