JavaScript/jQuery Scheduler - Customize Appointment
For a minor customization of Scheduler appointments, you can define specific fields in appointment data objects. For example, the following code generates three appointments: the first is not customized, the second is hidden, and the third is disabled.
- var appointments = [{
- text: "Website Re-Design Plan",
- startDate: new Date("2016-04-25T09:30:00.000Z"),
- endDate: new Date("2016-04-25T11:30:00.000Z")
- }, {
- text: "Book Flights to San Fran for Sales Trip",
- startDate: new Date("2016-04-25T12:00:00.000Z"),
- endDate: new Date("2016-04-25T13:00:00.000Z"),
- hidden: true
- }, {
- text: "Annual Meeting in Berlin",
- startDate: new Date("2016-04-26T11:00:00.000Z"),
- endDate: new Date("2016-04-26T13:00:00.000Z"),
- disabled: true
- }
- // ...
- ];
- $(function () {
- $("#schedulerContainer").dxScheduler({
- dataSource: appointments,
- currentDate: new Date(2016, 4, 25)
- });
- });
If you need a more flexible solution, combine HTML markup for appointments manually with jQuery DOM manipulation methods. To apply this markup, use the appointmentTemplate callback function as shown in the following code.
- var schedulerData = [{
- movie: "His Girl Friday",
- price: 5,
- startDate: new Date("2016-04-24T09:10:00.000Z"),
- endDate: new Date("2016-04-24T11:20:00.000Z")
- }, {
- movie: "Royal Wedding",
- price: 10,
- startDate: new Date("2016-04-24T10:05:00.000Z"),
- endDate: new Date("2016-04-24T11:30:00.000Z")
- },
- // ...
- ];
- $(function () {
- $("#schedulerContainer").dxScheduler({
- dataSource: schedulerData,
- appointmentTemplate: function (model, index, element) {
- element.append("<i>" + model.appointmentData.movie + "</i>");
- element.append("<p>Price: $" + model.appointmentData.price + "</p>");
- }
- });
- });
You can also customize an individual appointment. For this purpose, declare a template for this appointment as a script and pass its id
to the template field of the appointment's data object.
- <script id="individualTemplate" type="text/html">
- <!-- ... -->
- </script>
- var schedulerData = [{
- movie: "Royal Wedding",
- startDate: new Date("2016-04-24T10:05:00.000Z"),
- endDate: new Date("2016-04-24T11:30:00.000Z"),
- template: $("#individualTemplate")
- }, {
- // ...
- }];
In addition, you can use a 3rd-party template engine to customize the UI component appearance. For more information, see the 3rd-Party Template Engines article.
