# Resource Header Customization - Angular Timeline demo

Add custom filters, labels, or contextual UI to Angular Timeline resource headers — useful for room booking and resource scheduling views.

## Description

The empty space above the resource list can be customized through the [`resourceHeaderTemplate`](https://mobiscroll.com/docs/angular/eventcalendar/api#template-resourceHeaderTemplate). This a perfect place for filtering or headers in case of a resource grid and everything that helps the users in the context of the timeline.

## What this demo shows

- A desktop weekly timeline with days arranged horizontally and resources listed as rows on the left.
- **Header navigation** The month and year label opens date navigation, the previous and next arrows move between weeks, and the Today button returns to the current date.
- **Week view** The strip below the header shows the selected work week from Monday to Friday, with the current date highlighted.
- **Time grid** The timeline displays hourly columns from 12 AM to 12 PM.
- **Resources** Meeting rooms are shown as separate timeline rows, with events scheduled against each room.
- **Resource columns** Each room is displayed with its seating capacity in a dedicated column.
- **Resource alignment** The custom resource columns stay aligned with the timeline during horizontal and vertical scrolling.
- **Current time** A vertical blue line with a time label marks the current time.
- **Hover behavior** Hovering over the time grid shows a time indicator that follows the cursor in 15-minute increments.
- **Event cards** Events appear as colored cards with a left color stripe, a bold title, and the exact start and end time.
- **Date positioning** Events are positioned by assigned resource, date, and time range.
- **Event interaction** Events highlight on hover and show drag and resize handles for repositioning or changing duration.
- **Event selection** Clicking an event selects and highlights it.
- **Event creation** New events can be created by double-clicking the timeline or by clicking and dragging across a time range.
- **Scrolling** The timeline supports horizontal and vertical scrolling for navigating through time and resources.

## Best for

- **Room booking** Helps users compare meeting room attributes without opening additional dialogs or detail views.
- **Resource scheduling** Useful for applications where resource metadata affects scheduling decisions, such as facility management, equipment scheduling, healthcare, education, and workforce planning.
- **Resource grids** Provides a pattern for showing custom resource columns next to a timeline while keeping the columns aligned with scheduled events.

## Code

### Component

```ts
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { MbscCalendarEvent, MbscEventcalendarView, MbscModule, setOptions } from '@mobiscroll/angular';

setOptions({
  theme: 'ios',
  themeVariant: 'light'
});

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root', 
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [CommonModule, MbscModule],
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
  constructor(private http: HttpClient) {}

  view: MbscEventcalendarView = {
    timeline: {
      type: 'week',
      startDay: 1,
      endDay: 5,
    },
  };

  myEvents: MbscCalendarEvent[] = [];

  myResources = [
    {
      id: 1,
      name: 'Flatiron Room',
      seats: 90,
      color: '#fdf500',
    },
    {
      id: 2,
      name: 'The Capital City',
      seats: 250,
      color: '#ff0101',
    },
    {
      id: 3,
      name: 'Heroes Square',
      seats: 400,
      color: '#01adff',
    },
    {
      id: 4,
      name: 'Thunderdome',
      seats: 1200,
      color: '#239a21',
    },
    {
      id: 5,
      name: 'King’s Landing',
      seats: 550,
      color: '#ff4600',
    },
    {
      id: 6,
      name: 'Gathering Field',
      seats: 900,
      color: '#8f1ed6',
    },
  ];

  ngOnInit(): void {
    this.http.jsonp<MbscCalendarEvent[]>('https://trial.mobiscroll.com/daily-weekly-events/', 'callback').subscribe((resp) => {
      this.myEvents = resp;
    });
  }
}
```

### Template

```html
<mbsc-eventcalendar
  class="md-resource-header-template"
  [view]="view"
  [data]="myEvents"
  [resources]="myResources"
  [resourceTemplate]="resourceTemp"
  [resourceHeaderTemplate]="headerTemp"
>
  <ng-template #resourceTemp let-resource>
    <div class="md-resource-header-template-cont">
      <div class="md-resource-header-template-name">{{resource.name}}</div>
      <div class="md-resource-header-template-seats">{{resource.seats + ' seats'}}</div>
    </div>
  </ng-template>
  <ng-template #headerTemp>
    <div class="md-resource-header-template-title">
      <div class="md-resource-header-template-name">Room</div>
      <div class="md-resource-header-template-seats">Capacity</div>
    </div>
  </ng-template>
</mbsc-eventcalendar>
```

### CSS

```css
.md-resource-header-template .mbsc-timeline-resource-col {
  width: 230px;
}

.md-resource-header-template .mbsc-timeline-resource-header,
.md-resource-header-template .mbsc-timeline-resource-title {
  padding: 0;
}

.md-resource-header-template .mbsc-timeline-resource-title {
  height: 100%;
}

.md-resource-header-template-cont {
  line-height: 50px;
  height: 100%;
}

.md-resource-header-template-name {
  height: 100%;
  display: inline-block;
  padding: 0 5px;
}

.md-resource-header-template-seats {
  border-left: 1px solid #ccc;
  width: 90px;
  height: 100%;
  float: right;
  padding: 0 5px;
}

.md-resource-header-template-title {
  font-weight: 600;
  line-height: 56px;
}
```

## Implementation notes

- Use `timeline: { type: 'week', startDay: 1, endDay: 5 }` - a Mon-Fri week view.
- Define 6 venue resources (Flatiron Room, The Capital City, Heroes Square, Thunderdome, King's Landing, Gathering Field), each with `id`, `name`, `color`, and a custom `seats` property (capacity count). Load events from `https://trial.mobiscroll.com/daily-weekly-events/` via `getJson` (Angular: `HttpClient.jsonp`).
- Use `renderResource` (Angular: `resourceTemplate`, Vue: `#resource`) to render each resource row label. The renderer receives the resource object - render `resource.name` and `resource.seats + ' seats'` as two separate elements side by side.
- Use `renderResourceHeader` (Angular: `resourceHeaderTemplate`, Vue: `#resourceHeader`) to replace the empty top-left corner above the resource sidebar. This renderer receives no arguments - it renders static column labels (`'Room'` and `'Capacity'`) that visually align with the two elements rendered by `renderResource` below.
