As part of Event calendar and scheduler it can be picked up with the Scheduling & calendaring and Complete licenses.

React Scheduler Scheduler for React

Scheduler - Mobile daily schedule

Change demo

View daily schedules with a fixed week view at the top and a scrollable schedule for the day. The week view is optional and can be turned off.

All-day events are fixed at the top below the header and calendar.

The dates can be quickly navigated by clicking on the month & year indicator.

Scheduler - Desktop daily schedule

Change demo

Daily schedules can be displayed on large screens as well as small screens.

All-day events are fixed at the top below the header and calendar, while the schedule view is scrollable.

The dates can be quickly navigated by clicking on the month & year indicator.

Interested in weekly schedule?  Explore this example →

Scheduler - Mobile weekly schedule

Change demo

A full week can be rendered on small screens if needed. The header with the days of the week fixed at the top while the schedule is scrollable.

The screen can easily become crowded so it might be a good idea to think in a responsive implementation - daily schedule on small screens and weekly schedule on bigger screens.

Interested in daily schedule?  Explore this example →

Scheduler - Desktop weekly schedule

Change demo

Render a full weeks worth of schedule on the screen. The header with days of the week remains planted at the top while the grid with the hours of the week and scheduled events is scrollable.

The current hour is displayed so that upcoming events can be spotted easily.

Scheduler - Responsive behavior

Change demo

The scheduler is fully responsive, it adapts to the available space and fills the screen to look good everywhere.

Use the responsive option to configure how the scheduler behaves on different sized screens. You can set it up as a daily schedule view on small screens and a weekly schedule on bigger screens.

The responsive option is equipped with five breakpoints - xsmall, small, medium, large, xlarge - and custom values can be added for a perfect fine-tune.

Change the viewport

Scheduler - Print mode

Change demo

The scheduler includes print optimized styling through the print add-on. This needs to be added to the download package or installed separately from a dedicated NPM package.

Print styling is applied when someone prints the page that contains the scheduler. In addition to that, you can call the print method on the instance which grabs only the markup of the scheduler, places it onto a temporary page and calls the browsers printing function. This is especially useful when you want to add a button to only print the scheduler rather than the whole page.

Besides printing, PDF export is possible through the print dialog of the browser.

The print module is not available in the trial. You can try the live demo to see how it looks.

Scheduler - Work calendar

Change demo

Customize the scheduler by not only disabling certain hours but hide them through setting the startTime and endTime properties of the view.schedule option. Quikcly set up a work calendar that goes from Monday through Friday with the startDay and endDay properties and renders the schedule from 8AM to 6PM.

You can easily add breaks - like a "Lunch break" - or disable times with the invalid option.

Scheduler - Doctor’s appointment

Change demo

The scheduler can be set up for scheduling/unscheduling booked appointments. Simply set up a daily schedule view with multiple resources representing dentists or doctors. Next to the calendar you can render a list of unscheduled appointments.

Enabling advanced validation and combining that with the drag & drop between the calendar and external list on a resource to resource basis you got a pretty nice working base for appointment scheduling that can be further customized.

Scheduler - Custom range view

Change demo

The scheduler comes with built-in support for day, week and month views. For those situations where a custom range makes more sense, it is possible to override the calendar navigation component with a range picker.

The calendar header can be easily customized and a two-way synchronization needs to be kept between the scheduler and range picker.

Scheduler - Set event stack size

Change demo

The scheduler renders all concurrent (overlapping) events by default, and the available horizontal space will be divided between them. When there are a lot of concurrent events, displaying all of them isn't always helpful.

A maximum number of concurrent events can be set by passing a number to the maxEventStack property of the view.schedule option.

Alternatively maxEventStack: 'auto' can also be set, in this case the value will be determined automatically, based on the available horizontal space. It's poosible to also set a minimum event width, using the minEvenWidth property of the view.schedule option. If not specified, it defaults to 50px;

Scheduler - Customize view range

Change demo

The scheduler has three types: day, week and month. Use the size property of the configuration object to set the length of the range.

Multiples of days, weeks and months are supported. The reference date, controlled through the refDate option, is today by default, but it can be set to any date, like the first day of the month, or the first day of the year. The refDate serves as the start of the reference range. From that point on you can navigate forward and backward.

A couple of examples:

  • Rolling two weeks - use type: 'day' and size: 14
  • Rolling ten days - use type: 'day' and size: 10
  • Two weeks (starting with Sun/Mon) - use type: 'week' and size: 2
  • Quarter view, starting from January - use type: 'month' and size: 3 with refDate: '2021-01-01'
  • Rolling three months - use type: 'month' and size: 3
  • Year view - use type: 'month' and size: 12 with refDate: '2021-01-01'

Scheduler - Show/hide all-day events

Change demo

Hide the all-day events section of the scheduler by setting the allDay property under the view.schedule option.

Scheduler - Colored backgrounds

Change demo

Color the background of entire days or time ranges with the colors option. You can specify backgrounds as exact dates, ranges or set up recurring rules. The recurring object works the same way as for the events. Optionally, you can specify a title as well, which will be displayed on the colored block.

Use the onPageLoading lifecycle event to color backgrounds runtime. You can learn about lifecycle events and places where to drop logic to customize the experience.

Want to use patterns as backgrounds and customize how the invalid cells look?  Learn how to do it →

Scheduler - CSS class for colors and invalids

Change demo

Besides customizing the background color of cells and setting up invalid/blocked out times you can customize how these blocks and disabled times look by passing a cssClass to the colors and invalid array elements.

The output could be a custom pattern, custom styling for the labels or anything that you'd like to render as the background. This a great way for adding special meaning to certain days and time ranges.

Scheduler - Switching views

Change demo

Dynamically switch views within one instance. Use a UI control to let users do the switching or do it programmatically.

The example features a month view with events as labels, a weekly schedule view, a daily schedule and a weekly agenda. Use property binding and when the value of the property changes the settings propagate.

Scheduler - Visible hours and days

Change demo

Customize the visible days and hours along with the scale of the time grid through the schedule object under the view option. You can control the days to display (eg. Weekdays), the visible time range (eg. 8AM to 6PM), set the time scale (eg. 30 minutes) and set the labels shown (eg. every 15 minutes).

  • Specify the first and last day - Use the startDay and endDay properties
  • Set the visible time range - Use the startTime and endTime properties
  • Control the granularity of the time grid - Use the timeCellStep and timeLabelStep properties

Scheduler - Timezones

Change demo

The event calendar works with local times by default, but ships with support for changing the timezone. The conversions and correct output relies on either of the two external libraries: luxon or moment-timezone. For installing and using these libraries check out this guide.

There are two angles regarding timezones:

  • dataTimezone - the calendar expects this format and returns this format. It is 'local' by default if the date-times don't contain any timezone information. It can be set globally on the calendar using the dataTimezone option, or specifically for the event using the timezone property of the event data.
  • displayTimezone - the calendar displays the events in this timezone. The date-times will be converted from the dataTimezone and displayed accordingly. It is 'local' by default
Enable switching the timezone in the UI?  Learn how to dynamically change timezones →

Scheduler - Event buffer

Change demo

Use the bufferBefore and bufferAfter to add buffer times that will be rendered before and after the event.

These areas can help you visualize delays or added minutes for tasks. Here are some examples:

  • Travel time for meetings, appointments, work orders
  • Check in and check out times around flights
  • Loading/unloading for bus/truck
  • Cleaning, inspection, maintenance work that happen on a recurring basis

Looking to customize event buffers?  Check out the templating capabilities →

Scheduler - Switching timezones

Change demo

If the context requires users being able to change the timezone on the fly, you can add a custom dropdown with the desired timezones to the event calendar header. This can be of course placed externally to the calendar as well, eg. setting page.

Set the timezone of the incoming data through the dataTimezone - eg. 'utc', and set the display timezone through the displayTimezone - eg. 'America/Los_Angeles'

Wanna show multiple timezone tracks?  Check out the next example →

Scheduler - Display time for multiple timezones

Change demo

When operating across multiple timezones, coordinating resources and getting people on the same page is a challenge. It helps if events can be seen across these timezones.

Use the timezones property of the view.schedule option and set the timezone tracks with custom labels. The order of the tracks is determined by the order they are added to the array.

Scheduler - Event search with sidebar

Change demo

Inline search can be easily implemented with the help of a separate agenda instance. This example is relying on a single API endpoint for getting the data onto the primary schedule view and also for getting the filtered data based on the search terms.

Events can be filtered in real time so using an agenda view for the search results is an easy choice. It provides all the necessary styling and advanced features that you might need to customize the experience.

Alternatively, search can be implemented in the header using a similar search box with an agenda listed in a popup instead of rendered inline.

Scheduler - External navigation

Change demo

This example demonstrates how can the Scheduler navigated externally. Here we have a two-pane layout with a Datepicker on the left and a Scheduler on the right. Changing date on the Datepicker will trigger the date change on the Scheduler.

The Datepicker updates the selectedDate option of the Scheduler in its onChange event, while the Scheduler updates the datepicker value from its onSelectedDateChange event.

Scheduler - Custom event tooltip

Change demo

There are several approaches to showing a tooltip when hovering events.

The native tooltip

By default, the calendar shows the browser native tooltip when hovering over the event. This includes the times and title of the event, which does the job most of the times. For showing a custom text use the tooltip property of the data object. This tooltip is specific to every event. If you want to hide the native tooltip, you can set the showEventTooltip to false.

Fully custom tooltip

Setting the showEventTooltip to false gives room for a fully custom tooltip that can be implemented by using the onEventHoverIn and onEventHoverOut lifecycle events. With the help of the Mobiscroll popup you can show a custom tooltip that holds details, actions applicable to the event it is anchored to.

Scheduler - Event customization

Change demo

Above the built in rendering mode you can either customize the full event or just the content of the event. If we break up the event into pieces there are six fields that we are interested in:

  • The event start and end time
  • Whether it is an allDay event or not
  • The event color
  • The event title
  • bufferBefore
  • bufferAfter

The scheduler takes care of positioning the event container and everything else is your responsibility. You will have to place and provide styling to all event fields. Beside the ones mentioned above you'll be able to render other custom fields, like description, location, participants ... and add buttons, custom interactions.

Pass a custom rendering function to the renderScheduleEvent option. All original event fields along with computed fields like isMultiDay, lastDay can be reached inside the function.

The before/after buffers can help you visualise delays or added minutes for tasks. For example travel time for meetings/appointments, check in/check out for flights.

The buffers can be customized through the renderBufferBefore and renderBufferAfter options.

Scheduler - Date header template

Change demo

Customize the date headers of the scheduler by adding relevant content, labels or completely change how they look. Use the renderDay option for rendering a custom date header.

Scheduler - Resource template

Change demo

Use the renderResource option for rendering a custom resource header. Customize how the resource headers look and what they show. Utilize properties passed in the resources array.

Scheduler - Customizing the header

Change demo

You can customize how the header of the scheduler looks and how the components are arranged. Besides that you can also add custom functionality, like a segmented control that lets people switch between scheduler and calendar.

Use the renderHeader option for passing a custom header layout. There are predefined components - shorthands if you will - that can be used to assemble the header:

  • Navigation component - <CalendarNav />. Use the .md-header-filter-controls CSS class for custom overrides.
  • Today button - <CalendarToday />. Use the .md-header-filter-today CSS class for custom overrides.
  • Previous month button - <CalendarPrev />. Use the .md-header-filter-prev CSS class for custom overrides.
  • Next month button - <CalendarNext />. Use the .md-header-filter-next CSS class for custom overrides.

For changing the order the controls are laid out, you only need to set up the renderHeader. This example sets a consistent order and layout across all themes and shows a custom control at the far right end.

Overriding the order for specific themes

For a custom order on a theme to theme basis, you will need to use a little CSS. Flex layout makes reordering easy. It's just a matter of setting the order in CSS. For material use the .mbsc-material, for windows the .mbsc-windows prefix and for iOS it is .mbsc-ios class. Eg.:

.mbsc-material .md-header-filter-prev { order: 1; }
.mbsc-material .md-header-filter-next { order: 2; }
.mbsc-material .md-header-filter-controls { order: 3; }
.mbsc-material .md-header-filter-today { order: 4; }

Scheduler - Move, resize & create

Change demo

Drag & drop is a core feature of the event calendar and it is composed of four sub-features:

  • Click to create events - double click to create events. This can be turned off or set to single click
  • Drag to create events - tap/click to start creating an event and drag to the desired length
  • Move events - grab an event and move it wherever needed
  • Resize events - change the length of an event, grab it from either end and resize it
  • Delete events - pressing the Delete or Backspace keys on the keyboard will delete the focused event

You have granular control over features through the clickToCreate, dragToCreate, dragToMove, dragToResize and eventDelete options, which are false by default.

Use the dragTimeStep option (defaults to 15 minutes) to set the snap resolution of all drag actions.

Events can be marked as fixed by setting their editable property to false. This turns delete, drag & drop move and resize off for the event. The mbsc-event-readonly CSS class will be added to the events. This means if you would like to add opacity, override the mouse cursor or apply any other CSS override, you can add it to this class.

Scheduler - Conditional move & resize per event, resource or globally

Change demo
Conditional move & resize per event, resource or globally
Get started with this example

The drag & drop interactions can be fine-tuned depending on the requirements and situations. Maybe controlled by roles, event types, resources the move and resize can be turned on/off on an event basis, per resource or globally on the instance.

  • Events can be fixed in length (cannot be resized) - by setting dragToResize option to false the events cannot be resized.
  • Events can be fixed in time (cannot be moved) - by setting dragInTime option to false the events cannot be moved in time. Take in consideration that dragToMove must be set to true
  • Events can be fixed to resource (cannot be moved to another resource) - by setting dragBetweenResources option to false the events cannot be moved between resources. Take in consideration that dragToMove must be set to true

To control this on a resource an event basis, use the appropriate properties which have precedence over global calendar options.

Scheduler - Drag & drop between schedulers

Change demo

There are certain cases when moving the events between calendars can come in handy.

Dragging and dropping events between two scheduler instances can be enabled by turning on the externalDrag and externalDrop options.

Scheduler - Blocked out times

Change demo

Entire days and time ranges can be blocked out to manage event creation and editing more efficiently.

To disable specific times, ranges, days or recurring days and times you can pass an array to the invalid option. A couple of examples:

  • To disable weekends, use the recurring object - recurring: { repeat: 'weekly', weekDays: 'SA,SU' }
  • Lunch break between 12 PM and 1 PM with title - { start: "12:00", end: "13:00", title: 'Lunch break', recurring: { repeat: 'weekly', weekDays: 'MO,TU,WE,TH,FR' }

When dragging events onto disabled days or time-slots, they will automatically be denied and onEventCreateFailed/ onEventUpdateFailed events will be triggered, from which custom logic can be executed to show a toast or maybe a modal for data correction. The built-in logic of how the calendar handles validation on user interaction can be controlled through the invalidateEvent option:

  • 'strict' - Strict being the default, no event overlap is allowed with invalid ranges.
  • 'start-end' - With start-end validation the calendar checks if the start or end of the event coincides with any invalid range. Other overlaps are allowed.

If you're interested in invalids for a given range (including recurring occurrences), you can use the getInvalids function.

Scheduler - Prevent event overlap

Change demo

Sometimes it is necessary to guarantee that events don't overlap - eg. when scheduling workorders, interacting with a work calendar. You can reject the updates or additions and let the user know about it.

The event overlap can be turned on/off on an event basis, per resource or globally on the instance.

  • On an event basis - by setting the overlap property to false the specified event cannot overlap.
  • Per resource - by setting the eventOverlap property to false the events in the specified resource cannot overlap.
  • Globally on the instance - by setting eventOverlap option to false overlap is disbled globally.

If set to false, the resource and the event settings have precedence over the global calendar eventOverlap option.

Give feedback to the user - optionally, a toast can be displayed to explain why an event cannot be dropped, moved or created. For this we can use the onEventCreateFailed and onEventUpdateFailed lifecycle events.

Scheduler - External drag and drop

Change demo

Scheduling events (or dragging them onto a calendar)

Events can be created and scheduled by dragging and dropping an external resource (event) onto the scheduler. In order for that to work you will need to have two things set up:

  • Enable the scheduler to receive external events by setting externalDrop to true.
  • Initialize the external events (containers) as draggable components.

Use the Draggable component to specify a skeleton event through its dragData option and reference the draggable container in the element option. The dragData accepts a full event definition that will be added to the event calendar on drop. If omitted, a default event will be created.

Use the onEventCreate and onEventCreateFailed for triggering a custom logic on drop like showing a toast. The appropriate lifecycle event will be triggered if the drop is successful or fails.

Unscheduling events (or dragging them off a calendar)

Additionally events can be unscheduled by dragging them out from the scheduler and dropping them onto an external drop container. To activate this, you will need to:

Use the dropcontainer component and its onItemDrop event to handle dropped events.

Events can also be dropped on another event calendar with externalDrop enabled.

When an event is dropped into an external drop container or another calendar, it will be deleted from the original calendar and the onEventDelete will be fired.

You can also use the onEventDragLeave and onEventDragEnter, and the drop container's onItemDragEnter and onItemDragLeave events to provide visual feedback or running custom logic during drag.

Learn more from the external drag & drop documentation.

Scheduler - External d&d presets

Change demo

Use external draggable events to create preset tasks that people can quickly copy and spawn events from. A great example is an auto repair shop where among others, mechanics have to perform the same predefined tasks.

Print a list of predefined tasks and initialize them as draggable elements. Enable externalDrop for the scheduler and set up the predefined event skeletons for the draggable component.

Whenever there is more information to be captured, like detailed task notes, customer information, the name of the technician... you can trigger a popup with the task form in the onEventCreate lifecycle event. For failed drops (trying to schedule a task during lunch breaks or weekends) the onEventCreateFailed event will be triggered.

Want to see how external presets look & feel for a calendar?  Check out this example →

Scheduler - Multiple resources

Change demo

The scheduler can handle multiple resources inside a single instance. Pass the resource list to the resources option with an id, name, color and eventCreation.

  • id - This is an id that can be referenced in the event data
  • name - The name of the resource that will be printed at the top of the respective column
  • color - The color controls the default event color of the resource. Event colors can be specific above this. If the color is omitted the underlying events will inherit the default calendar color
  • eventCreation - This controls if events can be created or dropped onto this resource

Events can be shared between resources and it is possible to move events between resources. The move is handled automatically however you can block it if moving an event from one resource to the other is prohibited. Learn about lifecycle event hooks.

Scheduler - Resource grouping

Change demo

Resources show up in the header of the calendar as the primary group and below them are the days. This can be switched up through the groupBy option that expects 'resource' or 'day'.

Combined with the day and week-view you can help people quickly find what they are looking for. Learn how to add an integrated segmented control to the header.

Scheduler - Shared events

Change demo

Events can be shared among resources. This can easily be the same resource type, like people in a shared work calendar scenario or different resource types, like aircraft and instructor in a flight training scenario where you'll have to schedule an instructor and an aircraft for a class which is the event.

Shared events will render correctly in the appropriate resource columns with drag & drop, validation across invalid dates and times will work out of the box. All you need to do is to add both resourceIDs to the event.

Scheduler - Show/hide resources

Change demo

Resources can be dynamically turned on and off. This will show or hide the resource and can be done runtime the same way as for any other calendar option.

Scheduler - Resource properties

Change demo

The resource data structure for the scheduler is straightforward with a couple of base properties that the component understands and uses to render the UI. Besides the base properties you can add any custom property, like title, job ...

  • id - This is an id that can be referenced in the event data
  • name - The name of the resource that will be printed at the top of the respective column
  • color - The color controls the default event color of the resource. Event colors can be specific above this. If the color is omitted the underlying events will inherit the default calendar color
  • eventCreation - This controls if events can be created or dropped onto this resource
  • eventDragBetweenResources - Specifies whether the events in the specified resource are movable across resources. If set to false has precedence over dragBetweenResources option of the calendar.
  • eventDragInTime - Specifies whether the events in the specified resource are movable in time. If set to false has precedence over dragInTime option of the calendar.
  • eventResize - Specifies whether the events in the specified resource are resizable. If set to false has precedence over dragToResize option of the calendar.
  • eventOverlap - Specifies whether the events in the specified resource are allowed to overlap. If set to false has precedence over eventOverlap option of the calendar.

Scheduler - Event properties

Change demo

The event data structure for the scheduler is straightforward with a couple of base properties that the component understands and uses to render the UI. Besides the base properties you can add any custom property, like location, description ...

  • id - A unique ID for the event. If not specified a unique id will be generated
  • title - Defines the event text. This can be plaintext or HTML
  • tooltip - Defines the text for the tooltip which appears on mouse hover. If not specified, it will show the title and the start/end times of the event.
  • color - Defines the event color
  • start - Sets the start date and time for the event. It can be a js date object, ISO date string or moment.js object. Learn about date formats
  • end - Sets the end date and time for the event. The same formats are supported as for start
  • allDay - Configures the event as a full-day event
  • recurring - Configures the recurring rules for the event. Learn about recurring events
  • recurringException - Represents the exceptions of a recurring event, when specific dates need to be skipped from the rule.
  • recurringExceptionRule - Represents the exception rule of a recurring event, when recurring dates need to be skipped from the rule.
  • resource - Links the event to one or more resources. Expects a list of IDs from the resources array
  • timezone - The timezone where the event takes place. If specified, it takes precedence over the calendar's specified dataTimezone.
  • dragBetweenResources - Specifies whether the event is movable across resources. If set to false has precedence over eventDragBetweenResources property in resources and the dragBetweenResources option of the calendar.
  • dragInTime - Specifies whether the event is movable in time. If set to false has precedence over eventDragInTime property in resources and the dragInTime option of the calendar.
  • resize - Specifies whether the event is resizable. If set to false has precedence over eventResize property in resources and the dragToResize option of the calendar.
  • overlap - Specifies whether overlap is allowed on the event. If set to false has precedence over eventOverlap property in resources and the eventOverlap option of the calendar.
  • editable - Denotes if the event is editable. If set false, the event cannot be dragged, resized or deleted even if globally enabled
  • cssClass - A custom css class for the event. Useful for quick styling adjustments of the event container.
  • bufferBefore - Defines a buffer time in minutes that will be rendered before the start of the event. This buffer area can help you visualise delays or added minutes for tasks. For example travel time for meetings/appointments, check in before a flight.
  • bufferAfter - Defines a buffer time in minutes that will be rendered after the end of the event. This buffer area can help you visualise delays or added minutes for tasks. For example travel time after meetings/appointments, check out after flights, inspection, cleaning after certain tasks.

Scheduler - Supported date formats

Change demo

Understanding how to work with dates inside the scheduler is essential. You can pass to the data, marked, colors and labels in four different formats. The scheduler can work with Javascript date objects, ISO strings and Moment.js objects.

Scheduler - Recurrence rules

Change demo

Configure daily, weekly, monthly and yearly recurring events. On top of setting up recurrence, you can exclude specific and recurring days. This is especially useful in cases when a single occurrence of an event is deleted or is moved to a different time.

You can pass the recurrence rule in the recurring property of the event as an object or a string in RRULE format. Learn about the event data structure and where to place the recurring rules.

Use the configurator to experiment, build strings and objects that you can grab and use.

Scheduler - Loading inline data

Change demo

What is a scheduler without any events in it? To populate it with events all you have to do is pass the event array to the data option.

In a real-world scenario you would probably load the events from a remote resource or event better, load them on demand. However the point of this example is to understand how easy it is to add events to the scheduler.

Do you want to learn about the event data sctructure?  See how the event object is built →

Scheduler - Events from remote API

Change demo

The scheduler can be populated by passing an array to the data option, that you can construct either inline or by getting it from a remote API. The important thing to remember is that events need to be in a format that the scheduler understands.

Interested in load on demand?  Dynamically load events on month change →

Scheduler - Loading events on demand

Change demo

The scheduler supports remote and local data sources. Besides that, events can be populated on initialization or loaded on demand.

Getting the events in real time as the user navigates improves load performance and always serves the most recent data.

Use the onPageLoading lifecycle event to load the data runtime. You can learn about lifecycle events and places where to drop logic to customize the experience.

Scheduler - Sync events to google calendar

Change demo

The event calendar comes with third party calendar integration support through the integration plugin. This needs to be added to the download package or installed separately from a dedicated NPM package.

It includes everything you need to authenticate your users, get their Google calendars and provides functions for CRUD operations. It takes care of loading the events and converts them to the required format so that they can be displayed on the Mobiscroll calendar separately or mixed with other calendars and events.

Customizing the interaction, event workflows, whether the events are read-only is up to you. In this live demo, newly created events will land in the primary calendar of the authenticated user.

This example uses the integration plugin to connect to and load events from Google Calendar and it is not available in the trial. Give the live demo a try and see how it can be configured.

Scheduler - Sync events to outlook calendar

Scheduler - Load events from public google calendar

Change demo

Event data can be loaded from remote sources, like public google calendars. Through the integration plugin you can easily show events that are available in a public calendar. The integration plugin needs to be added to the download package or installed separately from a dedicated NPM package.

You will just need the CALENDAR_ID and an apiKey from google and you should be ready to roll.

Public calendars are read-only. If you are interested in syncing private google calendars with read/write/delete access, check out this example.

This example uses the integration plugin to connect to and load events from Google Calendar and it is not available in the trial. Give the live demo a try and see how it can be configured.

Scheduler - Add/edit/delete events

Change demo
Create new events

Drag to create and click to create is enabled. Events can be created by dragging or with double clicks. As soon as the initial position is confirmed, a temporary event is created and a custom edit dialog is shown for refinement. On cancel the temporary event will be removed and on confirmation the event will stay in the calendar.

Edit existing events

Drag to resize and drag to move is enabled. Events can be reordered and resized. In addition to that, clicking on the event will open a custom dialog that enables editing the various properties.

Delete events

Delete can be implemented inside the edit dialog with a button. It's just a matter of removing it from the data object. If a dialog is not shown on click, focused events can be deleted with the backspace and delete keys.

Scheduler - Multiple select & bulk operations

Change demo

Multiple event selection can be turned on with the selectMultipleEvents option. Selecting multiple events can be done through user interaction with CTRL/SHIFT/CMD + click or programmatically eg. click of a button or 'select all' checkbox.

Bulk operations like delete, update can be applied the selected events. Things like deleting with the backspace or delete buttons work out of the box but custom actions can be also applied. The selection can be easily retrieved and updated with the getSelectedEvents and setSelectedEvents method.

Custom actions can be performed with external buttons or with context menu activated on right-click.

Scheduler - Recurring event editor

Change demo

As seen in the previous example, an add/edit form can be created with custom and base event fields. While the CRUD example features delete with undo, this example shows off how to build a fully customizable recurrence editor right in the add/edit screen.

Above some common presets, like Daily, Weekly on X day, Monthly on Xth, Annually on the same day, Every Weekday a fully custom recurrence editor is implemented.

Copy & paste or delve into the code and understand how to generate recurrence objects or RRULES as seen in this live rule builder.

Scheduler - Disable past event creation

Change demo

Sometimes we don't want users to be able to create events in the past or to alter past events. This might be role based in some cases or applied in general to the calendar.

To disable past event creation and manipulation, a couple of things need to be handled:

  • Invalidate past dates & times - this takes care of validating event drop and event creation on past dates and times that are before the past hour
  • Mark past events as fixed - to do this, set the editable property of the event object to false for the events that should remain fixed
  • Handle past occurrences of recurring events - recurring events are loaded as a single event and the occurrences are generated by the scheduler. Moving the past occurrences need to be handled in the onEventUpdate and onEventCreate lifecycle events
  • Give feedback to the user - optionally, a toast can be displayed to give feedback to the user why an event cannot be dropped, moved and created in the past. For this we can use the onEventCreateFailed and onEventUpdateFailed lifecycle events

Scheduler - Custom component in header

Change demo

The header of the scheduler is a canvas and an opportunity for customization. You can add custom components and enable new interaction in context.

Such an example would be a custom filter block created with the help of a segmented control and placed between the standard UI components, which are:

  • Navigation component - <CalendarNav />. Use the .md-header-filter-controls CSS class for custom overrides.
  • Today button - <CalendarToday />. Use the .md-header-filter-today CSS class for custom overrides.
  • Previous month button - <CalendarPrev />. Use the .md-header-filter-prev CSS class for custom overrides.
  • Next month button - <CalendarNext />. Use the .md-header-filter-next CSS class for custom overrides.

For changing the order the controls are laid out, you only need to set up the renderHeader.

Overriding the order for specific themes

For a custom order on a theme to theme basis, you will need to use a little CSS. Flex layout makes reordering easy. It's just a matter of setting the order in CSS. For material use the .mbsc-material, for windows the .mbsc-windows prefix and for iOS it is .mbsc-ios class. Eg.:

.mbsc-material .md-header-filter-prev { order: 1; }
.mbsc-material .md-header-filter-next { order: 2; }
.mbsc-material .md-header-filter-controls { order: 3; }
.mbsc-material .md-header-filter-today { order: 4; }
Want to style and reorder the header?  Take a look at the previous example →

Scheduler - Theming capabilities

Change demo

The look and feel of the scheduler can be deeply customized. There are four levels of customization:

  • Base themes: Choose between iOS, Material and Windows.
  • Light or dark: Every theme has a light and dark variant. Setting the themeVariant to 'auto' will switch based on system settings.
  • Custom themes: Use the theme builder to customize the colors and make it match your brand.
  • Custom CSS: If you need further customization, the sky is the limit with CSS overrides.

You can also see how every example looks by changing the theme from the header.

Scheduler - Resource background and styling

Change demo

Easily highlight resources or columns by adding a simple background color or craft a more specific look with the cssClass property of the resources data.

The output could be a custom background to individual resources or columns and it can be used for multiple purposes. For example:

  • Different styling for certain columns, like thicker border acting as separator.
  • Resource selection, where the selected resource has a different background.
  • Setting different backgrounds for the resource titles and grid columns.

Scheduler - Calendar systems

Change demo

The scheduler supports multiple calendar systems. You can control it with the calendarSystem setting, and it supports the following options:

  • Gregorian - it is included by default
  • Jalali - it is the default system of the Persian calendar and is included within the Farsi language pack
  • Hijri - it is included in the Arabic language pack
Interested in localization?  Explore this example →

Scheduler - Lifecycle events

Change demo

The scheduler ships with different hooks for deep customization. Events are triggered through the lifecycle of the component where you can tie in custom functionality and code.

While users interact with the UI events like onEventClick, onInit, onSelectedDateChange ... will be triggered.

For a complete list of events go to the documentation  See available lifecycle events →

Scheduler - Localization

Change demo

The components are fully localized. In case of the scheduler this covers date and time format, button copy, rtl and more. You can see how each example shows up by clicking on the small flag icon or checking the examples below.

All settings can be manually overridden  See what options the localization impacts →
