Project Structure

This project builds on the boilerplate project generated using DayPilot Scheduler UI Builder. For an introduction to using the Angular Scheduler component please see the Angular Scheduler Tutorial.

Project Initialization

The downloadable project doesn't include NPM dependencies (node_modules) and it's necessary to initialize it using npm install before use:

npm install

Running the Project

You can run the Angular project locally using the built-in web server:

npm run start

The application will be available at http://localhost:4200.

Scheduler Component

The Scheduler event links can be specified using the links property of the config object:

config: DayPilot.SchedulerConfig = {
  // ...
  links: [],
  
};

Note that event links are supported in the Angular Scheduler component since version 8.4.2942.

Each link specifies the source (from) and target (to) event and the link type ("FinishToFinish"):

config: DayPilot.SchedulerConfig = {

  // ...

  links: [
    { from: "1", to: "2", type: "FinishToFinish"},
    { from: "1", to: "3", type: "FinishToFinish"},
  ]

}
