Data Binding in Blazor Scheduler Component

24 Oct 202324 minutes to read

The Scheduler uses DataManager, which supports both RESTful data service binding and datasource collections to bind data to the Scheduler. The DataSource property of Scheduler can be assigned either with the instance of DataManager or list of datasource collection.

It supports the following kinds of data binding methods:

• List binding
• Remote data

Please take a moment to watch this video to learn about data binding in the Blazor Scheduler.

List binding

To bind list binding to the Scheduler, you can simply assign a list of datasource collections as IEnumerable object to the DataSource option of the scheduler within the ScheduleEventSettings tag. The list data source can also be provided as an instance of the SfDataManager or by using SfDataManager component.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Schedule

<SfSchedule TValue="AppointmentData" Height="550px" SelectedDate="@(new DateTime(2020, 2, 12))">
    <ScheduleEventSettings DataSource="@DataSource"></ScheduleEventSettings>
</SfSchedule>

@code{
    List<AppointmentData> DataSource = new List<AppointmentData>
    {
        new AppointmentData { Id = 1, Subject = "Testing", StartTime = new DateTime(2020, 2, 13, 9, 30, 0) , EndTime = new DateTime(2020, 2, 13, 10, 30, 0)},
        new AppointmentData { Id = 2, Subject = "Conference", StartTime = new DateTime(2020, 2, 11, 10, 30, 0) , EndTime = new DateTime(2020, 2, 11, 12, 0, 0)},
        new AppointmentData { Id = 3, Subject = "Meeting", StartTime = new DateTime(2020, 2, 9, 9, 30, 0) , EndTime = new DateTime(2020, 2, 9, 11, 30, 0)},
        new AppointmentData { Id = 4, Subject = "Vacation", StartTime = new DateTime(2020, 2, 14, 11, 30, 0) , EndTime = new DateTime(2020, 2, 14, 13, 0, 0)}
    };
    public class AppointmentData
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Subject { get; set; }
        public string Location { get; set; }
        public DateTime StartTime { get; set; }
        public DateTime EndTime { get; set; }
        public string Description { get; set; }
        public bool IsAllDay { get; set; }
        public string RecurrenceRule { get; set; }
        public string RecurrenceException { get; set; }
        public Nullable<int> RecurrenceID { get; set; }
    }
}

NOTE

By default, DataManager uses BlazorAdaptor for binding local data.

You can also bind different field names to the default event fields as well as include additional custom fields to the event object collection which can be referred here.

ExpandoObject binding

The Scheduler is a generic component which is strongly bound to a model type, but there may be cases where the model type is unknown during compile or runtime. In these scenarios, you can use ExpandoObject binding to bind data to the Scheduler as a list of dynamic objects.

ExpandoObject implements the IDictionary<string, object> interface, which means you can add properties and values to the object like you would with a dictionary.ExpandoObject binding provides a flexible way to bind data to the Scheduler component without the need for a predefined class or data structure. This can be particularly useful in scenarios where you have data sources with varying structures, or when you need to bind to data sources that are not known at compile-time.

ExpandoObject can be bound to the DataSource option of the scheduler within the ScheduleEventSettings component. Scheduler can also perform all kinds of supported data operations and editing in ExpandoObject.
To bind data to the Scheduler using ExpandoObject, you can create a list of ExpandoObjects and set it as the DataSource property of the Scheduler’s ScheduleEventSettings component.

        <ScheduleView Option="View.Agenda"></ScheduleView>
    </ScheduleViews>
</SfSchedule>
@code {
    DateTime CurrentDate = new DateTime(2021, 8, 10);
    public List<ExpandoObject> EventsCollection = new List<ExpandoObject>() { };
    protected override void OnInitialized()
    {
        DateTime scheduleStart = new DateTime(2021, 8, 8, 10, 0, 0);
        EventsCollection = Enumerable.Range(1, 5).Select((x) =>
        {
            scheduleStart = scheduleStart.AddDays(1);
            dynamic d = new ExpandoObject();
            d.Id = 1000 + x;
            d.Subject = (new string[] { "Project Discussion", "Work Flow Analysis", "Report", "Meeting", "Project Demo" })[new Random().Next(5)];
            d.StartTime = scheduleStart;
            d.EndTime = scheduleStart.AddHours(1);
            d.IsAllDay = false;
            d.RecurrenceRule = null;
            d.RecurrenceException = null;
            d.RecurrenceID = null;
            return d;
        }).Cast<ExpandoObject>().ToList<ExpandoObject>();
    }
}

DynamicObject Binding

DynamicObject binding is another approach for binding data to the Scheduler when the model type is unknown at compile time. In this approach, you use the dynamic keyword to define variables that can hold objects of any type, including those with dynamically added properties.

To bind data to the Scheduler using DynamicObject binding, you can create a list of dynamic objects and set it as the DataSource property of the Scheduler’s ScheduleEventSettings component. You can then use the Scheduler’s built-in data operations and editing features to work with the data.

DynamicObject implements the IDynamicMetaObjectProvider interface, which means you can override member access operations like GetMember and SetMember to provide your own custom logic.DynamicObject binding is that it allows you to create objects with dynamic behavior, which can be useful in scenarios where you need to work with objects whose behavior is not known at compile-time.

NOTE

The GetDynamicMemberNames method of DynamicObject class must be overridden and return the property names to perform data operation and editing while using DynamicObject.

ObservableCollection

This ObservableCollection (dynamic data collection) provides notifications when items are added, removed and moved. The implement INotifyCollectionChanged notifies when dynamic changes of add,remove, move and clear the collection. The implement INotifyPropertyChanged notifies when property value has changed in client side.

Here, AppointmentData class implements the interface of INotifyPropertyChanged and it raises the event when Subject property value was changed.

Custom binding

It is possible to create your own CustomAdaptor by extending the built-in available adaptors. The following example demonstrates the custom adaptor usage and how to bind the data with custom service and the CRUD operations for custom bounded data is performed using the methods of DataAdaptor abstract class.

NOTE

You can find the complete procedures to perform CRUD actions with the Syncfusion Blazor Scheduler using CustomAdaptor here.

Remote data

Any kind of remote data services can be bound to the Scheduler. To do so, provide the service URL to the Url option of SfDataManager within ScheduleEventSettings tag.

Binding with OData services

OData ((Open Data Protocol)) is a widely used protocol for creating and consuming RESTful APIs over various transport protocols such as HTTP, HTTPS, and others. It offers a standardized way for creating, retrieving, updating, and deleting data across various platforms and devices. OData provides a uniform way for interacting with data, which simplifies the task of developing and consuming RESTful APIs.

You can retrieve data from OData service using the SfDataManager. Refer to the following code example for remote Data binding using OData service.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Schedule
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Data

<SfSchedule TValue="Restful_Crud.Models.EventData" Height="550px" SelectedDate="@(new DateTime(2020, 3, 11))">
    <ScheduleEventSettings TValue="Restful_Crud.Models.EventData" Query="@QueryData">
        <SfDataManager Url="http://localhost:25255/odata" Adaptor="Adaptors.ODataAdaptor"></SfDataManager>
    </ScheduleEventSettings>
</SfSchedule>

@code{
    public Query QueryData = new Query().From("EventDatas");
}

Binding with OData v4 services

ODataV4 is the latest version of the OData protocol, which offers more features and better performance than its predecessors. It provides support for advanced query options, data validation, and data shaping. The ODataV4 protocol is based on the JSON format, which makes it more lightweight and easier to use.

Refer to the following code example to retrieve the data from ODataV4 service using the DataManager. To connect with ODataV4 service end points, it is necessary to make use of ODataV4Adaptor within DataManager.

Filter events using the in-built query

To enable server-side filtering operations based on predetermined conditions, the IncludeFiltersInQuery API can be set to true, this allows the filter query to be constructed using the start date, end date, and recurrence rule which in turn enables the request to be filtered accordingly.

This method greatly improves the component’s performance by reducing the data that needs to be transferred to the client side. As a result, the component’s efficiency and responsiveness are significantly enhanced, resulting in a better user experience. However, it is important to consider the possibility of longer query strings, which may cause issues with the maximum URL length or server limitations on query string length.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Data;
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Schedule

<SfSchedule TValue="AppointmentData" Height="550px" @bind-SelectedDate="@currentDate">
    <ScheduleEventSettings TValue="AppointmentData" Query="@QueryData" IncludeFiltersInQuery="true">

        public string? ShipRegion { get; set; }
    }
}

The following image represents how the parameters are passed using ODataV4 filter.

Web API adaptor

You can bind Web API data to the scheduler using WebApiAdaptor. The following sample code demonstrates the way of binding remote services to the Scheduler component.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Data;
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Schedule

<SfSchedule TValue="AppointmentData" Height="550px" @bind-SelectedDate="@currentDate" Readonly="true">
    <ScheduleEventSettings TValue="AppointmentData" >
        <ScheduleViews>
            <ScheduleView Option="View.Month"></ScheduleView>
        </ScheduleViews>
       <SfDataManager Url="https://blazor.syncfusion.com/services/production/api/schedule" Adaptor="Adaptors.WebApiAdaptor">
       </SfDataManager>
    </ScheduleEventSettings>
</SfSchedule>

@code {
    DateTime currentDate = new DateTime(2023, 1, 6);

    public class AppointmentData
    {
            public int Id { get; set; }
            public string Subject { get; set; }
            public string Location { get; set; }
            public string Description { get; set; }
            public DateTime StartTime { get; set; }
            public DateTime EndTime { get; set; }
            public Nullable<bool> IsAllDay { get; set; }
            public string CategoryColor { get; set; }
            public string RecurrenceRule { get; set; }
            public Nullable<int> RecurrenceID { get; set; }
            public Nullable<int> FollowingID { get; set; }
            public string RecurrenceException { get; set; }
            public string StartTimezone { get; set; }
            public string EndTimezone { get; set; }
    }
}

Url adaptor

You can use the UrlAdaptor of SfDataManager when binding data source for remote data. During the initial load of Scheduler, data are fetched from remote data and bound to the Scheduler using the Url property of SfDataManager.

CRUD operations in the Scheduler can be mapped to server-side controller actions by using the properties InsertUrl, RemoveUrl, UpdateUrl, and CrudUrl.

• InsertUrl – You can perform a single insertion operation on the server-side.
• UpdateUrl – You can update single data on the server-side.
• RemoveUrl – You can remove single data on the server-side.
• CrudUrl – You can perform bulk data operation on the server-side.

The following sample code demonstrates binding data to the Scheduler component through the SfDataManager using UrlAdaptor.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Data;
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Schedule
@using Url_Adaptor.Data
@using Url_Adaptor.Models
@using Url_Adaptor.Pages

<SfSchedule TValue="Event" Height="550px" @bind-SelectedDate="@currentDate" AllowMultiDrag="true">
    <ScheduleEventSettings TValue="Event">
        <SfDataManager Url="api/Default" UpdateUrl="/api/Default/Update" RemoveUrl="/api/Default/Delete" InsertUrl="/api/Default/Add" CrudUrl="/api/Default/Batch" Adaptor="Adaptors.UrlAdaptor">
        </SfDataManager>
    </ScheduleEventSettings>
    <ScheduleViews>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Month"></ScheduleView>
    </ScheduleViews>
</SfSchedule>

@code {
    DateTime currentDate = new DateTime(2022, 12, 6);
}

The server-side controller code to handle the CRUD operations is as follows.

namespace Url_Adaptor.Controller
{
    [ApiController]
    public class DefaultController : ControllerBase
    {
        private readonly EventsContext dbContext;


        public DefaultController(EventsContext dbContext)
        {
            this.dbContext = dbContext;

            if (this.dbContext.Events.Count() == 0)
            {
                foreach (var b in DataSource.GetEvents())
                {
                    dbContext.Events.Add(b);
                }

                dbContext.SaveChanges();
            }
        }

        [HttpPost]
        [Route("api/[controller]")]
        public IActionResult Get()
        {
            var events = dbContext.Events.ToList();
            return Ok(events);
        }


        [HttpPost]
        [Route("api/Default/Add")]
        public void Add([FromBody] CRUDModel<Event> args)
        {
            dbContext.Events.Add(args.Value);
            dbContext.SaveChangesAsync();
        }

        [HttpPost]
        [Route("api/Default/Update")]
        public async Task Update(CRUDModel<Event> args)
        {
            var entity = await dbContext.Events.FindAsync(args.Value.Id);
            if (entity != null)
            {
                dbContext.Entry(entity).CurrentValues.SetValues(args.Value);
                await dbContext.SaveChangesAsync();
            }
        }

        [HttpPost]
        [Route("api/Default/Delete")]
        public async Task Delete(CRUDModel<Event> args)
        {
            var key = Convert.ToInt32(Convert.ToString(args.Key));
            var app = dbContext.Events.Find(key);
            if (app != null)
            {
                dbContext.Events.Remove(app);
                await dbContext.SaveChangesAsync();
            }
        }

        [HttpPost]
        [Route("api/Default/Batch")]
        public async Task Batch([FromBody] CRUDModel<Event> args)
        {
            if (args.Changed.Count > 0)
            {
                foreach (Event appointment in args.Changed)
                {
                    var entity = await dbContext.Events.FindAsync(appointment.Id);
                    if (entity != null)
                    {
                        dbContext.Entry(entity).CurrentValues.SetValues(appointment);
                    }
                }
            }
            if (args.Added.Count > 0)
            {
                foreach (Event appointment in args.Added)
                {
                    dbContext.Events.Add(appointment);

                }
            }
            if (args.Deleted.Count > 0)
            {
                foreach (Event appointment in args.Deleted)
                {
                    var app = dbContext.Events.Find(appointment.Id);
                    if (app != null)
                    {
                        dbContext.Events.Remove(app);
                    }
                }
            }
            await dbContext.SaveChangesAsync();
        }
    }
}

Sending additional parameters to the server

To send an additional custom parameter to the server-side post, make use of the AddParams method of Query. Now, assign this Query object with additional parameters to the Query property of Scheduler.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Schedule
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Data

<SfSchedule TValue="Restful_Crud.Models.EventData" Height="550px" SelectedDate="@(new DateTime(2020, 3, 11))">
    <ScheduleEventSettings TValue="Restful_Crud.Models.EventData" Query="@QueryData">
        <SfDataManager Url="http://localhost:25255/odata" Adaptor="Adaptors.ODataV4Adaptor"></SfDataManager>
    </ScheduleEventSettings>
</SfSchedule>

@code{
    public Query QueryData = new Query().From("EventDatas").AddParams("Readonly", true);
}

The value passed to the additional parameter is shown in the following image.

NOTE

The parameters added using the Query property will be sent along with the data request sent to the server on every scheduler actions.

Authorization and Authentication

It is common to have authorization in the server of origin to prevent anonymous access to the data services. SfDataManager can consume data from such protected remote data services with the proper bearer token. The access token or bearer token can be used by SfDataManager in one of the following ways.

• By using the pre-configured HttpClient with the access token or authentication message handler, SfDataManager can access protected remote services. When registering your HttpClient, the registration should be done before calling AddSyncfusionBlazor() method in Program.cs, so that SfDataManager will not create its own HttpClient and uses the already configured HttpClient.
• Setting access token in the default header of the HttpClient by injecting it in the page. See here for adding default headers to HttpClient.

@inject HttpClient _httpClient

. . . .

@code {

    . . .

    protected override async Task OnInitializedAsync()
    {
        . . . .
        _httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Authorization", $"Bearer {tokenValue}");

        await base.OnInitializedAsync();
    }
}

• Setting the access token in the Headers property of the SfDataManager. See here for adding headers.

Getting the bearer token may vary with access token providers. More information on configuring HttpClient with authentication can be found on the official page here.

Setting custom headers

To add a custom headers to the data request, use the Headers property of the SfDataManager.

The following sample code demonstrates adding custom headers to the SfDataManager request,

@using Syncfusion.Blazor
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Data;
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Schedule

<SfSchedule TValue="AppointmentData" Height="550px" @bind-SelectedDate="@currentDate" Readonly="true">
    <ScheduleEventSettings TValue="AppointmentData">
        <ScheduleViews>
            <ScheduleView Option="View.Month"></ScheduleView>
        </ScheduleViews>
        <SfDataManager Headers=@HeaderData Url="https://blazor.syncfusion.com/services/production/api/schedule" Adaptor="Adaptors.WebApiAdaptor">
        </SfDataManager>
    </ScheduleEventSettings>
</SfSchedule>

@code {
    DateTime currentDate = new DateTime(2023, 1, 6);
    private IDictionary<string, string> HeaderData = new Dictionary<string, string>();

    public class AppointmentData
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Subject { get; set; }
        public string Location { get; set; }
        public string Description { get; set; }
        public DateTime StartTime { get; set; }
        public DateTime EndTime { get; set; }
        public Nullable<bool> IsAllDay { get; set; }
        public string CategoryColor { get; set; }
        public string RecurrenceRule { get; set; }
        public Nullable<int> RecurrenceID { get; set; }
        public Nullable<int> FollowingID { get; set; }
        public string RecurrenceException { get; set; }
        public string StartTimezone { get; set; }
        public string EndTimezone { get; set; }
    }
}

Handling HTTP error

During server interaction from the Scheduler, sometimes server-side exceptions might occur. These error messages or exception details can be acquired in client-side using the OnActionFailure event.

The argument passed to the OnActionFailure event contains the error details returned from the server.

The following sample code demonstrates notifying user when server-side exception has occurred,

@using Syncfusion.Blazor
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Data;
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Schedule

<span class="error">@ErrorDetails</span>

<SfSchedule TValue="AppointmentData" Height="550px" @bind-SelectedDate="@currentDate" Readonly="true">
    <ScheduleEventSettings TValue="AppointmentData">
        <ScheduleEvents TValue="AppointmentData" OnActionFailure="@ActionFailure"></ScheduleEvents>
        <ScheduleViews>
            <ScheduleView Option="View.Month"></ScheduleView>
        </ScheduleViews>
        <SfDataManager Url="https://some.com/invalidUrl" Adaptor=" Adaptors.WebApiAdaptor">
        </SfDataManager>
    </ScheduleEventSettings>
</SfSchedule>

<style>
    .error {
        color: red;
    }
</style>

@code {
    DateTime currentDate = new DateTime(2023, 1, 6);
    public string ErrorDetails = "";

    public class AppointmentData
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Subject { get; set; }
        public string Location { get; set; }
        public string Description { get; set; }
        public DateTime StartTime { get; set; }
        public DateTime EndTime { get; set; }
        public Nullable<bool> IsAllDay { get; set; }
        public string CategoryColor { get; set; }
        public string RecurrenceRule { get; set; }
        public Nullable<int> RecurrenceID { get; set; }
        public Nullable<int> FollowingID { get; set; }
        public string RecurrenceException { get; set; }
        public string StartTimezone { get; set; }
        public string EndTimezone { get; set; }
    }

    public void ActionFailure(ActionEventArgs<AppointmentData> args)
    {
        this.ErrorDetails = "Server exception: 404 Not found";
        StateHasChanged();
    }
}

Load on demand

In the Scheduler, there is an option to implement data loading on demand, which helps minimize the amount of data transmitted over the network, especially when working with large volumes of data. This can be achieved by filtering appointments on the server side based on start date and end date.

        public async Task<List<AppointmentData>> Get(DateTime StartDate, DateTime EndDate)
        {
            return await _appointmentDataContext.AppointmentDatas.Where(evt => evt.StartTime >= StartDate && evt.EndTime <= EndDate).ToListAsync();
        }

The following code example describes the behavior of the Load on demand using custom adaptor.

SQL Server data binding(SQL Client)

The following examples demonstrate how to consume data from SQL Server using Microsoft SqlClient and bound it to Blazor Scheduler. You can achieve this requirement by using Custom Adaptor.

Before the implementation, add required NuGet like Microsoft.Data.SqlClient and Syncfusion.Blazor in your application. In the following sample, Custom Adaptor can be created as a Component. In custom adaptor Read method, you can get filter appointments using DataManagerRequest.

Based on the DataManagerRequest, you can form SQL query string and execute the SQL query and retrieve the data from database using SqlDataAdapter. The Fill method of the DataAdapter is used to populate a DataSet with the results of the SelectCommand of the DataAdapter, then convert the DataSet into List and return Result and Count pair object in Read method to bind the data to Scheduler.

Performing CRUD using Entity Framework

You need to follow the below steps to consume data from the Entity Framework in our Scheduler component.

Create DBContext class

The first step is to create a DBContext class called ScheduleDataContext to connect to a Microsoft SQL Server database.

using System;
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Metadata;

namespace Restful_Services.Models
{
    public partial class ScheduleDataContext : DbContext
    {
        public ScheduleDataContext()
        {
        }

        public ScheduleDataContext(DbContextOptions<ScheduleDataContext> options)
            : base(options)
        {
        }

        public virtual DbSet<EventData> EventData { get; set; }

        protected override void OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder optionsBuilder)
        {
            if (!optionsBuilder.IsConfigured)
            {
                optionsBuilder.UseSqlServer("Data Source=(LocalDB)\\MSSQLLocalDB;AttachDbFilename=D:\\SchedulerCRUD\\Restful_Services\\App_Data\\ScheduleData.mdf;Integrated Security=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=True;Application Name=EntityFramework;Integrated Security=True");
            }
        }

        protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
        {
            modelBuilder.Entity<EventData>(entity =>
            {
                entity.Property(e => e.Id).ValueGeneratedNever();
                entity.Property(e => e.EndTime).HasColumnType("datetime");
                entity.Property(e => e.RecurrenceID).HasColumnName("RecurrenceID");
                entity.Property(e => e.StartTime).HasColumnType("datetime");
            });
            OnModelCreatingPartial(modelBuilder);
        }

        partial void OnModelCreatingPartial(ModelBuilder modelBuilder);
    }
}

Creating OData Controller

A OData Controller has to be created which allows Scheduler directly to consume data from the Entity Framework. The following code example shows how to perform CRUD operations using Entity Framework.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.Entity;
using System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Web.Http;
using System.Web.ModelBinding;
using Microsoft.AspNet.OData;
using Restful_Services.Models;

namespace Restful_Services.Controllers
{
    public class ODataV4Controller : ODataController
    {
        private ScheduleDataContext db = new ScheduleDataContext();

        // GET: odata/ODataV4
        [EnableQuery]
        [AcceptVerbs("GET")]
        public IQueryable<EventData> GetODataV4()
        {
            return db.EventData;
        }

        // GET: odata/ODataV4(5)
        [EnableQuery]
        [AcceptVerbs("GET")]
        public IQueryable<EventData> GetODataV4(string StartDate, string EndDate)
        {
            DateTime start = DateTime.Parse(StartDate);
            DateTime end = DateTime.Parse(EndDate);
            return db.EventData.Where(evt => evt.StartTime >= start && evt.EndTime <= end);
        }

        // POST: odata/ODataV4
        [AcceptVerbs("POST", "OPTIONS")]
        public void Post([FromBody]EventData eventData)
        {
            if (ModelState.IsValid)
            {
                EventData insertData = new EventData();
                insertData.Id = (db.EventData.ToList().Count > 0 ? db.EventData.ToList().Max(p => p.Id) : 1) + 1;
                insertData.Subject = eventData.Subject;
                insertData.StartTime = Convert.ToDateTime(eventData.StartTime);
                insertData.EndTime = Convert.ToDateTime(eventData.EndTime);
                insertData.StartTimezone = eventData.StartTimezone;
                insertData.EndTimezone = eventData.EndTimezone;
                insertData.Location = eventData.Location;
                insertData.Description = eventData.Description;
                insertData.IsAllDay = eventData.IsAllDay;
                insertData.IsBlock = eventData.IsBlock;
                insertData.IsReadOnly = eventData.IsReadOnly;
                insertData.FollowingID = eventData.FollowingID;
                insertData.RecurrenceID = eventData.RecurrenceID;
                insertData.RecurrenceRule = eventData.RecurrenceRule;
                insertData.RecurrenceException = eventData.RecurrenceException;
                db.EventData.Add(insertData);
                db.SaveChanges();
            }
        }

        // PATCH: odata/ODataV4(5)
        [AcceptVerbs("PATCH", "MERGE", "OPTIONS")]
        public void Patch([FromBody]EventData eventData)
        {
            if (ModelState.IsValid)
            {
                EventData updateData = db.EventData.First(i => i.Id == Convert.ToInt32(eventData.Id));
                if (updateData != null)
                {
                    updateData.Subject = eventData.Subject;
                    updateData.StartTime = Convert.ToDateTime(eventData.StartTime);
                    updateData.EndTime = Convert.ToDateTime(eventData.EndTime);
                    updateData.StartTimezone = eventData.StartTimezone;
                    updateData.EndTimezone = eventData.EndTimezone;
                    updateData.Location = eventData.Location;
                    updateData.Description = eventData.Description;
                    updateData.IsAllDay = eventData.IsAllDay;
                    updateData.IsBlock = eventData.IsBlock;
                    updateData.IsReadOnly = eventData.IsReadOnly;
                    updateData.FollowingID = eventData.FollowingID;
                    updateData.RecurrenceID = eventData.RecurrenceID;
                    updateData.RecurrenceRule = eventData.RecurrenceRule;
                    updateData.RecurrenceException = eventData.RecurrenceException;
                    db.SaveChanges();
                }
            }
        }

        // DELETE: odata/ODataV4(5)
        [AcceptVerbs("DELETE", "OPTIONS")]
        public void Delete([FromODataUri]int key)
        {
            if (ModelState.IsValid)
            {
                EventData removeData = db.EventData.First(i => i.Id == key);
                if (removeData != null)
                {
                    db.EventData.Remove(removeData);
                    db.SaveChanges();
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Configure Scheduler component using ODataV4Adaptor

Now, the Scheduler can be configured using the SfDataManager to interact with the created OData service and consume the data appropriately. To interact with OData, use ODataV4Adaptor.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Schedule
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Data

<SfSchedule TValue="Restful_Services.Models.EventData" Height="550px" SelectedDate="@(new DateTime(2020, 04, 14))" >
    <ScheduleEventSettings TValue="Restful_Services.Models.EventData" Query="@QueryData" >
        <SfDataManager Url="http://localhost:9876/odata/" Adaptor="Adaptors.ODataV4Adaptor"></SfDataManager>
    </ScheduleEventSettings>
</SfSchedule>
@code {
    public Query QueryData = new Query().From("ODataV4");
}

NOTE

You can find the working sample on Entity framework here.

Configuring Scheduler with Google API service

We have assigned the dataSource that is retrieved from the Google services within the OnInitializedAsync method. And, the CRUD actions are performed within the ActionCompleted event.

We have to write our own service to connect retrieve the events from the Google calendar.

NOTE

The runnable sample for the above code will be available here.
