Getting Started with Blazor Scheduler Component

29 Nov 202411 minutes to read

This section briefly explains about how to include Blazor Scheduler component in your Blazor Server App and Blazor WebAssembly App using Visual Studio.

To get start quickly with Blazor Scheduler, you can check on this video or GitHub sample:

Prerequisites

Create a new Blazor App in Visual Studio

You can create a Blazor Server App or Blazor WebAssembly App using Visual Studio via Microsoft Templates or the Syncfusion® Blazor Extension.

Install Syncfusion® Blazor Schedule and Themes NuGet in the App

To add Blazor Scheduler component in the app, open the NuGet package manager in Visual Studio (Tools → NuGet Package Manager → Manage NuGet Packages for Solution), search and install Syncfusion.Blazor.Schedule and Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes. Alternatively, you can utilize the following package manager command to achieve the same.

Install-Package Syncfusion.Blazor.Schedule -Version 28.1.33
Install-Package Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes -Version 28.1.33

NOTE

Syncfusion® Blazor components are available in nuget.org. Refer to NuGet packages topic for available NuGet packages list with component details.

Register Syncfusion® Blazor Service

Open ~/_Imports.razor file and import the Syncfusion.Blazor and Syncfusion.Blazor.Schedule namespace.

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

Now, register the Syncfusion® Blazor Service in the ~/Program.cs file of your Blazor Server App or Blazor WebAssembly App.

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.Web;
using Syncfusion.Blazor;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

// Add services to the container.
builder.Services.AddRazorPages();
builder.Services.AddServerSideBlazor();
builder.Services.AddSyncfusionBlazor();

var app = builder.Build();
....
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.Web;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.WebAssembly.Hosting;
using Syncfusion.Blazor;

var builder = WebAssemblyHostBuilder.CreateDefault(args);
builder.RootComponents.Add<App>("#app");
builder.RootComponents.Add<HeadOutlet>("head::after");

builder.Services.AddScoped(sp => new HttpClient { BaseAddress = new Uri(builder.HostEnvironment.BaseAddress) });

builder.Services.AddSyncfusionBlazor();
await builder.Build().RunAsync();
....

Add stylesheet and script resources

The theme stylesheet and script can be accessed from NuGet through Static Web Assets. Reference the stylesheet and script in the <head> of the main page as follows:

  • For .NET 6 Blazor Server app, include it in ~/Pages/_Layout.cshtml file.

  • For .NET 7 Blazor Server app, include it in the ~/Pages/_Host.cshtml file.

  • For Blazor WebAssembly app, include it in the ~/index.html file.

<head>
    ....
    <link href="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes/bootstrap5.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    <script src="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Core/scripts/syncfusion-blazor.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>

NOTE

Check out the Blazor Themes topic to discover various methods (Static Web Assets, CDN, and CRG) for referencing themes in your Blazor application. Also, check out the Adding Script Reference topic to learn different approaches for adding script references in your Blazor application.

Add Blazor Scheduler component

Add the Syncfusion® Blazor Scheduler component in the ~/Pages/Index.razor file.

<SfSchedule TValue=AppointmentData>
    <ScheduleViews>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Day"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Week"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.WorkWeek"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Month"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Agenda"></ScheduleView>
    </ScheduleViews>
</SfSchedule>
@code {
    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; }
    }
}
  • Press Ctrl+F5 (Windows) or ⌘+F5 (macOS) to launch the application. This will render the Syncfusion® Blazor Scheduler component in your default web browser.

Populating appointments

To populate the Scheduler with appointments, bind the event data to it by assigning the DataSource property under ScheduleEventSettings.

<SfSchedule TValue="AppointmentData" Height="650px" @bind-SelectedDate="@CurrentDate">
    <ScheduleEventSettings DataSource="@DataSource"></ScheduleEventSettings>
    <ScheduleViews>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Day"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Week"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.WorkWeek"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Month"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Agenda"></ScheduleView>
    </ScheduleViews>
</SfSchedule>

@code{
    DateTime CurrentDate = new DateTime(2020, 2, 14);
    List<AppointmentData> DataSource = new List<AppointmentData>
    {
        new AppointmentData { Id = 1, Subject = "Paris", StartTime = new DateTime(2020, 2, 13, 10, 0, 0) , EndTime = new DateTime(2020, 2, 13, 12, 0, 0) },
        new AppointmentData { Id = 2, Subject = "Germany", StartTime = new DateTime(2020, 2, 15, 10, 0, 0) , EndTime = new DateTime(2020, 2, 15, 12, 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; }
    }
}
Blazor Scheduler with Appointments

Setting date

The Blazor Scheduler usually displays the system date as its current date. To change the current date of Scheduler with specific date, define the two-way binding for SelectedDate property.

<SfSchedule TValue="AppointmentData" Height="650px" @bind-SelectedDate="@CurrentDate">
    <ScheduleViews>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Day"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Week"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.WorkWeek"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Month"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Agenda"></ScheduleView>
    </ScheduleViews>
</SfSchedule>
@code{
    DateTime CurrentDate = new DateTime(2020, 1, 10);
    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; }
    }
}

Setting view

The Scheduler displays Week view by default. To change the current view, define the applicable view name to the two-way binding of CurrentView property. The applicable view names are,

  • Day
  • Week
  • WorkWeek
  • Month
  • Agenda
  • MonthAgenda
  • TimelineDay
  • TimelineWeek
  • TimelineWorkWeek
  • TimelineMonth
  • TimelineYear
  • Year
<SfSchedule TValue="AppointmentData" Height="650px" @bind-CurrentView="@CurrentView">
    <ScheduleViews>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Day"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Week"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.WorkWeek"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Month"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Agenda"></ScheduleView>
    </ScheduleViews>
</SfSchedule>
@code{
    View CurrentView = View.Month;
    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; }
    }
}

Individual view customization

Each individual Scheduler views can be customized with its own options such as setting different start and end hour on Week and Work Week views, whereas hiding the weekend days on Month view alone which can be achieved by defining the ScheduleView.

<SfSchedule TValue="AppointmentData" Height="650px" @bind-SelectedDate="@CurrentDate">
    <ScheduleViews>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Week" StartHour="07:00" EndHour="15:00"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.WorkWeek" StartHour="10:00" EndHour="18:00"></ScheduleView>
        <ScheduleView Option="View.Month" MaxEventsPerRow="2" ShowWeekend="false"></ScheduleView>
    </ScheduleViews>
</SfSchedule>
@code{
    DateTime CurrentDate = new DateTime(2020, 2, 13);
    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; }
    }
}
