How to Create a Vue.js Scheduler App – DHTMLX Tutorial

If you’re looking to create a robust scheduler app with Vue.js, DHTMLX offers a powerful and easy-to-use solution. In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the steps to set up a simple scheduler app with Vue.js using the DHTMLX Scheduler library.

Step 1: Set up Vue.js project

First, create a new Vue.js project using the Vue CLI:

  $ vue create vue-scheduler-app
  

Once the project is created, navigate to the project directory:

  $ cd vue-scheduler-app
  

Step 2: Install DHTMLX Scheduler

Next, install the DHTMLX Scheduler library using npm:

  $ npm install dhtmlx-scheduler
  

Step 3: Initialize DHTMLX Scheduler

Create a new component for the scheduler and initialize DHTMLX Scheduler:

  <template>
    <div id="scheduler"></div>
  </template>

  <script>
  import dhxScheduler from 'dhtmlx-scheduler';

  export default {
    mounted() {
      dhxScheduler.init('scheduler', new Date(), 'week');
    }
  }
  </script>

  <style>
    #scheduler {
      width: 100%;
      height: 600px;
    }
  </style>
  

Step 4: Add Events to the Scheduler

To add events to the scheduler, you can use DHTMLX Scheduler’s API:

  <script>
  export default {
    mounted() {
      dhxScheduler.init('scheduler', new Date(), 'week');
      dhxScheduler.parse([
        { start_date: '2022-01-01 09:00', end_date: '2022-01-01 12:00', text: 'Meeting' },
        { start_date: '2022-01-02 10:00', end_date: '2022-01-02 13:00', text: 'Conference' }
      ], 'json');
    }
  }
  </script>
  

Step 5: Run the Vue.js App

Finally, run the Vue.js app to see the scheduler in action:

  $ npm run serve
  

With these simple steps, you can create a powerful scheduler app with Vue.js using the DHTMLX Scheduler library. Feel free to explore the library’s documentation for more advanced features and customization options.
