Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC Scheduler

Description

How can I connect a Scheduler HtmlHelper with the Google Calendar?

Solution

1. Declare the Base calendar Url.
2. Declare the Base calendar Id for public holidays.
3. Get and declare your API_KEY.
4. Declare the specification for the region of the calendar.
5. Concatenate the steps above to use the complete resul Url.
6. Fetch the url to get the result response.
7. Add the needed properties of the events of the calendar to the dataSource of the Scheduler.

    $(document).ready(function () {
        const BASE_CALENDAR_URL = "https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars";
        const BASE_CALENDAR_ID_FOR_PUBLIC_HOLIDAY = "[e-mail]";
        const API_KEY = "YourAPI_KEY";
        const CALENDAR_REGION = "en.usa"; 

        const url = `${BASE_CALENDAR_URL}/${CALENDAR_REGION}%23${BASE_CALENDAR_ID_FOR_PUBLIC_HOLIDAY}/events?key=${API_KEY}`

        fetch(url).then(response => response.json()).then(data => {
            const holidays = data.items;
            var scheduler = $("#scheduler").data("kendoScheduler");

            for (var i = 0; i < holidays.length; i++) {

                scheduler.dataSource.add({
                    start: new Date(holidays[i].start.date),
                    isAllDay: true,
                    end: new Date(holidays[i].start.date),
                    title: holidays[i].summary,
                    description: holidays[i].description,
                    TaskID: i + 3,
                    RoomID: 3,
                    editable: {
                        destroy: false
                    }
                });
            }
        })
    })
