Set Initial Data Manually

The following example demonstrates how to manually set initial data in the Kendo UI Scheduler when using AngularJS.

Example

    <div id="example" ng-app="KendoDemos">
      <div ng-controller="MyCtrl">
        <div kendo-scheduler="sched" k-options="schedulerOptions"></div>
      </div>
      <style>
        .custom-event {
          text-shadow: 0 1px 1px #000;
        }
        .custom-all-day-event {
          text-align: center;
          text-transform: uppercase
        }
      </style>
    </div>

    <script>
      angular.module("KendoDemos", [ "kendo.directives" ]);
        .controller("MyCtrl", function($scope){

        $scope.ds = new kendo.data.SchedulerDataSource({
          batch: true,
          transport: {
            read: {
              url: "https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/service/tasks",
              dataType: "jsonp"
            },
            update: {
              url: "https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/service/tasks/update",
              dataType: "jsonp"
            },
            create: {
              url: "https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/service/tasks/create",
              dataType: "jsonp"
            },
            destroy: {
              url: "https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/service/tasks/destroy",
              dataType: "jsonp"
            },
            parameterMap: function(options, operation) {
              if (operation !== "read" && options.models) {
                return {models: kendo.stringify(options.models)};
              }
            }
          },
          schema: {
            model: {
              id: "taskId",
              fields: {
                taskId: { from: "TaskID", type: "number" },
                title: { from: "Title", defaultValue: "No title", validation: { required: true } },
                start: { type: "date", from: "Start" },
                end: { type: "date", from: "End" },
                startTimezone: { from: "StartTimezone" },
                endTimezone: { from: "EndTimezone" },

            filters: [
              { field: "ownerId", operator: "eq", value: 1 },
              { field: "ownerId", operator: "eq", value: 2 }
            ]
          }
        });

        $scope.schedulerOptions = {
          autoBind: false,
          date: new Date("2014/10/14"),

      $scope.$on("kendoWidgetCreated", function() {

        //set data
