How can I insert new items into a resource DataSource in the Kendo UI for jQuery Scheduler?

Solution

The following example demonstrates how to achieve the desired scenario.

<style>html { font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; }</style>
    <div id="example" class="k-content">
      <button onclick="insertResources()">Insert new items in the 'rooms' DataSource</button>
      <div id="scheduler"></div>
    </div>
    <script>

      function insertResources() {
        var scheduler = $("#scheduler").data("kendoScheduler");
        var resource = scheduler.resources[0];

        resource.dataSource.add({ text: "Meeting Room 201", value: 2, color: "#ebeeee" });
        resource.dataSource.add({text: "Meeting Room 301", value: 3, color: "#ff0033" });
        resource.dataSource.add({ text: "Meeting Room 401", value: 4, color: "#33ff11" });

        scheduler.view(scheduler.view().name);
      }

      $(function() {
        $("#scheduler").kendoScheduler({
          date: new Date("2022/6/13"),
          startTime: new Date("2022/6/13 07:00 AM"),
          height: 600,
          views: [
            "day",
            { type: "week", selected: true },
            "month",
            "agenda"
          ],
          resources: [
            {

              title: "Room"
            },
