Custom data in CalendarEvent

[Matt]

Is it possible to associate custom application data to a CalendarEvent object? I'm writing a Calendar based application where each entry has additional application data associated with it. Currently, I created a class ApplicationEvent that extends CalendarEvent. I'm creating an array of ApplicationEvent objects and setting that to the RadCalendar eventSource. Whenever any events are triggered from the RadCalendar, I get the CalendarEvent but don't have access to any of the custom properties of the ApplicationEvent class.

The only workaround I can find is that when I handle an event, I search the source array for an element with the same title and date but it seems like a silly way to do it. Also, I do not have a guarantee that the date/title combination in my application is unique so it's not a failsafe method.

Hi,

Thank you for your question and for your interest in NativeScript.

I reviewed your problem end tested the given scenario while using RadCalendar from plugin. that when the RadCalendar event has been triggered the return object is from type CalendarSelectionEventData and perhaps the objects from class extension have been ignored.

It would help if you could give us some more info about your scenario or to send us sample project where your case could be debugged locally. This will help us to give you solution.

You could also review the sample app in here.

I hope this helps.

Hi Matt,

In my further I found that such implementation to extend CalendarEvent is missing in the plugin. eventSource property is from type ObservableArray<CalendarEvent> and in case you would like to use CustomCalendarEvent the object will not be add in the array properly.

At the moment the workaround is to search the source array for an element as you mention in your question.  You could log new feature request in this GitHub repo, where you could describe your problem and the feature that you would like to be add in `--`


I will be happy to assist you if you have further questions.

Thanks Nikolay. That was my conclusion as well I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.
