Get appointment resource in client side

[Jonathan Levy]

Hi

I'd like to get the resource for the selected appointment in the client side. i.e. when I click to insert a new appointment or edit an existing appointment I want to be able to get the resource associated with the appointment. I currently get the appointment like this eventArgs.get_appointment(), is there a way for me to do something like eventArgs.get_appointment().get_resource() ?

Thanks
Jon

Hi Jonathan Levy,

When inserting an appointment you cannot get the associated resources because there aren't any, i.e. the appointment is not yet created. When editing an appointment, you can obtain the associated resources the following way ( imagine you have resource called "Room")

function appointmentEditing(sender, args) {
            var text = args.get_appointment().get_resources().getResourcesByType("Room").getResource(0).get_text();
        }

As well as using the getResourceByType method, you may find the following method useful:
.getResource (index), returns collection of associated resources

For your convenience I have attached sample project reproducing the desired functionality.

Hi Genady

Thanks for that. I also came across this which seems to work.

contextMenuSlot.get_resource().get_key()

It returns the ID of the resource which is good because I can then do somethings with it.

Cheers
