Kendo UI Scheduler - Support for localStorage

[Siva Prasad]

Hi Team,

We bought your product recently and we have a project requirement to use the Kendo UI Scheduler extensively.

Currently our requirements are,the data comes from API and needs to be stored locally in localStorage and feed to the scheduler. Also the data created by the users in the scheduler should be persisted locally in localStorage and feed to the APIs which will save to the database.

We have seen your demos and we could not match with our requirements. Could your please provide support to acheive our project goal.

Also we have another requirement of scrolling the configured data horizontally over the weekdays.

Thanks,
Siva Prasad Chinigepalli

Hi Siva,

Although using localStorage is not supported out of the box it could be achieved using a custom solution. I would recommend checking this Code Library project, which demonstrates how a Grid could use localStorage for CRUD operations. Regarding your second question - I am afraid that displaying the data horizontally is also not supported at this point.

Hi Alexander,

We were already successful in in customizing the Kendo UI Grid to work with localStorage. We are using it currently on one of our projects. Anyways thanks for your reference.

But what we need is more information pertaining how to use the Kendo UI Scheduler to work with localStorage, that we couldn't find in your demos or documentations. 

So please provide us the technical aspects of how to use a Kendo UI Scheduler with the HTML5 localStorage. A working model or example would be highly appreciated if you could provide us.

Thanks,

Hello Siva,

I am afraid we do not have a working example matching your criteria at this point. The Scheduler widget uses a SchedulerDataSource, which extends the regular DataSource a bit. The concepts however are the same, so the logic applied in the previous example should work with the SchedulerDataSource as well.
