Editor Customization

The SchedulerFormEditor component is rendered by the SchedulerForm component. It provides a set of Field components responsible for editing each individual field of dateItem being edited.

In order to enable further customization of the currently existing editable fields or to introduce new fields to the editor, we've exposed the editor property, which enables:

• Customizing the default editor—Customize some of the properties available to the default SchedulerFormEditor component.
• Provide custom editor—Replace the default editor with an entirely custom one.

Customizing the default editor

Before we begin with customizing the default editor, we must first import it. We're shipping the SchedulerFormEditor component through the @progress/kendo-react-scheduler package, so you can import it in any React project with the following import statement.

Copy Codeconst FormWithCustomEditor = (props) => {
    return (<SchedulerForm {...props} editor={CustomEditor} />)
}
...
return (
    <Scheduler form={FormWithCustomEditor} />
)

Since the SchedulerFormEditor is a composite component of the KendoReact FormElement. In addition to all properties of the FormElement, we provide additional properties for overriding any of the internal field editors.

Extending the root element

Through the editor property of the SchedulerForm we can pass a modified version of the default SchedulerFormEditor component. Such modifications can include passing additional className, style or horizontal properties. For the full list of properties please refer to the SchedulerFormEditorProps API.

The following example demonstrates how to customize the default SchedulerFormEditor component, by setting the horizontal property to true, which will render the component in horizontal mode.

Replacing default field editors

Another common scenario is replacing some of the internal field editors we expose, without explicitly having to re-write the whole editor by yourself.

For each field, we expose a set of Error, Label and Editor property. For example, the title field have three components corresponding to its state, each of which can be modified through the titleError,titleLabel and titleEditor properties. For the full list of properties please refer to the SchedulerFormEditorProps API.

The following example demonstrates how to provide custom error components which are only displayed once the user have interacted with the field, or tried submitting the form.

Provide Custom Editor

Depending on the application requirements, sometimes entirely custom form implementation is necessary. Because of this we allow providing an entirely custom component as editor. The communication between the form and the editor fields is achieved through the usage of the Field component.

The following example demonstrates building an entirely custom editor in combination with custom form.
