Example

  end: "2023-12-01T13:00:00",
  text: "Event 1",
  cssClass: "my-event",
  resizeDisabled: true
};

const e = new DayPilot.Event(data);

Storing Custom Properties

In order to avoid collision with property names that might be added in the future it is recommended to store custom properties in the tags object:

const data = {
  id: 1,
  start: "2023-12-01T09:00:00",
  end: "2023-12-01T13:00:00",
  text: "Event 1",
  cssClass: "my-event",
  resizeDisabled: true,
  tags : {
    category: "category1"
  }
};

const e = new DayPilot.Event(data);

You can access the custom tag values using DayPilot.Event.tag() method:

const category = e.tag("category");  // "category1"
