Special Properties

The options object can specify any of the top-level properties. In addition to the standard properties, the following special properties are supported:

• scrollTo - scrolls to the specified date/time after update (see also scrollTo() method)
• scrollX - scrolls to the specified x position (in pixels) after update
• scrollY - scrolls to the specified y position (in pixels) after update

• events - the value (array of events) will be saved to events.list before update
• links - the value (array of links) will be saved to links.list before update

Example (scrollTo)

dp.update({scrollTo: "2018-10-01"});

corresponds to 

dp.update();
dp.scrollTo("2018-10-01");

Example (events)

dp.update({events: [ {id: 1, start: ..... } ... ]});

corresponds to 

dp.update({events: [ {id: 1, start: ..... } ... ]});

Optimized Update

An optimized update is performed if the only property in the options object is one of these properties:

• separators
• events
• rowHeaderColumns

Examples

Changing properties directly:

dp.separators = [{color:"red", location: new DayPilot.Date()}];
dp.update();

Changing properties using options parameter:

dp.update({ separators: [{color:"red", location: new DayPilot.Date()}] });

AngularJS Example

Note: The DayPilot.Scheduler object is stored in the $scope under the name specified using id attribute ($scope.dp in this example).

<div ng-app="main" ng-controller="SchedulerCtrl" >
  <daypilot-scheduler id="dp" daypilot-config="config" daypilot-events="events" ></daypilot-scheduler>
  <div>
      <button ng-click="update()">Refresh the Scheduler</button>
  </div>
</div>

<script>
  var app = angular.module('main', ['daypilot']).controller('SchedulerCtrl', function($scope) {
  // ...

      $scope.update = function() {
          $scope.dp.update();
      };

  // ...
  });
</script>
