Adding Extra fields other than the available fields in the Appointment class

Question

I understand that the sfCalendar Appointmemt class provides some fields like subject, notes, location, starttime,endtime etc..

Is it possible to add some other custom variables or to extend this class so that we can add some extra variables that can be then available on calendertap callback?

Hi Meenu,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.

Based on the provided, we have checked and your requirement is “Adding required fields for appointments in the Flutter event calendar”. Your requirement can be achieved by using custom appointment. We have prepared the simple sample for the same. Please find the sample from the following link.

Sample link: https://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/forum/160736/ze/appointment_custombuilder1225603520.zip

Code snippet:

class Meeting {
Meeting({this.eventName, this.from, this.to, this.background, this.isAllDay=false,this.id});

String eventName;
DateTime from;
DateTime to;
Color background;
bool isAllDay;
int id;
}

MeetingDataSource getCalendarDataSource() {
List<Meeting> appointments=<Meeting>[];
appointments.add(Meeting(
    from: DateTime.now(),
    to: DateTime.now().add(const Duration(hours: 1)),
    eventName: 'Meeting',
    background: Colors.pink,
    isAllDay: true,
    id:1
));

}
