Bind API data to schedule

[Gavin]

Hi,

I’m wondering if there is a way to add data from a weather api that I am consuming into the scheduler so I could show the weather forecast for that day?

Thanks!

Hi Moloney,

You can achieve your requirement by loading the weather forecast data to the Scheduler in the OnInitializedAsync lifecycle of the Blazor component as shown in the below code snippet.

[weatherForcastService.cs]

public Task<WeatherForecast[]> GetForecastAsync(DateTime startDate)

        {

            return Task.FromResult(Enumerable.Range(0, 5).SelectMany(day =>

            {

                var date = startDate.AddDays(day);

                return Enumerable.Range(0, 3).Select(index =>

                {

                    var startTime = date.AddHours(Random.Shared.Next(8, 12));

                    return new WeatherForecast

                    {

                        TemperatureC = Random.Shared.Next(-20, 55),

                        Subject = Summaries[Random.Shared.Next(Summaries.Length)],

                        StartTime = startTime,

                        EndTime = startTime.AddHours(2) // set the end time to 2 hours after the start time

                    };

                });

            }).ToArray());

        }

[weatherForecast.cs]

public class WeatherForecast

    {

        public DateTime StartTime { get; set; }

        public DateTime EndTime { get; set; }

        public int TemperatureC { get; set; }

        public int TemperatureF => 32 + (int)(TemperatureC / 0.5556);

        public string? Subject { get; set; }

    }

[index.razor]

@using BlazorScheduler.Data

@inject WeatherForecastService ForecastService

 

 

private WeatherForecast[]? forecasts;

    protected override async Task OnInitializedAsync()

    {

        forecasts = await ForecastService.GetForecastAsync(DateTime.Now);

 

        foreach (var forecast in forecasts)

        {

            var appointment = new AppointmentData

                {

                    Id = forecast.GetHashCode(),

                    Subject = forecast.Subject,

                    Location = "",

                    StartTime = forecast.StartTime,

                    EndTime = forecast.EndTime,

                    Description = "",

                    IsAllDay = false,

                    RecurrenceRule = "",

                    RecurrenceException = "",

                    RecurrenceID = null

                };

 

            Appointments.Add(appointment);

        }

    }

Vijay Ravi
