  • In the below code, we had a function called onTimeRangeSelected in that we have a modal which is a feature of day-pilot, and it is customized.

Step 2:

  • Create an Angular service using the following command
  • command: ng g s data
  • In the code below, we used the static/hardcoded events you can replace with API calls using HTTP-client.
  • Please ensure that data service is in providers in your Angular module.

data. service.ts
