Add Scheduler component

[oliviertassinari]

Summary 💡

Provide a component to organize an agenda

Examples 🌈

Motivation 🔦

This component is relatively frequently required in enterprise applications. There is likely enough feature surface area to both cover the Community and Pro plan.

• Simply/quick use cases to display date ranges. Source, Retool/Stripe app

Really looking forward to this! We just purchased Kendo React for now, but given our love for the MUI Component API's, we'd switch to this in a heartbeat if it was comparable or better!

Take a look at https://www.bryntum.com/products/scheduler/.
I've used it years ago with ExtJS, but from the beginning it wast one of the best on the market.
They also offer https://www.bryntum.com/products/calendar/, but I'm not sure if this issue is about Scheduler or Calendar, so I'm linking both.

Currently using Full Calendar, but would love the flexibility of using an MUI based scheduler!

Currently using another component to do that, but really really interrested by this implementation directly on mui!
What we are looking for in the Timeline view mode (multi rows to organize per person/per room etc.).
That's required on many use cases on enterprises!

We are using mui since few years. Since you started to develop mui-x, we are replacing our third libraries by mui-x. We already use datagrid, treeview and date pickers (and plan to use charts as it becames stable). I am impatient to have the Scheduler which is a really important component for us.

Do you have an idea when this component would be implemented?

We love the MUI/MUIX components. We use the Devextreme Reactive charts and scheduler extensively, which recently announced was moving into maintenance mode (https://github.com/DevExpress/devextreme-reactive/blob/master/README.md). We'd love to convert more to MUIX and would be interested in beta testing anything that may come available.

@troyschneringer I would be curious to know how moving from Devextreme Reactive charts to MUI X Charts is like as a user journey.

Interesting retrospective that they provide https://github.com/DevExpress/devextreme-reactive/blob/master/README.md#why-devextreme-reactive-is-now-in-maintenance-support-mode

DevExtreme Reactive began as an alternative to the main DevExtreme product line with the following objectives:

• Provide fully native components for Angular, React, and Vue. Reduce maintenance costs due to a shared codebase.
• Offer users of popular open-source UI suites such as Bootstrap, Vuetify, and MUI a set of rich components (DataGrid, Scheduler, Charts).
• Introduce more flexibility via a comprehensive API and built-in plugin system.

Since the original release of DevExtreme Reactive, we reached the following conclusions:

• Of all our product suites, only the React line (with MUI integration) generated user interest. That market trend forced us to terminate our Reactive Angular and Reactive Vue produce lines.
• Due to the popularity of DevExtreme Reactive components for MUI, MUI chose to launch their own set of UI components.
• Based on research, we discovered that developers preferred out-of-the-box solutions versus writing highly customizable code manually. Accordingly, most opted to use React UI components shipping in our main DevExtreme product library.

At present, we must maintain two competitive product lines in parallel - using resources that could be better spent delivering additional value for our primary JS/TS product line (js.devexpress.com/react).

Back in 2019, after seeing mui/material-ui#18035 I tried to reach out to DevExpress CEO to find some ways to join force but I couldn't get hold on him. It will be interesting to see how https://npm-stat.com/charts.html?package=devextreme-react&package=%40devexpress%2Fdx-react-core evolves. Right now, it seems that DevExpress deprecated 50% of their React presence.
