Description

This question is not about a bug. It's just that we need answers that we couldn't find in the documentation.

In a nutshell, we are trying to do two things:

  1. Adding a single event drop to the timeline.

  2. Once the event is added, we would like to programmatically scroll so that the current date and time is aligned with the right edge of the EventDrops view port.

For the moment, my main concern is the ability to add a single event.

Thanks for the great job.

Research direction
Start by exploring the EventDrops source code, particularly files in the src/ directory, to understand how drops are created and rendered. Look for existing methods like addDrop or any API for programmatic manipulation. Check the documentation and examples for scrolling functionality. Review related issues and discussions in the repository to see if there are prior attempts or suggestions. Finally, ask the maintainers for clarification on the expected behavior and API design.
