### Details

The method will return an array containing all events loaded into the Scheduler.

The result array won't include temporary records generated by the [Recurring Events](guides/recurring-events.md) extension.

The properties that start with `_` or `$` won't be included into the result objects, all the `Date` properties will be converted to `string` using the [format_date](api/template/format_date.md) template.
