Event Calendar

See demo.

  • Zero-dependency (pre-built bundle)
  • Used by Bookly

Inspired by FullCalendar, implements similar options.

Usage

Svelte component / ES6 module

The first step is to install the Event Calendar core package:

npm install --save-dev @event-calendar/core

Then install any additional plugins you plan to use:

npm install --save-dev @event-calendar/time-grid

You must use at least one plugin that provides a view. The following plugins are currently available:

  • @event-calendar/day-grid
  • @event-calendar/list
  • @event-calendar/resource-time-grid
  • @event-calendar/time-grid
  • @event-calendar/interaction (doesn't provide a view)

Then, in your Svelte component, use the calendar something like this:

<script>
    import Calendar from '@event-calendar/core';
    import TimeGrid from '@event-calendar/time-grid';

    let plugins = [TimeGrid];
    let options = {
        view: 'timeGridWeek',
        events: [
            // your list of events
        ]
    };
</script>

<Calendar {plugins} {options} />

Or in ES6 module:

import Calendar from '@event-calendar/core';
import TimeGrid from '@event-calendar/time-grid';

let ec = new Calendar({
    target: document.getElementById('ec'),
    props: {
        plugins: [TimeGrid],
        options: {
            view: 'timeGridWeek',
            events: [
                // your list of events
            ]
        }
    }
});

Pre-built browser ready bundle

Include the following lines of code in the <head> section of your page:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@event-calendar/build/event-calendar.min.css">
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@event-calendar/build/event-calendar.min.js"></script>

If you don't need IE11 support, you can use the modern version of the bundle instead: event-calendar-modern.min.css and event-calendar-modern.min.js. The lack of IE11 support makes the bundle ~1.5 times smaller.

Then initialize the calendar with something like this:

let ec = new EventCalendar(document.getElementById('ec'), {
    view: 'timeGridWeek',
    events: [
        // your list of events
    ]
});

Modifying options after initialization

You can modify the calendar options after initialization using the setOption method.

ec.setOption('slotDuration', '01:00');

In Svelte, you can simply update the original options object.

<script>
    import Calendar from '@event-calendar/core';
    import TimeGrid from '@event-calendar/time-grid';

    let plugins = [TimeGrid];
    let options = {
        view: 'timeGridWeek'
    };

    function updateOptions() {
        options.slotDuration = '01:00';
    }
</script>

<button on:click={updateOptions}>Change slot duration</button>
<Calendar {plugins} {options} />

The Event Calendar will fetch events for the entire month of February and store them in its internal storage. Then, say the user switches to week view and begins browsing the weeks in February. The calendar will avoid fetching events because it already has this information stored.

Determines whether the duration represents a time period in weeks. This value is set during parsing the input data

Parsing duration from input values

When Event Calendar receives a value for options like duration, scrollTime, slotDuration and others, it parses it into a proper Duration object.

The admissible input value can be specified in one of three formats:

  • an object with any of the following keys: year, years, month, months, day, days, minute, minutes, second, seconds
  • a string in the format hh:mm:ss or hh:mm. For example, '05:00' specifies 5 hours
  • an integer specifying the total number of seconds

Resource object

This is a JavaScript object that the Event Calendar uses to store information about a resource. Calendar events can be associated with resources and displayed separately using the resource view.

Here are all properties that exist in Resource object:

id

The unique string identifier for the resource

title

The title of the resource

Parsing resource from a plain object

When Event Calendar receives an array of plain resource’s objects for the resources option, it parses the input objects into proper Resource objects.

Here are all admissible fields for the resource’s input object:

id

integer or string Uniquely identifies the resource. Event objects with a corresponding resourceIds field will be linked to this resource. Will be coerced into a string

title

string Text that will be displayed on the resource when it is rendered. Default ''

View object

A View object contains information about a calendar view, such as title and date range.

Here are all properties that exist in View object:

type

Name of the view

title

Title text that is displayed at the top of the header toolbar

currentStart

JavaScript Date that is the start of the interval the view is trying to represent. For example, in month view, this will be the first day of the month. This value disregards hidden days

currentEnd

JavaScript Date that is the end of the interval the view is trying to represent. Note: This value is exclusive. For example, in month view, this will be the day after the last day of the month. This value disregards hidden days

activeStart

JavaScript Date that is the first visible day. In month view, this value is often before the 1st day of the month, because most months do not begin on the first day-of-week

activeEnd

JavaScript Date that is the last visible day. Note: This value is exclusive
