Event Calendar

See demo and changelog.

Full-sized drag & drop JavaScript event calendar with resource & timeline views:

Lightweight (36kb br compressed)
Zero-dependency (pre-built bundle)
Used on over 70,000 websites with Bookly

Inspired by FullCalendar, implements similar options.

Usage

JavaScript module / Svelte component

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

Then, in your JavaScript module:

import Calendar from '@event-calendar/core';
import TimeGrid from '@event-calendar/time-grid';
// Import CSS if your build tool supports it
import '@event-calendar/core/index.css';

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

Or in your Svelte component, use the calendar 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} />

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/[email protected]/event-calendar.min.css">
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@event-calendar/[email protected]/event-calendar.min.js"></script>

Please note that the file paths contain an indication of a specific version of the library. You can remove this indication, then the latest version will be loaded:
<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>
But it is recommended to always specify the version and explicitly update it if necessary, in order to avoid unpredictable problems when a new version of the library is released.

Then initialize the calendar 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} />

If you want background events not to be ignored, then instead of true you can pass an object with the following properties:

eventFilter

A function to determine whether a given event should be taken into account or not.

function(event) {
    // return true or false
}

event

Event object to be analyzed.

The function must return true to have this event counted, or false to ignore it

lazyFetching

Type boolean
Default true

Determines when event fetching should occur.

When set to true (the default), the calendar will only fetch events when it absolutely needs to, minimizing HTTP requests. For example, say your calendar starts out in month view, in February. 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.

When set to false, the calendar will fetch events any time the view is switched, or any time the current date changes (for example, as a result of the user clicking prev/next).

listDayFormat

Type object or function
Default {weekday: 'long'}

Views override the default value as follows:
dayGridMonth theme => ({...theme, view: 'ec-day-grid ec-month-view'})
listDay theme => ({...theme, view: 'ec-list ec-day-view'})
listMonth theme => ({...theme, view: 'ec-list ec-month-view'})
listWeek theme => ({...theme, view: 'ec-list ec-week-view'})
listYear theme => ({...theme, view: 'ec-list ec-year-view'})
resourceTimeGridDay theme => ({...theme, view: 'ec-time-grid ec-resource-day-view'})
resourceTimeGridWeek theme => ({...theme, view: 'ec-time-grid ec-resource-week-view'})
resourceTimelineDay theme => ({...theme, view: 'ec-timeline ec-resource-day-view'})
resourceTimelineMonth theme => ({...theme, view: 'ec-timeline ec-resource-month-view'})

timeGridWeek theme => ({...theme, view: 'ec-time-grid ec-week-view'})

Defines the CSS classes that the Event Calendar uses to generate HTML markup.

This value can be either a plain object with all necessary properties, or a callback function that receives default theme object and should return a new one:

function (theme) {
  // return actual theme object
}

theme

titleFormat

Type object or function
Default {year: 'numeric', month: 'short', day: 'numeric'}

Views override the default value as follows:
dayGridMonth {year: 'numeric', month: 'long'}
timeGridDay {year: 'numeric', month: 'long', day: 'numeric'}

Defines the text that is displayed in the header toolbar’s title.

This value can be either an object with options for the native JavaScript Intl.DateTimeFormat object, or a callback function that returns a Content with the formatted string:

function (start, end) {
  // return Content with the formatted date string
}

start

end

unselect

Type function
Default undefined
Requires Interaction plugin

Callback function that is triggered when the current selection is cleared.

A selection can be cleared for a number of reasons:

The user clicks away from the current selection (this does not happen when unselectAuto is false).
The user makes a new selection. The unselect callback will be fired before the new selection occurs.
The user navigates forward or backward in the current view, or switches to a new view.
The unselect method is called via the API.

function (info) { }

info is an object with the following properties:

jsEvent

JavaScript native event object with low-level information such as click coordinates.

If unselect has been triggered via the unselect method, jsEvent will be undefined

view

The current View object

unselectAuto

Type boolean
Default true
Requires Interaction plugin

Determines whether clicking elsewhere on the page will clear the current selection. See selectable.

unselectCancel

Type string
Default ''
Requires Interaction plugin

A CSS selector that specifies elements that will ignore the unselectAuto option.

Clicking on elements that match this CSS selector will prevent the current selection from being cleared (because of the unselectAuto option).

view

Type string
Default 'resourceTimeGridWeek'

The view that is displayed in the calendar. Can be 'dayGridMonth', 'listDay', 'listWeek', 'listMonth', 'listYear', 'resourceTimeGridDay', 'resourceTimeGridWeek', 'resourceTimelineDay', 'resourceTimelineWeek', 'resourceTimelineMonth', 'timeGridDay' or 'timeGridWeek'.

viewDidMount

Type function
Default undefined

Callback function that is triggered right after the view has been added to the DOM.

function (info) { }

info is an object with the following properties:

view

The mounted View object

views

Type object
Default {}

You can specify options that apply only to specific views. To do so provide separate options objects within the views option, keyed by the name of the view.

Methods

Methods allow you to manipulate the Event Calendar after initialization. They are accessible from the calendar instance.

In Svelte, methods are available from a component instance:

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

    let ec;
    let plugins = [TimeGrid];
    let options = {
        view: 'timeGridWeek',
        eventSources: [{events: function() {
            console.log('fetching...');
            return [];
        }}]
    };

    function invokeMethod() {
        ec.refetchEvents();
    }
</script>

<button on:click={invokeMethod}>Refetch events</button>
<Calendar bind:this={ec} {plugins} {options} />

getOption( name )

Parameters
- name string The option name
Return value mixed or undefined

This method allows you to get the current value of any calendar option.

// E.g. Get current date
let date = ec.getOption('date');

setOption( name, value )

Parameters
- name string The option name
- value mixed The new option value
Return value EventCalendar The calendar instance for chaining

This method allows you to set new value to any calendar option.

// E.g. Change the current date
ec.setOption('date', new Date());

addEvent( event )

Parameters
- event object A plain object that will be parsed into an Event object
Return value Event object or null

Adds a new event to the calendar.

getEventById( id )

Parameters
- id string|integer The ID of the event
Return value Event object or null

Returns a single event with the matching id.

getEvents()

Return value Event[] Array of Event objects

Returns an array of events that the calendar has in memory.

removeEventById( id )

Parameters
- id string|integer The ID of the event
Return value EventCalendar The calendar instance for chaining

Removes a single event with the matching id.

updateEvent( event )

Parameters
- event object A plain object or Event object
Return value EventCalendar The calendar instance for chaining

Updates a single event with the matching event.id.

refetchEvents()

Return value EventCalendar The calendar instance for chaining

Refetches events from all sources.

dateFromPoint( x, y )

Return value object or null

Returns an info object with data as if the dateClick event had fired for that point.

info object contains the following properties:

date

allDay

true or false. Determines if the point is in the all-day slot. Month and list views are also considered as all-day slots

dayEl

resource

If the current view is a resource view, the Resource object that owns this date

Using this method, you can, for example, find out on which day a click occurred inside a multi-day event. To do this, inside eventClick, pass the jsEvent.clientX and jsEvent.clientY coordinates to dateFromPoint and get the desired date.

destroy()

Return value undefined
Not available in Svelte

Destroys the calendar, removing all DOM elements, event handlers, and internal data.

Please note that this method is not available in Svelte. Instead, the calendar is destroyed gracefully when the component containing it is destroyed.

getView()

Return value View

Returns the View object for the current view.

next()

Return value EventCalendar The calendar instance for chaining

Moves the current calendar date forward by 1 day/week/month (depending on the current view).

prev()
