Event Calendar Component

The Event Calendar is a simple and responsive React component that displays a monthly calendar with support for events. This component is built with React and SCSS and can be easily integrated into your React applications.

Overview

The Event Calendar component provides a visual representation of a calendar month, where users can see events for each day. It highlights the current day, handles long event titles by truncating them, and separates event times to ensure a clean layout.

Key Features

• Monthly View: Displays a complete month with days and events.
• Current Day Highlighting: Highlights the current day with a circular background.
• Event Handling:
  • Events are displayed under each day.

• Customizable Title and Button: Allows setting custom titles for the calendar and the "Add Event" button.
