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

  • Lightweight (48kb br compressed modern version)
  • Zero-dependency (pre-built bundle)
  • Used by Bookly

Inspired by FullCalendar, implements similar options.

Table of contents

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 calendar will avoid fetching events because it already has this information stored.

display

The rendering type of the event. Can be 'auto' or 'background'

In addition, in your callback functions, you may get the 'ghost', 'preview' and 'pointer' for this property, which are internal values and are used, for example, to display events during drag-and-drop operations

backgroundColor

The eventBackgroundColor override for this specific event

extendedProps

A plain object holding miscellaneous properties specified during parsing in the explicitly given extendedProps field

Parsing event from a plain object

When Event Calendar receives an array of plain event’s objects either from the events option or as a result of an HTTP request to a URL of an event source, it parses the input objects into proper Event objects.

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

id

string or integer A unique identifier of the event. Default auto-generated value

resourceId

string or integer An ID of a resource that the event is associated with. This field is not used if resourceIds is provided. Default undefined

resourceIds

Array An array of resource IDs that the event is associated with. This field is used instead of resourceId. Default []

start

string or Date This should be either an ISO8601 datetime string like '2022-12-31 09:00:00', or a JavaScript Date object holding the event’s start time

end

string or Date This should be either an ISO8601 datetime string like '2022-12-31 13:00:00', or a JavaScript Date object holding the event’s end time

title

string The text that will appear on the event. Default ''

editable

boolean Overrides the master editable option for this single event. Default undefined

startEditable

boolean Overrides the master eventStartEditable option for this single event. Default undefined

display

string The rendering type of the event. Can be 'auto' or 'background'. Default 'auto'

backgroundColor

string Sets the event’s background color just like the calendar-wide eventBackgroundColor option. Default undefined

color

string This is currently an alias for the backgroundColor field. Default undefined

extendedProps

object A plain object with any miscellaneous properties. It will be directly transferred to the extendedProps property of the Event object. Default {}

Duration object

This is a JavaScript object that the Event Calendar uses to store information about a period of time, like 30 minutes or 1 day and 6 hours.

Here are all properties that exist in Duration object:

years

The number of years in duration

months

The number of months in duration

days

The number of days in duration

seconds

The number of seconds in duration. If you want hours and minutes, you need to do division on this property

inWeeks

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
