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: [
]
};
</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: [
]
}
}
});
The CSS is located at @event-calendar/core/index.css
. If your build tool supports CSS processing, you can import it like this:
import '@event-calendar/core/index.css';
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@0.15.3/event-calendar.min.css">
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@event-calendar/build@0.15.3/event-calendar.min.js"></script>
Note
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 with something like this:
let ec = new EventCalendar(document.getElementById('ec'), {
view: 'timeGridWeek',
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} />

This value can be either an object with options for the native JavaScript Intl.DateTimeFormat object, or a callback function that returns formatted string:
function (date) {
}
date
| JavaScript Date object that needs to be formatted |
unselect
- Type
function
- Default
undefined
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
Determines whether clicking elsewhere on the page will clear the current selection. See selectable.
unselectCancel
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'
, '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
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.

|
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

Array An array of resource IDs that the event is associated with. This field is used instead of resourceId . Default []
|
allDay
|
boolean Determines if the event is shown in the all-day slot. Default false
|
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

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

Parsing duration from input values
When Event Calendar receives a value for options like duration
, scrollTime
, slotDuration

The admissible input value can be specified in one of three formats:
- an object with any of the following keys:
year
, years

title
| The title of the resource |
titleHTML
| The HTML version of the title |
Parsing resource from a plain object

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
