Full-sized drag & drop JavaScript event calendar with resource view:
Inspired by FullCalendar, implements similar options.
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
]
}
}
});
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
modernversion of the bundle instead:event-calendar-modern.min.cssandevent-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
]
});
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} />
