What are @fullcalendar/common's main functionalities?

Rendering a Basic Calendar

This code demonstrates how to render a basic calendar using the @fullcalendar/common package. It initializes a calendar with a month view and renders it in the specified HTML element.

import { Calendar } from '@fullcalendar/common';

const calendarEl = document.getElementById('calendar');
const calendar = new Calendar(calendarEl, {
  initialView: 'dayGridMonth'
});
calendar.render();

Adding Events

This code sample shows how to add events to the calendar. The events array contains objects with event details such as title, start date, and end date.

import { Calendar } from '@fullcalendar/common';

const calendarEl = document.getElementById('calendar');
const calendar = new Calendar(calendarEl, {
  initialView: 'dayGridMonth',
  events: [
    { title: 'Event 1', start: '2023-10-01' },
    { title: 'Event 2', start: '2023-10-05', end: '2023-10-07' }
  ]
});
calendar.render();

Customizing Event Appearance

This example demonstrates how to customize the appearance of events by setting properties like color. Each event object can have additional properties to control its look and feel.

import { Calendar } from '@fullcalendar/common';

const calendarEl = document.getElementById('calendar');
const calendar = new Calendar(calendarEl, {
  initialView: 'dayGridMonth',
  events: [
    { title: 'Event 1', start: '2023-10-01', color: 'red' },
    { title: 'Event 2', start: '2023-10-05', end: '2023-10-07', color: 'blue' }
  ]
});
calendar.render();

Changelog

6.0.0-beta.1 (2022-08-03)

FullCalendar no longer attempts to import .css files. Instead, FullCalendar's JS is responsible for injecting its own CSS. This solves many issues with third party libraries:

• Webpack: no longer necessary to use css-loader (see [example project][webpack-css-hack])
• Rollup: no longer necessary to use a css-processing plugin (like postcss) (see [example project][rollup-css-hack])
• NextJS: no longer necessary to ignore and manually import .css files (see [example project][next-css-hack], #6674)
• Angular 14 is incompatible with FullCalendar v5 ([see ticket][angular-css-bug]). FullCalendar v6 restores support for Angular 14 and above, but does so via a completely different package. Please use the new FullCalendar Web Component package (@fullcalendar/web-component), which can integrate with Angular via the [method described here][angular-web-components].
