@keepfy/react-native-calendars

Keepfy react native calendars

Keepfy calendar/agenda implementation inspired by wix react-native-calendars

Description

This package implements a similar solution like react-native-calendars, but using typescript and react-hooks.

Install

yarn add @keepfy/react-native-calendars

Why

react-native-calendars seems to be abandoned, and their source code has to support old features, and on top of that, they use the XDate package, which makes the code a little bit harder to type and deal with.

TODO

• Calendar list
• Current day marking
• Day selection
• Markings on days
• Arrows on week day names
• Documentation
• Support i18n
• Example app and gifs
• Render and e2e tests
• Support lazy loading a infinite stream of dates (this one is kinda really hard.. RN lists need a size to be informed, but a date list has no start and end)

Current state

The package is a WIP, but here's our current keepfy agenda using this package:

Notes

• We still recommend react-native-calendars instead of this package because it has more features and options than this package
• RN < 60 compatibility is not a goal
• The MonthList component is not a calendar, since the calendar definition is a 12 months list, MonthList can have more than 12 months.
• This package focus is on MonthList, not on Agenda
  • If you look at the agenda implementation, you will see that it's just a fancy section list with animations for MonthList
• For now we will be depending on packages like react-native-paper and react-native-typography that we use on our app, in the near future we hope to remove these dependencies.
