# Event Labels - Angular Event calendar demo

Show colour-coded event labels inside each day cell of a Angular month view event calendar — events that don't fit open in a popover. For Angular 22 and Ionic 8.

## Description

Events can be displayed in a couple of different ways. Most of the time showing the event data inside and across the calendar cells is the way to go. When configuring the `calendar` object, you can set `labels: true`. All of this happens under the [`view`](https://mobiscroll.com/docs/angular/eventcalendar/api#opt-view) option.

The number of visible labels are determined by the available space and the ones that don't fit will be shown in a popover. To save vertical space you can [show all events in a popover](https://demo.mobiscroll.com/angular/eventcalendar/event-popover).

## What this demo shows

- A desktop month view event calendar that expands horizontally to fill the available width of its parent container as the screen size or browser width changes.
- **Month grid:** Day cells display event labels directly inside the calendar, giving users a full-month overview on larger screens.
- **Event labels:** Labels use different visual styles for different event types, including all-day events, multi-day all-day events, and timed events with a specific end time.
- **Color coding:** Event colors help distinguish events at a glance.
- **Overflow handling:** The number of visible labels in each day cell depends on the available vertical space.
- **More events popover:** When a day contains more events than can fit, an `X more` label appears in the cell and opens a popover with the remaining events when clicked.
- **Event selection:** Clicking or hovering an event label highlights it. Clicking an event also shows a toast at the bottom center of the view with the event title.
- **Day hover state:** Hovering a day cell highlights the day number in the top-right corner with a gray background.
- **Day selection:** Clicking an empty area of a day cell selects that day and highlights the day number with a blue background.
- **Swipe navigation:** The month can be changed by clicking and dragging the calendar left or right.
- **Header navigation:** The header shows the current month and year on the left, with previous and next arrow buttons for changing months and a `Today` button (between the navigation arrows) for returning to today's date.

## Best for

- **Desktop month overviews:** Showing a full month of events on larger screens where both horizontal and vertical space are available.
- **Color-coded planning:** Scenarios where users need to visually distinguish event types and scan the month quickly.
- **Interactive browsing:** Use cases where users need to inspect events, select days, and move between months directly from the month grid.

## Code

### Component

```ts
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { MbscCalendarEvent, MbscEventcalendarOptions, MbscModule, Notifications, setOptions } from '@mobiscroll/angular';

setOptions({
  theme: 'ios',
  themeVariant: 'light',
});

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root', 
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  providers: [Notifications],
  standalone: true,
  imports: [CommonModule, MbscModule],
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
  constructor(
    private http: HttpClient,
    private notify: Notifications,
  ) {}

  myEvents: MbscCalendarEvent[] = [];

  eventSettings: MbscEventcalendarOptions = {
    clickToCreate: true,
    dragToCreate: true,
    dragToMove: true,
    dragToResize: true,
    eventDelete: true,
    view: {
      calendar: {
        labels: true,
      },
    },
    onEventClick: (args) => {
      this.notify.toast({
        message: args.event.title,
      });
    },
  };

  ngOnInit(): void {
    this.http.jsonp<MbscCalendarEvent[]>('https://trial.mobiscroll.com/events/?vers=5', 'callback').subscribe((resp) => {
      this.myEvents = resp;
    });
  }
}
```

### Template

```html
<mbsc-eventcalendar [data]="myEvents" [options]="eventSettings"></mbsc-eventcalendar>
```

## Implementation notes

- Set `view: { calendar: { labels: true } }` to display a month grid with inline event labels in each day cell. When labels overflow the available cell height, the remainder appear in an `X more` popover automatically.
- Load events from a remote endpoint using `getJson` and assign them to `data`; for the imperative API, call `inst.setEvents(events)` in the callback.
- Handle `onEventClick` to show a `Toast` with `args.event.title`.
