Javascript Timeline Load Events from Google Calendar Example

Event data can be loaded from remote sources, like public google calendars. Through the integration plugin you can easily show events that are available in a public calendar. The integration plugin needs to be added to the download package or installed separately from a dedicated NPM package.

You will just need the CALENDAR_ID and an apiKey from google and you should be ready to roll.

In this example you can see how multiple public holiday calendars are loaded as separate resources into the timeline.

Public calendars are read-only. If you are interested in syncing private google calendars with read/write/delete access, check out this example.

This example uses the integration plugin to connect to and load events from Google Calendar and it is not available in the trial. Give the live demo a try and see how it can be configured.
