For React and Next.js. - [Live demo](https://demo.mobiscroll.com/react/eventcalendar/recurring-events) - [View React JS code on GitHub](https://github.com/acidb/mobiscroll-demos-react/tree/main/src/demos/eventcalendar/calendar-view/recurring-events) - [View React TS code on GitHub](https://github.com/acidb/mobiscroll-demos-react-ts/tree/main/src/demos/eventcalendar/calendar-view/recurring-events) - This demo in other frameworks: [JavaScript](https://demo.mobiscroll.com/eventcalendar/recurring-events.md), [jQuery](https://demo.mobiscroll.com/jquery/eventcalendar/recurring-events.md), [Angular](https://demo.mobiscroll.com/angular/eventcalendar/recurring-events.md), [Vue](https://demo.mobiscroll.com/vue/eventcalendar/recurring-events.md) ## Description Configure `daily`, `weekly`, `monthly` and `yearly` recurring events. On top of setting up recurrence, you can exclude specific and recurring days. This is especially useful in cases when a single occurrence of an event is deleted or is moved to a different time. You can pass the recurrence rule in the `recurring` property of the event as an object or a string in `RRULE` format. [Learn about the event data structure and where to place the recurring rules](https://demo.mobiscroll.com/react/eventcalendar/event-data-structure). Use the configurator to experiment, build strings and objects that you can grab and use. **Interested in adding recurrence configuration to your UI?** [Take a look at this add/edit dialog →](https://demo.mobiscroll.com/react/eventcalendar/recurring-event-add-edit-dialog) ## What this demo shows - Shows an interactive recurrence configurator with three selectable sections for defining recurrence rules, excluded dates, and recurring exclusions. - **Recurring rule** Displays a selectable row with an input that reflects the currently selected recurrence settings and a dark blue `Edit` button. - **Recurring rule popup** Clicking the input or the `Edit` button opens a popup below the input. - **Recurrence type** The top of the popup contains a segmented control with `Daily`, `Weekly`, `Monthly`, and `Yearly` options, where the selected option defines the recurrence type. - **Repeat interval** Below the segmented control, the popup shows a `Repeat every [input] days` field with helper text explaining that the event repeats every day or every `x` days based on the entered value. - **Stop condition** The bottom part of the popup contains a `Stop condition` section with three options for ending the recurrence. - **Never stop** Shows an option that repeats the event indefinitely. - **Run until date** Shows an option with a date input that opens a date picker and repeats the event until a specific date. - **Run until occurrences** Shows an option with a numeric input that repeats the event until it reaches a specified number of occurrences. - **Code preview** Next to the recurrence rule configurator, a code snippet updates to show the selected values and how the recurring rule should be configured. - **Exclude specific dates** Shows a selectable section for excluding dates from recurring events with an `Exclude [input] from recurring events` field. - **Date exclusion picker** Clicking the exclude input opens a date picker where multiple dates can be selected. - **Recurring exclusions** Shows a third selectable section for defining a specific recurring rule for the days to exclude. - **Recurring exclusions code preview** Next to this section, a code snippet shows the selected exclusion values and how that recurring rule should be configured. ## Best for - **Learning recurrence setup** Explaining to Mobiscroll users how recurring event rules can be configured. ## Tutorial ### Recurring rule - [x] Recurring Daily; Repeat every 1 day(s); Never stop; ### Add exceptions for specific days - [ ] Exclude `2026-11-10, 2026-11-23, 2026-11-28` from recurring events ### Specify recurring rule for days to exclude - [x] Recurring Monthly; Repeat every 1 month(s) on the First; Never stop; ### Recurrence rule ```jsx // JS Object recurring: { repeat: 'daily', interval: 1 } // RRULE String recurring: 'FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=1' ``` With "Recurring rule" off: ```jsx ``` ### Recurrence exception rule ```jsx // JS Object recurringExceptionRule: { repeat: 'monthly', day: 1, interval: 1 } // RRULE String recurringExceptionRule: 'FREQ=MONTHLY;BYMONTHDAY=1;INTERVAL=1' ``` With "Exclude from recurring events" on: ```jsx recurringException: ['2026-11-10','2026-11-23','2026-11-28'], // Exact dates can only be passed in an array // JS Object recurringExceptionRule: { repeat: 'monthly', day: 1, interval: 1 } // RRULE String recurringExceptionRule: 'FREQ=MONTHLY;BYMONTHDAY=1;INTERVAL=1' ``` With "Specify recurring rule for days to exclude" off: ```jsx ``` ## API used in this demo - [`theme`](https://mobiscroll.com/docs/react/eventcalendar/api#opt-theme) - option - [`themeVariant`](https://mobiscroll.com/docs/react/eventcalendar/api#opt-themeVariant) - option - [`labels`](https://mobiscroll.com/docs/react/eventcalendar/api#opt-labels) - option - [`clickToCreate`](https://mobiscroll.com/docs/react/eventcalendar/api#opt-clickToCreate) - option - [`dragToCreate`](https://mobiscroll.com/docs/react/eventcalendar/api#opt-dragToCreate) - option - [`dragToMove`](https://mobiscroll.com/docs/react/eventcalendar/api#opt-dragToMove) - option - [`dragToResize`](https://mobiscroll.com/docs/react/eventcalendar/api#opt-dragToResize) - option - [`eventDelete`](https://mobiscroll.com/docs/react/eventcalendar/api#opt-eventDelete) - option - [`data`](https://mobiscroll.com/docs/react/eventcalendar/api#opt-data) - option - [`view`](https://mobiscroll.com/docs/react/eventcalendar/api#opt-view) - option ## Code ### JSX ```jsx import { Eventcalendar, setOptions } from '@mobiscroll/react';

const myView = useMemo(() => ({ calendar: { labels: true } }), []); return ( ); } export default App; ``` ### TSX ```tsx import { Eventcalendar, MbscCalendarEvent, MbscEventcalendarView, setOptions } from '@mobiscroll/react'; import { FC, useMemo } from 'react'; setOptions({ theme: 'ios', themeVariant: 'light' }); const App: FC = () => { const myEvents = useMemo( () => [ { recurring: { repeat: 'daily', // Possible values: 'daily', 'weekly', 'monthly', 'yearly' from: '2021-06-01', // The start date of the occurrences until: '2021-07-20', // The end date of the occurrences }, recurringException: ['2021-07-05', new Date(2021, 6, 6)], // Can contain string or date object recurringExceptionRule: { repeat: 'monthly', day: 1, }, title: 'Holiday', allDay: true, color: 'green', }, { recurring: { repeat: 'weekly', weekDays: 'SA', // Comma separated list of the week days, possible values: 'SU', 'MO', 'TU', 'WE', 'TH', 'FR', 'SA' interval: 2, // The time interval for the rule (every 2 weeks in this example) }, title: 'Shopping day', color: 'orange', }, { recurring: { repeat: 'monthly', day: 15, count: 12, // The number of occurrences }, title: 'Pay day', color: 'red', }, { recurring: { repeat: 'yearly', day: 1, month: 1, }, title: "New Year's Eve", color: 'blue', }, ], [], ); const myView = useMemo(() => ({ calendar: { labels: true } }), []); return ( ); }; export default App; ``` ## Implementation notes - Set `view: { calendar: { labels: true } }`. - Add a `recurring` object to an event to make it repeat. Set `repeat` to `'daily'`, `'weekly'`, `'monthly'`, or `'yearly'`. Control the range with `from` (start date of occurrences) and `until` (end date), or cap the total count with `count`. For `weekly`, set `weekDays` to a comma-separated string of day codes (`'SU'`, `'MO'`, `'TU'`, `'WE'`, `'TH'`, `'FR'`, `'SA'`) and optionally `interval` to repeat every N weeks. For `monthly`, set `day` to the day of month. For `yearly`, set `day` and `month`. The `recurring` value can also be passed as a string in RRULE format. - To skip specific occurrences, add a `recurringException` array of dates (strings or Date objects) to the event. To skip occurrences that match a recurring pattern, add a `recurringExceptionRule` object with its own `repeat` rule. ## Run it in your project 1.
