As part of Event calendar and scheduler it can be picked up with the Scheduling & calendaring and Complete licenses.

Vue Calendar Calendar for Vue JS

Calendar - Mobile month view

Change demo

Use the event calendar for mobile, desktop and everything in-between. The content perfectly fills the parent container or the mobile screen in full width. You can choose to render an agenda below the calendar broken up into days ordered chronologically. All of this is configured in the view option.

You can use the calendar and agenda together or separately. For more ways to use the agenda learn about how to configure it.

Calendar - Desktop month view

Change demo

Desktops or larger screens provide more space, which means you can use not just the horizontal but vertical space as well. Horizontally the calendar grows to fill the full width of the parent container while the height can be adjusted through the height 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.

Calendar - Responsive

Change demo

The event calendar is fully responsive. It adapts to the available space and fills the screen to look good everywhere. While you don't have to worry about the width the height can be manually adjusted with the height option.

Use the responsive option to configure how the calendar behaves on different sized screens. The responsive option is equipped with five breakpoints - xsmall (up to 575px), small (up to 767px), medium (up to 991px), large (up to 1199px), xlarge (from 1200px). Custom breakpoints can be added if necessary: my-custom-breakpoint: { breakpoint: 600 } (from 600px up to the next breakpoint).

Change the viewport

Calendar - Print mode

Change demo

The event calendar includes print optimized styling through the print add-on. This needs to be added to the download package or installed separately from a dedicated NPM package.

Print styling is applied when someone prints the page that contains the calendar. In addition to that, you can call the print method on the instance which grabs only the markup of the calendar, places it onto a temporary page and calls the browsers printing function. This is especially useful when you want to add a button to only print the calendar rather than the whole page.

Besides printing, PDF export is possible through the print dialog of the browser.

The print module is not available in the trial. You can try the live demo to see how it looks.

Calendar - Events as labels

Change demo

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 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.

Rather show events in a pop-over?  Take a look at the next example →

Calendar - Events in popover

Change demo

Besides displaying events as labels, you can have them show up in a pop-over. Set it up through the calendar: {popover: true} object inside the view option. Using the popover setting saves vertical space and provides a subtle cue to the user that there are events. A small dot will appear in day cells with events or if calendar: {count: true} is set, an event count is displayed.

The same popover is rendered when events are displayed as labels and not all fit vertically in the calendar day cells.

Calendar - Reservation calendar

Change demo

When keeping records of bookings, the event calendar with exact label displays can come in handy. The labels accurately mark the exact start (e.g. 14:00) and end times (e.g. 11:00) of bookings, consolidating all booking records in a single, clear view.

By combining the eventDisplay: 'exact' setting under the view option with customizable labelContent , you can tailor the calendar to your specific needs. This allows you to create an efficient and user-friendly booking planning UI, ensuring all your bookings are easily managed and clearly displayed.

Calendar - Custom event order

Change demo

When rendering events, the default logic determines the order:

  • All-day events are placed at the top
  • Non-all-day events follow, sorted by their start times
  • Events with the same start time are ordered alphabetically by their title

The order property of the event data can be used to override the default ordering. The order property takes precedence over the default rules. If two events have the same order value, the default rules apply. For a more advanced order logic, the eventOrder option can be used which expects a function that compares two events and returns an order (-1 or 1).

Do you want to learn about the event ordering?  Learn more about it in the documentation →

Calendar - Timezones

Change demo

The event calendar works with local times by default, but ships with support for changing the timezone. The conversions and correct output relies on either of the two external libraries: luxon or moment-timezone. For installing and using these libraries check out this guide.

There are two angles regarding timezones:

  • dataTimezone - the calendar expects this format and returns this format. It is 'local' by default if the date-times don't contain any timezone information. It can be set globally on the calendar using the dataTimezone option, or specifically for the event using the timezone property of the event data.
  • displayTimezone - the calendar displays the events in this timezone. The date-times will be converted from the dataTimezone and displayed accordingly. It is 'local' by default
Enable switching the timezone in the UI?  Learn how to dynamically change timezones →

Calendar - Switching timezones

Change demo

If the context requires users being able to change the timezone on the fly, you can add a custom dropdown with the desired timezones to the event calendar header. This can be of course placed externally to the calendar as well, eg. setting page.

Set the timezone of the incoming data through the dataTimezone - eg. 'utc', and set the display timezone through the displayTimezone - eg. 'America/Los_Angeles'

Calendar - Event search with popup

Change demo

Use the available real estate in the calendar header to add event search. With the templating capabilities of the header you can easily add a search box and use a separate agenda instance to show the search results. This example is relying on a single API endpoint for getting the data onto the primary calendar view and also for getting the filtered data based on the search terms.

Events can be filtered in real time so using an agenda view for the search results is an easy choice. It provides all the necessary styling and advanced features that you might need to customize the experience.

Alternatively, search can be implemented in a sidebar next to the event calendar using a similar search box with an inline agenda instead of a dropdown.

Calendar - Event search with sidebar

Change demo

Inline search can be easily implemented with the help of a separate agenda instance. This example is relying on a single API endpoint for getting the data onto the primary calendar view and also for getting the filtered data based on the search terms.

Events can be filtered in real time so using an agenda view for the search results is an easy choice. It provides all the necessary styling and advanced features that you might need to customize the experience.

Alternatively, search can be implemented in the header of the event calendar using a similar search box with an agenda listed in a popup instead of rendered inline.

Calendar - Month or week view

Change demo

The calendar view supports variable weeks. Save space by only displaying one or two weeks or go for a full month where it makes sense. Use the type and size properties of the view option to set the size of the month or week view.

You can also set the first day of the week using the firstDay option, where Sunday is 0, Monday is 1, etc.

Calendar - Multi-month or year view

Change demo

Besides the single month view, the calendar can be configured to render multiple months or a year. Controlled through the calendar.type and calendar.size properties of the view option.

Depending on the height of the parent container the calendar is rendered in, the header that can be used for navigation is sticky at the top while the months are vertically scrollable.

Calendar - Displaying labels

Change demo

Labels on the event calendar go hand in hand with the height of the event calendar rows (representing weeks). It is possible to render as many labels as fit and keep the row heights equal. The row height is liquid and determined by the height of the calendar.

If you would like to render all labels, then passing labels: 'all' will do just that. This can make the row heights variable.

Alternatively a maximum number of labels can be set by passing a number to the labels property of the view.calendar option.

If there are more events than the number of labels for a particular day, an "x more" label will help users list out all events for the day.

By default the width of the labels fill the day cells (eventDisplay: 'fill') but alternatively eventDisplay: 'exact' can be used to display the labels with exact times.

Calendar - Colored backgrounds

Change demo

Color the background of the days with the colors option. You can specify backgrounds as exact dates, ranges or set up recurring rules. The recurring object works the same way as for the events.

Use the page-loading lifecycle event to color backgrounds runtime. You can learn about lifecycle events and places where to drop logic to customize the experience.

Calendar - Switching views

Change demo

Dynamically switch views within one calendar instance. Use a UI control to let users do the switching or do it programmatically. This example features a segmented component inside the header, but the live option changes can be invoked from anywhere.

Switch between a month view with a monthly agenda, a week view with a weekly agenda and daily event list. Thanks to property binding and all option changes are live and propagate accordingly.

Calendar - External navigation

Change demo

This example demonstrates how can the Eventcalendar navigated externally. Here we have a two-pane layout with a Datepicker on the left and a Calendar on the right. Changing date on the Datepicker will trigger the date change on the Calendar.

The Datepicker updates the selectedDate option of the Calendar in its @change event, while the Calendar updates the datepicker value from its @selected-date-change event.

Calendar - Custom event labels

Change demo

You can customize the look of the labels and show additional content besides the event.title. There are two approaches you can take:

  • Only customize the content of the labels - For this you will want to use the labelContent template. The color and positioning of the label will be handled by the calendar. The title and any other custom fields you want to show in the template is your responsibility.
  • Fully customize how the labels look (like in this example) - Use the label template. All original event fields along with computed fields like isMultiDay, lastDay can be leveraged for constructing the template. With the label template you will have full control over how the labels are styled including things like color, title and any custom fields.

Calendar - Custom events in popover

Change demo

The events listed in the popover can be customized in two ways:

  • Full event customization (like in this example) - The calendar handles the rendering of events in the correct order. Styling the content, colors and everything else is your responsibility.
  • Content customization - The calendar prints the start and end times, allDay and sets the appropriate color. Content like title and other fields can be shown.

You can provide styling to the title field and any other custom fields like description, location, participants ...

Create an event content template and pass it to the eventContent template. All original event fields along with computed fields like isMultiDay, lastDay are passed to the template. For a fully custom event rendering use the event template.

If you add custom markup you will want to add styling too. Use the popoverClass under the view option to tell the calendar what CSS class it should append to the popover container so that you can write specific CSS rules.

Calendar - Customizing the header

Change demo

You can customize how the header of the event calendar looks and how the components are arranged. Besides that you can also add custom functionality, like a segmented control that lets people switch between calendar and scheduler.

Use the header template for passing a custom header layout. There are predefined components - shorthands if you will - that can be used to assemble the header:

  • Navigation component - <MbscCalendarNav />. Use the .md-header-filter-controls CSS class for custom overrides.
  • Today button - <MbscCalendarToday />. Use the .md-header-filter-today CSS class for custom overrides.
  • Previous month button - <MbscCalendarPrev />. Use the .md-header-filter-prev CSS class for custom overrides.
  • Next month button - <MbscCalendarNext />. Use the .md-header-filter-next CSS class for custom overrides.

For changing the order the controls are laid out, you only need to set up the header template. This example sets a consistent order and layout across all themes and shows a custom control at the far right end.

Overriding the order for specific themes

For a custom order on a theme to theme basis, you will need to use a little CSS. Flex layout makes reordering easy. It's just a matter of setting the order in CSS. For material use the .mbsc-material, for windows the .mbsc-windows prefix and for iOS it is .mbsc-ios class. Eg.:

.mbsc-material .md-header-filter-prev { order: 1; }
.mbsc-material .md-header-filter-next { order: 2; }
.mbsc-material .md-header-filter-controls { order: 3; }
.mbsc-material .md-header-filter-today { order: 4; }

Calendar - Custom event tooltip

Change demo

There are several approaches to showing a tooltip when hovering events.

The native tooltip

By default, the calendar shows the browser native tooltip when hovering over the event. This includes the times and title of the event, which does the job most of the times. For showing a custom text use the tooltip property of the data object. This tooltip is specific to every event. If you want to hide the native tooltip, you can set the showEventTooltip to false.

Fully custom tooltip

Setting the showEventTooltip to false gives room for a fully custom tooltip that can be implemented by using the event-hover-in and event-hover-out lifecycle events. With the help of the Mobiscroll popup you can show a custom tooltip that holds details, actions applicable to the event it is anchored to.

Calendar - Move, resize & create

Change demo

Drag & drop is a core feature of the event calendar and it is composed of four sub-features:

  • Click to create events - double click to create events. This can be turned off or set to single click
  • Drag to create events - tap/click to start creating an event and drag to the desired length
  • Move events - grab an event and move it wherever needed
  • Resize events - change the length of an event, grab it from either end and resize it
  • Delete events - pressing the Delete or Backspace keys on the keyboard will delete the focused event

You have granular control over features through the clickToCreate, dragToCreate, dragToMove, dragToResize and eventDelete options, which are false by default.

Events can be marked as fixed by setting their editable property to false. This turns delete, drag & drop move and resize off for the event. The mbsc-event-readonly CSS class will be added to the events. This means if you would like to add opacity, override the mouse cursor or apply any other CSS override, you can add it to this class.

Calendar - Conditional move & resize per event or globally

Change demo
Conditional move & resize per event or globally
Get started with this example

The drag & drop interactions can be fine-tuned depending on the requirements and situations. Maybe controlled by roles, event types, resources the move and resize can be turned on/off on an event basis or globally on the instance.

  • Events can be fixed in length (cannot be resized) - by setting dragToResize option to false the events cannot be resized.
  • Events can be fixed in time (cannot be moved) - by setting dragInTime option to false the events cannot be moved in time. Take in consideration that dragToMove must be set to true

To control this on an event basis, use the appropriate properties which have precedence over global calendar options.

Calendar - Drag & drop between calendars

Change demo

There are certain cases when moving the events between calendars can come in handy.

Dragging and dropping events between two calendar instances can be enabled by turning on the externalDrag and externalDrop options.

Calendar - Manage blocked out dates

Change demo

Entire days and ranges can be blocked out to manage event creation and editing more efficiently.

To disable specific or recurring days you can pass an array to the invalid option. A couple of examples:

  • To disable weekends, use the recurring object - recurring: { repeat: 'weekly', weekDays: 'SA,SU' }
  • Disable a specific range - { start: new Date(2020, 11, 19), end: new Date(2020, 11, 20) }

When dragging events onto disabled days, they will automatically be denied and event-update-failed/ event-create-failed events will be triggered, from which custom logic can be executed to show a toast or maybe a modal for data correction. The built-in logic of how the calendar handles validation on user interaction can be controlled through the invalidateEvent option:

  • 'strict' - Strict being the default, no event overlap is allowed with invalid ranges.
  • 'start-end' - With start-end validation the calendar checks if the start or end of the event coincides with any invalid range. Other overlaps are allowed.

If you're interested in invalids for a given range (including recurring occurrences), you can use the getInvalids function.

Calendar - Prevent event overlap

Change demo

Sometimes it is necessary to guarantee that events don't overlap - eg. when scheduling workorders, interacting with a work calendar. You can reject the updates or additions and let the user know about it.

The event overlap can be turned on/off on an event basis or globally on the instance.

  • On an event basis - by setting the overlap property to false the specified event cannot overlap.
  • Globally on the instance - by setting eventOverlap option to false overlap is disbled globally.

If set to false, the event settings have precedence over the global calendar eventOverlap option.

Give feedback to the user - optionally, a toast can be displayed to explain why an event cannot be dropped, moved or created. For this we can use the onEventCreateFailed and onEventUpdateFailed lifecycle events.

Calendar - External drag and drop

Change demo

Scheduling events (or dragging them onto a calendar)

Events can be created and scheduled by dragging and dropping an external resource (event) onto the scheduler. In order for that to work you will need to have two things set up:

  • Enable the scheduler to receive external events by setting externalDrop to true.
  • Initialize the external events (containers) as draggable components.

Use the MbscDraggable component to specify a skeleton event through its dragData option and reference the draggable container in the element option. The dragData accepts a full event definition that will be added to the event calendar on drop. If omitted, a default event will be created.

Use the event-create and event-create-failed for triggering a custom logic on drop like showing a toast. The appropriate lifecycle event will be triggered if the drop is successful or fails.

Unscheduling events (or dragging them off a calendar)

Additionally events can be unscheduled by dragging them out from the calendar and dropping them onto an external drop container. To activate this, you will need to:

  • Enable the calendar to allow dragging events out by setting externalDrag to true.
  • Initialize the dropcontainer

Use the MbscDropcontainer component and its item-drop event to handle dropped events.

Events can also be dropped on another event calendar with externalDrop enabled.

When an event is dropped into an external drop container or another calendar, it will be deleted from the original calendar and the event-delete will be fired.

You can also use the event-drag-leave and event-drag-enter, and the drop container's item-drag-enter and item-drag-leave events to provide visual feedback or running custom logic during drag.

Calendar - External d&d presets

Change demo

Use external draggable events to create preset tasks that people can quickly copy and spawn events from. A great example is a car wrapping shop where different jobs need to be set up depending on the type of vehicle.

Print a list of predefined tasks and initialize them as draggable elements. Enable externalDrop for the calendar and set up the predefined event skeletons for the draggable component.

Whenever there is more information to be captured, like detailed task notes, customer information, the name of the technician... you can trigger a popup with the task form in the event-create lifecycle event. For failed drops (trying to schedule a task during lunch breaks or weekends) the event-create-failed event will be triggered.

Want to see how external presets look & feel for a scheduler?  Check out this example →

Calendar - In-header filtering

Change demo

The calendar view doesn't have built in resource listing, however we can easily solve that inside the header using the segmented component. The header of the agenda is a canvas and an opportunity for customization. You can add custom components and enable new interaction in context.

Such an example would be a custom filter block created with the help of a segmented control and placed between the standard UI components, which are:

For changing the order the controls are laid out, you only need to set up the header template.

Overriding the order for specific themes

For a custom order on a theme to theme basis, you will need to use a little CSS. Flex layout makes reordering easy. It's just a matter of setting the order in CSS. For material use the .mbsc-material, for windows the .mbsc-windows prefix and for iOS it is .mbsc-ios class. Eg.:

.mbsc-material .mds-header-filter-prev { order: 1; }
.mbsc-material .mds-header-filter-next { order: 2; }
.mbsc-material .mds-header-filter { order: 3; }
.mbsc-material .mds-header-filter-today { order: 4; }
Want to style and reorder the header?  Take a look at the previous example →

Calendar - Event properties

Change demo

The event data structure for the calendar is straightforward with a couple of base properties that the component understands and uses to render the UI. Besides the base properties you can add any custom property, like location, description ...

  • id - A unique ID for the event. If not specified a unique id will be generated
  • title - Defines the event text. This can be plaintext or HTML
  • tooltip - Defines the text for the tooltip which appears on mouse hover. If not specified, it will show the title and the start/end times of the event.
  • color - Defines the event color
  • start - Sets the start date and time for the event. It can be a js date object, ISO date string or moment.js object. Learn about date formats
  • end - Sets the end date and time for the event. The same formats are supported as for start
  • allDay - Configures the event as a full-day event
  • recurring - Configures the recurring rules for the event. Learn about recurring events
  • recurringException - Represents the exceptions of a recurring event, when specific dates need to be skipped from the rule.
  • recurringExceptionRule - Represents the exception rule of a recurring event, when recurring dates need to be skipped from the rule.
  • resource - Links the event to one or more resources. Expects a list of IDs part of the resources array.
  • timezone - The timezone where the event takes place. If specified, it takes precedence over the calendar's specified dataTimezone.
  • dragInTime - Specifies whether the event is movable in time. If set to false has precedence over the dragInTime option of the calendar.
  • resize - Specifies whether the event is resizable. If set to false has precedence over the dragToResize option of the calendar.
  • overlap - Specifies whether overlap is allowed on the event. If set to false has precedence over the eventOverlap option of the calendar.
  • editable - Denotes if the event is editable. If set false, the event cannot be dragged, resized or deleted even if globally enabled
  • cssClass - A custom css class for the event. Useful for quick styling adjustments of the event container.
  • bufferBefore - Defines a buffer time in minutes that happens before the start of the event. This buffer area can help you visualise delays or added minutes for tasks. It is not automatically rendered in case of the calendar view, but can be used in the custom template.
  • bufferAfter - Defines a buffer time in minutes that happens after the end of the event. It is not automatically rendered in case of the calendar view, but can be used in the custom template.
  • order - Specifies the order of the event in the event array. Has precedence over the default ordering rules.

Calendar - Supported date formats

Change demo

Understanding how to work with dates inside the event calendar is essential. You can pass to the data, marked, colors and labels in four different formats. The event calendar can work with Javascript date objects, ISO strings and Moment.js objects.

Calendar - Recurrence rules

Change demo

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.

Use the configurator to experiment, build strings and objects that you can grab and use.

Calendar - Loading inline data

Change demo

What is an event calendar without any events in it? To populate it with events all you have to do is pass the event array to the data option.

In a real-world scenario you would probably load the events from a remote resource or event better, load them on demand. However the point of this example is to understand how easy it is to add events to the event calendar.

Do you want to learn about the event data sctructure?  See how the event object is built →

Calendar - Events from remote API

Change demo

The calendar can be populated by passing an array to the data option, that you can construct either inline or by getting it from a remote API. The important thing to remember is that events need to be in a format that the calendar understands.

Interested in load on demand?  Dynamically load events on month change →

Calendar - Loading events on demand

Change demo

The event calendar supports remote and local data sources. Besides that, events can be populated on initialization or loaded on demand.

Getting the events in real time as the user navigates improves load performance and always serves the most recent data.

Use the page-loading lifecycle event to load the data runtime. You can learn about lifecycle events and places where to drop logic to customize the experience.

Calendar - Sync events to google calendar

Change demo

The event calendar comes with third party calendar integration support through the integration plugin. This needs to be added to the download package or installed separately from a dedicated NPM package.

It includes everything you need to authenticate your users, get their Google calendars and provides functions for CRUD operations. It takes care of loading the events and converts them to the required format so that they can be displayed on the Mobiscroll calendar separately or mixed with other calendars and events.

Customizing the interaction, event workflows, whether the events are read-only is up to you. In this live demo, newly created events will land in the primary calendar of the authenticated user.

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.

Calendar - Sync events to outlook calendar

Calendar - Load events from public google calendar

Change demo

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.

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.

Calendar - Add/edit/delete events

Change demo
Create new events

Drag to create and click to create is enabled. Events can be created by dragging or with double clicks. As soon as the initial position is confirmed, a temporary event is created and a custom edit dialog is shown for refinement. On cancel the temporary event will be removed and on confirmation the event will stay in the calendar.

Edit existing events

Drag to resize and drag to move is enabled. Events can be reordered and resized. In addition to that, clicking on the event will open a custom dialog that enables editing the various properties.

Delete events

Delete can be implemented inside the edit dialog with a button. It's just a matter of removing it from the data object. If a dialog is not shown on click, focused events can be deleted with the backspace and delete keys.

Calendar - Recurring event editor

Change demo

As seen in the previous example, an add/edit form can be created with custom and base event fields. While the CRUD example features delete with undo, this example shows off how to build a fully customizable recurrence editor right in the add/edit screen.

Above some common presets, like Daily, Weekly on X day, Monthly on Xth, Annually on the same day, Every Weekday a fully custom recurrence editor is implemented.

Copy & paste or delve into the code and understand how to generate recurrence objects or RRULES as seen in this live rule builder.

Calendar - Disable past event creation

Change demo

Sometimes we don't want users to be able to create events in the past or to alter past events. This might be role based in some cases or applied in general to the calendar.

To disable past event creation and manipulation, a couple of things need to be handled:

  • Invalidate dates that are before today - this takes care of validating event drop and event creation on past dates
  • Mark past events as fixed - to do this, set the editable property of the event object to false for the events that should remain fixed
  • Handle past occurrences of recurring events - recurring events are loaded as a single event and the occurrences are generated by the event calendar. Moving the past occurrences need to be handled in the event-update and event-create lifecycle events
  • Give feedback to the user - optionally, a toast can be displayed to give feedback to the user why an event cannot be dropped, moved and created in the past. For this we can use the event-update-failed and event-create-failed lifecycle events

Calendar - Multiple select & bulk operations

Change demo

Multiple event selection can be turned on with the selectMultipleEvents option. Selecting multiple events can be done through user interaction with CTRL/SHIFT/CMD + click or programmatically eg. click of a button or 'select all' checkbox.

Bulk operations like delete, update can be applied the selected events. Things like deleting with the backspace or delete buttons work out of the box but custom actions can be also applied. The selection can be easily retrieved and updated with the getSelectedEvents and setSelectedEvents method.

Custom actions can be performed with external buttons or with context menu activated on right-click.

Interested in moving events between two separate calendars?  Check out the next example for cut, copy, paste events →

Calendar - Move events between calendars

Change demo

While copy & pasting one or more events is useful, sometimes being able to move events between two separate calendars can improve productivity. How the calendars are laid out depends on the application, but the basic idea is that you will need to be able to tell where the events from the clipboard will be pasted.

In this example this is implemented by tracking the active instance, which is determined by the active tab of the segmented control. With this out of the way, CTRL/CMD+C/X/Z/V handle the copy, cut, undo and paste actions.

Calendar - Theming capabilities

Change demo

The look and feel of the event calendar can be deeply customized. There are four levels of customization:

  • Base themes: Choose between iOS, Material and Windows.
  • Light or dark: Every theme has a light and dark variant. Setting the themeVariant to 'auto' will switch based on system settings.
  • Custom themes: Use the theme builder to customize the colors and make it match your brand.
  • Custom CSS: If you need further customization, the sky is the limit with CSS overrides.

You can also see how every example looks by changing the theme from the header.

Calendar - Localization

Change demo

The components are fully localized. In case of the event calendar this covers date and time format, button copy, rtl and more. You can see how each example shows up by clicking on the small flag icon or checking the examples below.

All settings can be manually overridden  See what options the localization impacts →

Calendar - Calendar systems

Change demo

The event calendar supports multiple calendar systems. You can control it with the calendarSystem setting, and it supports the following options:

  • Gregorian - it is included by default
  • Jalali - it is the default system of the Persian calendar and is included within the Farsi language pack
  • Hijri - it is included in the Arabic language pack

Calendar - Lifecycle events

Change demo

The event calendar ships with different hooks for deep customization. Events are triggered through the lifecycle of the component where you can tie in custom functionality and code.

While users interact with the UI events like event-click, init, selected-date-change ... will be triggered.

For a complete list of events go to the documentation  See available lifecycle events →
