Calendar

The 7Kb JavaScript calendar.

You worked so hard to keep your app small. And then came the manager's request to add a calendar. Shit. Now you need Moment and jQuery and all your self-discipline means nothing. Until now.

The purpose of this library is to render 'events'. It offers a calendar view as well as a list view.

In order to avoid confusion with JavaScript events, calendar 'events' are known as entries (singular: entry) in the code base and API.

Calendar API

.set(data)

This updates the calendar's state with the new values provided and causes the DOM to update.

Usage:

calendar.set({events: [...]}) // update events

calendar.set({year: 2018, month: 1}) // jump to Feb 2018 (months are zero-indexed)

.get(key)

Get calendar state.

Usage:

var entries = calendar.get('entries')

.observe(key, callback[, options])

Use this to check when the calendar display is changed, possible fetching new entry data and updating the calendar with .set.

Usage:

calendar.observe('month', function(newMonth, oldMonth) {
  console.log("Month changed from", oldMonth, "to", newMonth)
  console.log("Year is", cal.get('year'))
  fetch(`/entries/?year=${cal.get('year')}&month=${newMonth}`).then(r => r.json()).then(data => {
    const entries = cal.get('entries')
    cal.set({entries: entries.concat(data.entries)})
  })
})

.destroy()

Removes the component from the DOM and removes any observers and event listeners that were created.

Usage:

calendar.destroy()

.on(event, callback)

Respond to events. See events below.

Trigger the modal

calendar.set({showModal: true})

Access to DOM Nodes

Certain nodes van be reference using the refs property of the calendar.

modalContent

Usage:

calendar.refs.modalContent.innerHTML = '<h1>Custom Modal Content</h1>'
calendar.set({showModal: true})

Events

entryClicked

Called when an entry is clicked/tapped in calendar view.

Usage:

calendar.on('entryClicked', function(event) {
  console.log(event.entry)
})

newClicked

Called when the New Entry area is clicked/tapped in calendar view.

Usage:

calendar.on('newClicked', function(event) {
  calendar.refs.modalContent.innerHTML = '<h1>Add New Event</h1>'
  calendar.set({showModal: true})
})

Translation

All strings can be overwritten in the options, so if you need something other than English, just pass in the translated strings.

Custom Modal Buttons

calendar.set({
  modalButtons: [
    {id:'do-something', text: 'Click Me'}
  ]
})

calendar.on('do-something', function(event) {
  console.log(event.entry)
})
