Event Calendar

Basic usage

The following example will create an event calendar with the default options.

JSX
import { Eventcalendar } from '@mobiscroll/react';

const App = () => {
  return <Eventcalendar />;
}

For many more examples - simple and complex use-cases - check out the event calendar demos for react.

Data binding

The event calendar accepts an array of event objects through the data option of the component. The event array can be either a local static array, or populated on demand with remote requests.

Local data

To bind local data to the event calendar, you can simply assign a JavaScript array of objects to the data option of the component.

JSX
import { Eventcalendar } from '@mobiscroll/react';

const App = () => {
  const [events, setEvents] = useState([{
    start: new Date(2020, 2, 18, 8, 0),
    end: new Date(2020, 2, 18, 17, 0),
    title: 'My First Event'
  }, {
    start: new Date(2020, 2, 18, 9, 0),
    end: new Date(2020, 2, 20, 13, 0),
    title: 'My Second Event'
  }]);
  return <Eventcalendar data={events} />;
}

Remote data

You can load the data through an external request and assign it to the data option of the component.

JSX
import { Eventcalendar, getJson } from '@mobiscroll/react';

const App = () => {
  const [events, setEvents] = useState([]);

  useEffect(() => {
    getJson('https://example.com/events/', (events) => {
      setEvents(events);
    });
  }, []);

  return <Eventcalendar data={events} />;
}

Load on demand

Use the onPageLoading event to load the data relevant to the currently active view. The event fires every time the date range of the view changes, for example when someone navigates the event calendar. Getting the events in real time as the user interacts with the UI improves load performance and always serves the most recent data.

You can pass the view variables - like month and year - in the URL and handle the filtering inside the API implmentation.

JSX
import { Eventcalendar, getJson } from '@mobiscroll/react';

const App = () => {
  const [events, setEvents] = useState([]);

  const onPageLoading = useCallback((event, inst) => {
    const fromDay = event.firstDay.toISOString();
    const toDay = event.lastDay.toISOString();

    getJson('https://example.com/events?from=' + fromDay + '&to=' + toDay), (events) => {
      setEvents(events);
    });
  }, []);

  return <Eventcalendar data={events} onPageLoading={onPageLoading} />;
}

Recurrence

For the data, colors, labels, marked, and invalid options it's possible to specify recurrence rules. The rule can be an object or a string in RRULE format.

Supported properties:

In string format the specified properties are separated by the ';' character.

As object
recurring: {
  repeat: 'daily',
  count: 5,
  interval: 2
}
As string
recurring: 'FREQ=DAILY;COUNT=5;INTERVAL=2'

Examples

JSX
import { Eventcalendar } from '@mobiscroll/react';

const App = () => {
    const [events, setEvents] = useState([{
        start: new Date(2020, 2, 18, 9, 0),
        end: new Date(2020, 2, 18, 17, 0),
        title: 'Repeat every 2 days 5 times',
        recurring: {
            repeat: 'daily',
            count: 5,
            interval: 2
        }
    }, {
        start: new Date(2020, 2, 17, 20, 0),
        end: new Date(2020, 2, 17, 22, 0),
        title: 'Football training every Monday and Wednesday',
        recurring: 'FREQ=WEEKLY;UNTIL=2020-06-17;BYDAY=MO,WE'
    }, {
        title: 'Pay the bills - on every first Friday of the months',
        recurring: {
            repeat: 'monthly',
            pos: 1,
            weekDays: 'FR',
        }   
    }]);
    return <Eventcalendar data={events} />;
}

CRUD actions

The event calendar is bound to an array of events. Since the React component only compares the props by reference, when you are modifying the events (create, update, delete), you need to pass a new array which contains the updated data.

Here's an example for adding, removing, and updating an event.

JSX
import { Eventcalendar } from '@mobiscroll/react';

let guid = 0;

const App = () => {
  const [events, setEvents] = useState([{
    start: new Date(2020, 2, 18, 8, 0),
    end: new Date(2020, 2, 18, 17, 0),
    title: 'My First Event'
  }, {
    start: new Date(2020, 2, 18, 9, 0),
    end: new Date(2020, 2, 20, 13, 0),
    title: 'My Second Event'
  }]);

  const addEvent = useCallback(() => {
    const newEvent = {
      id: guid++,
      start: new Date(2020, 2, 18, 9, 0),
      end: new Date(2020, 2, 20, 13, 0),
      title: 'My New Event,
    };
    setEvents([...events, newEvent]);
  }, []);

  const deleteEvent = useCallback((eventId) => {
    // Create a copy of the event array
    const newEvents = [...events];
    // Find the index of the event to be deleted
    const index = events.indexOf(events.filter(event => event.id === eventId)[0]);
    // Remove the event from the array
    newEvents.splice(index, 1);
    // Pass the new array to the calendar
    setEvents(newEvents);
  }, []);

  const updateEvent = useCallback((updatedEvent) => {
    const index = events.indexOf(events.filter(event => event.id === updatedEvent.id)[0]);
    events[index] = updatedEvent;
    // Create a copy of the event array
    setEvents([...events]);
  }, []);

  return <Eventcalendar data={events} />;
}

In case you would like to edit a recurring event, you can use the updateRecurringEvent helper function.

Name Description
updateRecurringEvent

Parameters

  • originalRecurringEvent: Object - The original recurring event to update.
  • oldEventOccurrence: Object, null - The old event occurrence, if there's any.
  • newEvent: Object, null - The new event, if there's any.
  • updatedEvent: Object, null - The updated event, if there's any.
  • updateMode: String Specifies which part of the event to update. Possible values:
    • 'current' - This event occurrence only.
    • 'following' - This and following events.
    • 'all' - All event occurrences.
The function returns the updatedEvent and the newEvent.

See the Recurring event editor as an example.

Views

The event calendar supports three different views for three different jobs: the calendar view, schedule view and agenda view. These three can be combined and configured in a couple of different ways.

Calendar view

Use the event calendar as a traditional month view or combine it with an agenda as a week view. The events can be rendered as labels or in a pop-over that is shown on day click.

Desktop calendar view

Desktop calendar with labels and popover

Mobile calendar view

Mobile month view with agenda

Schedule view

The scheduler displays a time grid with its related events. It can be configured as a daily or weekly schedule. Work hours and work days along with disabled time-spans, breaks can be added. Use it to for advanced scheduling tasks with built-in drag & drop.

Desktop schedule view

Desktop weekly schedule

Mobile schedule view

Mobile daily schedule

There might be cases when you would like to change the height of the schedule cell. You can use the following CSS classes for this purpose: 

.mbsc-schedule-time-wrapper,
.mbsc-schedule-item {
  height: 20px;
}

Agenda view

The agenda calendar displays a list of events for a given period of time (year, month, week or day). It can be used as a stand-alon component or in combination with the calendar.

Desktop agenda view

Desktop agenda

Mobile agenda view

Mobile agenda

The three views can be used alone or combined with each-other. e.g. a week calendar combined with a daily agenda, listing the events for the selected day.

For the available configuration options see the view setting.

Daily agenda example

Weekly calendar view with daily agenda

JSX
import { Eventcalendar } from '@mobiscroll/react';

const App = () => {
  const [events, setEvents] = useState([/*...*/]);
  const view = useMemo(() => {
    return {
      calendar: { type: 'week' },
      agenda: { type: 'day' }
    };
  });

  return <Eventcalendar data={events} view={view} />;
}

Setting the initial view

By default the initial view of the calendar displays the current date. Depending on the view type, this might be the current day, week, month or year. For views, where time is also displayed, the view will be scrolled to the current time as well.

Changing the initial view to another date can be done either in a controlled or uncontrolled way.

Controlled component

To set the initial date of the event calendar in a controlled way (meaning that your component, which renders the calendar controls its selected date), use the selectedDate option to pass the date and the onSelectedDateChange handler to update the state when the date is changed from the calendar, e.g. using the navigation arrows.

JSX
import { Eventcalendar } from '@mobiscroll/react';

const App = () => {
  const [events, setEvents] = useState([/*...*/]);
  const [selectedDate, setSelectedDate] = useState(new Date(2020, 2, 18));

  const onSelectedDateChange = useCallback((args) => {
    setSelectedDate(args.date);
  }, []);

  return <>
    <Eventcalendar data={events} selectedDate={selectedDate} onSelectedDateChange={onSelectedDateChange} />
  </>;
}

Uncontrolled component

To only set the inital selected date, without the need of tracking later changes to the selected date, you can use it in an uncontrolled way (meaning that the calendar tracks the selected date in its own internal state) with the help of the defaultSelectedDate option.

JSX
import { Eventcalendar } from '@mobiscroll/react';

const App = () => {
  const [events, setEvents] = useState([/*...*/]);

  const myDate = useMemo(() => new Date(2020, 2, 18), []);

  return <Eventcalendar data={events} defaultSelectedDate={myDate} />;
}

For views, where time is also displayed, the view will be scrolled to the specified time. If the time part is not explicitly specified, it defaults to the start of the day.

When multiple days, weeks, months or years are displayed, the position of the specified date on the view (first, second, third, etc. day/week/month/year) is determined by the refDate option.

You can navigate to another view programatically any time, by changing the selectedDate option.

This will navigate the calendar to the view containing the specified date. For views, where time is also displayed, the view will be scrolled to the specified time. If the time part is not explicitly specified, it defaults to the start of the day.

When multiple days, weeks, months or years are displayed, the position of the specified date on the view (first, second, third, etc. day/week/month/year) is determined by the refDate option.

JSX
import { Eventcalendar } from '@mobiscroll/react';

const App = () => {
  const [events, setEvents] = useState([/*...*/]);
  const [selectedDate, setSelectedDate] = useState(new Date(2020, 2, 18));

  const onSelectedDateChange = useCallback((args) => {
    setSelectedDate(args.date);
  }, []);

  const setDate = useCallback(() => {
    // Set a specific date
    setSelectedDate(new Date(2020, 3, 19));
  }, []);

  return <>
    <Eventcalendar data={events} selectedDate={selectedDate} onSelectedDateChange={onSelectedDateChange} />
    <button onClick={setDate}>Set date</button>
  </>;
}

Events drag/resize/create

The calendar and schedule view events can be moved and resized with mouse/touch interactions. The dragToMove and dragToResize options enable the events drag and drop and resize functionality. With the dragTimeStep option the minimum amount of drag/resize step can be specified in minutes.

With the dragToCreate option enabled events can be created by dragging on the empty areas of the calendar and schedule view. On a desktop environment a new event can also be created with the clickToCreate option.

Blocked out dates

You can show blocked out time ranges with the invalid option. By default the events and the blocked out dates will be displayed on the view even if there is collision.

The invalid option supports the following formats: JavaScript Date objects, 8601 strings , or moment object. These formats can be passed directly to the array in this case the whole day will be disabled or as an object where the blocked out ranges can be customized with the following properties: allDay/start/end/title/recurring.
Custom properties can also be passed to the invalid object which will also be passed to the life-cycle events and this can help with the identification/validation of the invalids.

If an event interacts with an invalid range the event will be reverted to it's original position and the onEventUpdateFailed event will be fired. (If the dragToMove or the dragToResize options were used.)

If a newly created event collide with a blocked out date the event won't be created and the onEventCreateFailed event will be fired. (If the dragToCreate option was used)

Example to an invalid array and it's properties
invalid: [
    /* Passing exact dates will block out the entire day */
     new Date(2021, 1, 7), // Date object
    '2021-10-15T12:00', // string
     moment("2020-12-25"), // moment object

    /* Block out date range passed as an object */
    { 
      // multi day range with date string
      start: '2021-10-15T12:00',
      end: '2021-10-18T13:00', 
      title: 'Company 10th anniversary',
      type: 'day-off' // custom property
    },
    { 
     // multi day range with date object
      allDay: true,
      start: new Date(2021, 2, 7, 10, 10),
      end: new Date(2021, 2, 9, 20, 20),
      title: 'Conference for the whole team',
      type: 'conference' // custom property
    },
    { 
      // multi day time range with recurring and time string
      start: '13:00',
      end: '12:00',
      recurring: { repeat: 'weekly', weekDays: 'MO,TU,WE,TH,FR' },
      title: 'Lunch break',
      type: 'lunch' // custom property
    }
];

Customizing the events

You can customize the events by writing custom rendering functions. Depending on what your goal is, you have two options:

Customize the full event

Whenever there is an event (in the agenda, scheduler, timeline, labels or popover) your custom rendering function will be used for instead the default render. Mobiscroll will position your component to the right place, but anything else you want to show is up to you... like a title, description, color the background or show any content.

Customize the event content

In most cases you only want to customize the content section of the event. In this case your render function will be used for rendering the content of the event. Mobiscroll will position the event to the right place and will render essential information like the color of the event, the time and if it's an all day event or not. The title, description and any other fields you want to show (like participants, an avatar...) will be coming from your custom function.

Customize the event content

Agenda content customization

Examples

Render Event
import { Eventcalendar } from '@mobiscroll/react';

const App = () => {
  const [events, setEvents] = useState([/*...*/]);

  const renderEvent = useCallback((data) => {
    return <>
      <div className="my-start">{data.start}</div>
      <div className="my-end">{data.end}</div>
      <div className="my-title">{data.title}</div>
      <div className="my-custom-field">{data.original.description}</div>
      <div className="my-custom-field">{data.original.location}</div>
    </>
  });

  return <Eventcalendar data={events} renderEvent={renderEvent} />;
}
Render Event Content
import { Eventcalendar } from '@mobiscroll/react';

const App = () => {
  const [events, setEvents] = useState([/*...*/]);

  const renderEventContent = useCallback((data) => {
    return <>
      <div className="my-title">{data.title}</div>
      <div className="my-custom-field">{data.original.description}</div>
      <div className="my-custom-field">{data.original.location}</div>
    </>
  });

  return <Eventcalendar data={events} renderEventContent={renderEventContent} />;
}

Taking over the listing

When the agenda view is displayed, you can take full control of the rendering, using the renderAgenda option. The renderer function will receive the event data as parameter, grouped by days.

If you'd like to keep the scroll to day functionality, when clicking a day on the calendar, make sure to add the rendered days to the dayRefs object, which is also passed to the renderer function, with the timestamp of the day as key, and the DOM element as value.

JSX
import { Eventcalendar } from '@mobiscroll/react';

const App = () => {
  const [events, setEvents] = useState([/*...*/]);

  const myView = useMemo(() => {
    return {
      calendar: { type: 'week' },
      agenda: { type: 'day' }
    };
  });

  const renderAgenda = useCallback((data, options, dayRefs) => {
    return <div className="custom-event-list">
      {data.map((day) =>
        <ul className="custom-event-group" ref={(el) => {dayRefs[day.timestamp] = el;}} key={day.timestamp}>
          <li className="custom-event-day">{day.date}</li>
          {day.events.map((event) =>
            <li key={event.id} className="custom-event">{event.title}</li>,
          )}
        </ul>,
      )}
    </div>;
  });

  return <Eventcalendar data={events} renderAgenda={renderAgenda} view={myView} />;
}
Agenda full event customization

Agenda full event customization

Customizing the header

The header of the calendar can be fully customized to one's needs. This can be achieved by passing a function that returns the custom header to the renderHeader option.

Fully custom header
const customTemplate = () => {
    return <>
        <p>Any <strong>Title</strong> you want here or</p>
        <YourCustomComponent yourProp="yourPropValue" />
    </>
}
<Eventcalendar renderHeader={customTemplate} />

While fully customizing the header is very usefull, sometimes it's desireable to customize only parts of it. In this case you can take advantage of the default header's building blocks. These components let you put toghether the header you want, while you don't have to worry about the functionality behind them.
For example you can leave out parts from the default header, change the order the default buttons appearance or add custom components between them.

Here's the list of the built in components of the default header:

The above components can be used inside of the custom header. The following example will render the prev and next buttons and then a custom title that is set from a custom variable (myTitle variable).

Custom header with default buttons
const myTitle = 'My Awesome title';
const customWithNavButtons = () => {
    return <>
        <CalendarPrev />
        <CalendarNext />
        <div className="my-custom-title">{myTitle}</div>
    </>;
}

<Eventcalendar renderHeader={customWithNavButtons} />

Set to false when custom event rendering is used and the event list items contain other actionable elements, e.g. buttons.
calendarSystem Object undefined Specify the calendar system to be used. Supported calendar systems:
  • Gregorian - This is the default calendar system, no setting needs to be passed.
  • Jalali - Default system of the Persian calendar. The Farsi language needs to be included to the package. 
    import { Eventcalendar, jalaliCalendar } from '@mobiscroll/react';

export function MyComponent() {
  return <Eventcalendar calendarSystem={jalaliCalendar} />;
}
  • Hijri - Arabic language needs to be included to the package. 
    import { Eventcalendar, hijriCalendar } from '@mobiscroll/react';

export function MyComponent() {
  return <Eventcalendar calendarSystem={hijriCalendar} />;
}
colors Array undefined Change the color of certain dates on the calendar. Must be an array of objects with the following properties:
  • date Date, String, Object - Date of the calendar day which should be colored.
  • start Date, String, Object - Start date of the calendar days which should be colored.
  • end Date, String, Object - End date of the calendar days which should be colored.
  • background: String - Background color of the day cell, can be any valid CSS color ('red', '#ff0000', 'rgb(255,0,0)', etc.).
  • highlight: String - Highlight color of the day, can be any valid CSS color ('red', '#ff0000', 'rgb(255,0,0)', etc.).
  • recurring String, Object - Recurrence rule for coloring recurring days.
  • cellCssClass: String - CSS class for the day cell. This property is only applicable in the case of the calendar view.
The dates can be specified as Javascript Date objects, ISO 8601 strings, or moment objects.
The colors can be combined with the labels or marked options.
Example
colors: [
    { date: new Date(2020,2,23), background: 'pink' },
    { date: new Date(2020,2,24), background: 'green' },
    { background: '#ff0000', recurring: { repeat: 'weekly', weekDays: 'SU' } },
    { background: 'yellow', recurring: { repeat: 'weekly', weekDays: 'SA' } }
]
context String, HTMLElement 'body' The DOM element in which the popups (event popover, year and month picker) are rendered. Can be a selector string or a DOM element.
data Array undefined Events for the calendar, as an array of event objects. The event object supports the following properties:
  • idString, Number - A unique id for the event. If not specifed, the event will get a generated id.
  • startDate, String, Object - Specifies the start of the event.
  • endDate, String, Object - Specifies the end of the event.
  • titleString - The title of the event.
  • colorString - The color of the event.
  • allDayBoolean - Specifies if the event is all day or not.

The dates can be specified as Javascript Date objects, ISO 8601 strings, or moment objects.
The event objects may have additional custom properties as well. The custom properties are not used by the eventcalendar, but they are kept and will be available anywhere the event objects are used. E.g. the onEventClick event will receive the event object as argument, containing the custom properties as well.
Example
data: [{
          start: new Date(2021, 5, 23),
          end: new Date(2021, 5, 30),
          title: 'Conference',

dragTimeStep Number 15 Specify the steps in minutes for the schedule events during drag.
dragToCreate Boolean undefined If true, dragging on an empty cell will create a new event. It will also allow deleting of the focused events using the Delete or Backspace key. The title of the new event can be specified with the newEventText option.
dragToMove Boolean undefined If true, the events will be move-able.
dragToResize Boolean undefined If true, the events will be resize-able.
height Number, String undefined Sets the height of the component. The height of the calendar view impacts the number of labels that fit into a table cell. A show more label will be displayed for events that don't fit.
invalid Array undefined An array containing the invalid values.

Can contain dates (Javascript Date objects, ISO 8601 strings, or moment objects), or objects with the following properties:

  • allDay: Boolean - If true the specified date will cover the whole day.
  • start: Date, String, Object - Start of the invalid range.
  • end: Date, String, Object - End of the invalid range.
  • recurring: String, Object - Recurrence rule for recurring invalid ranges.
  • title: String - Text which will be displayed on the schedule view for the invalid range.
Example

    new Date(2021, 1, 7), // Date object
    '2021-10-15T12:00', // ISO 8601 string
    moment("2020-12-25"), // moment object

    // Passing invalid ranges
    { 
      // ISO 8601 strings
      start: '2021-10-15T12:00',
      end: '2021-10-18T13:00', 
      title: 'Company 10th anniversary',

responsive Object undefined Specify different settings for different container widths, in a form of an object, where the keys are the name of the breakpoints, and the values are objects containing the settings for the given breakpoint.
The available width is queried from the container element of the component and not the browsers viewport like in css media queries
There are five predefined breakpoints:
  • xsmall - min-width: 0px
  • small - min-width: 576px
  • medium - min-width: 768px
  • large - min-width: 992px
  • xlarge - min-width: 1200px
Custom breakpoints can be defined by passing an object containing the breakpoint property specifying the min-width in pixels. Example: 
responsive: {
    xsmall: {
        view: {
            calendar: {
                type: 'week'
            },
            agenda: {
                type: 'day'
            }
        }
    },
    custom: { // Custom breakpoint
        breakpoint: 600,
        view: {
            calendar: {
                labels: true
            }
        }
    }
}
selectedDate Date, String, Object undefined Specifies the selected date on the calendar. This can be changed programmatically and when changed the calendar will automatically navigate to the specified date.

For views, where time is also displayed, the view will be scrolled to the specified time. If the time part is not explicitly specified, it defaults to the start of the day.

You also need to pass a handler for the onSelectedDateChange event for a controlled usage, otherwise use the defaultSelectedDate option instead.

This does not change the reference date that defines the reference point of the navigation pages. To change the reference point for the navigation (e.g. start the paging from the newly selected date) use the refDate option.
showControls Boolean true Shows or hides the calendar header controls: the previous and next buttons, and the current view button together with the year and month picker.
theme String undefined

Sets the visual appearance of the component.

If it is 'auto' or undefined, the theme will automatically be chosen based on the platform. If custom themes are also present, they will take precedence over the built in themes, e.g. if there's an iOS based custom theme, it will be chosen on the iOS platform instead of the default iOS theme.

Supplied themes:
  • 'ios' - iOS theme
  • 'material' - Material theme
  • 'windows' - Windows theme
It's possible to modify theme colors or create custom themes.
Make sure that the theme you set is included in the downloaded package.
themeVariant String undefined

Controls which variant of the theme will be used (light or dark).

Possible values:
  • 'light' - Use the light variant of the theme.
  • 'dark' - Use the dark variant of the theme.
  • 'auto' or undefined - Detect the preferred system theme on devices where this is supported.

To use the option with custom themes, make sure to create two custom themes, where the dark version has the same name as the light one, suffixed with '-dark', e.g.: 'my-theme' and 'my-theme-dark'.

view Object { calendar: { type: 'month', popover: true } } Configures the event calendar view elements.

Properties

  • calendar: Object - Configures the calendar view. If omitted, no calendar will be displayed.
    Properties:
    • type: String (default 'month') - Sets the calendar type. Possible values: 'month', 'week'.
    • size: Number - Specifies the number of displayed weeks.
    • count: Boolean (default false) - If true, it will display the number of events on days with events.
    • outerDays: Boolean (default false) - Show or hide days from previous and next months. Hiding only works for type: 'month'.
    • labels: Boolean (default false) - Enable displaying events as labels on calendar days. To display multiple events on a day, set the calendar height to an appropriate value, using the height setting, The events will be displayed in the available space. If there are more events for a day, than the available space, a label with "x more" text will be displayed, which opens the popover showing all the events for the given day.
    • popover: Boolean (default undefined) - Enable popover for event listing on days containing events. If not explicitly defined, the popover will not show up if event listing is used. If event labels are used, popover will only show up for days where all labels do not fit on the calendar, and a "more" label is present.
    • popoverClass: String (default undefined) - A CSS class that's added to the popover element. Can be used to customize the styling of the popover on a calendar basis.
    • scroll: String (default 'horizontal') - Specifies the direction of the calendar scroll. Can be 'horizontal' or 'vertical'.
    • weekNumbers: Boolean (default false) - Show or hide week numbers.
  • agenda: Object - Configures the event list. If omitted, no event list will be displayed.
    Properties:
    • type: String (default undefined) - Sets the list type. Possible values: 'year', 'month', 'week', 'day'.
      If calendar is also displayed, only month, week and day values are supported.
      In case of month and week, the type and size should match the calendar type and size.
      In case of day type events on the selected calendar day will be displayed, so size will always be 1.
    • size: Number (default 1) - Specifies the number of years, months, weeks or days included in the list (depending on the specified type).
    • scrollable: Boolean (default false) - Setting this to true makes the event listing independently scrollable. There are two prerequisites for making this work:

      1 - The calendar needs to be to placed inside a container which has a height. This can be either a fixed height, a height in percentage, or a flex height. When the calendar is placed directly in a container with a fixed height, it will work out of the box.
      If the height of the container is specified in percentage, e.g. you'd like to fill the full page height, you need to make sure that all parent elements also have height: 100% specified, up until the body and html elements, or until the closest parent which has a fixed height.
      If the container is inside a parent with flex layout, it will also work out of the box.

      2 - The event list has a minimum calculated height of 200px - the result of the container height minus the height of the calendar header minus the height of the displayed calendar rows. If the calculated height is less then 200px, the event list will not be scrollable.
  • schedule: Object - Configures the schedule view. If omitted, no schedule will be displayed.
    Properties:
    • type: String (default 'week') - Sets the schedule type. Possible values: 'day', 'week' .
    • days: Boolean (default true) - Show or hide week days above the schedule grid.

Example

view: {
  calendar: {
    type: 'week',
    size: 2
  },
  agenda: {
    type: 'week',
    size: 2
  }
}
width Number, String undefined Sets the width of the popup container. This will take no effect in inline display mode.

Setting options dynamically

To make an option dynamic, you can pass a variable as option value. Whenever the value of the variable changes, the component will be re-rendered. 

const App = () => {
        
  const [myTheme, setMyTheme] = useState('ios');

  const changeTheme = useCallback(() => {
    // Changes the theme to Material
    setMyTheme('material');
  }, []);

  return <div>
    <Eventcalendar theme={myTheme} />
    <button onClick={changeTheme}>Change theme</button>
  </div>;
};
For performance reasons on re-render we compare prop values by reference. This means, that in case of options, which accept complex data structures, like arrays or objects, changes made inside the array or object won't be detected. To ensure the change is detected, always pass a new array or object reference.

import { Eventcalendar, localeDe } from '@mobiscroll/react';

export function MyComponent() {
  return <Eventcalendar locale={localeDe} />;
}

In some cases it's more convenient to set the locale using the language code string. You can do that by using the locale object, which contains all translations by language codes as keys.

The locale object is not tree-shakeable, meaning that all translations present in the object will end up in the application bundle, whether it's being used or not. 
import { Eventcalendar, locale } from '@mobiscroll/react';

export function MyComponent() {
  return <Eventcalendar locale={locale['de']} />;
}
monthNames Array ['January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July', 'August', 'September', 'October', 'November', 'December'] The list of full month names, for use as requested via the dateFormat setting.
monthNamesShort Array ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec'] The list of abbreviated month names, for use as requested via the dateFormat setting.
moreEventsPluralText String undefined Text for the "more" label on the calendar, when there's not enough space to display all the labels for the day, and there are more than one extra labels. The {count} inside the string will be replaced with the number of extra labels. When not specified, the moreEventsText setting is used for both plural and singular form.
moreEventsText String '{count} more' Text for the "more" label on the calendar, when there's not enough space to display all the labels for the day. The {count} inside the string will be replaced with the number of extra labels. Use the moreEventsPluralText as well, if the plural form is different.

Customizing the appearance

While the provided pre-built themes are enough in many use cases, most of the times on top of adapting to a specific platform, you'd also like to match a brand or color scheme. Mobiscroll provides various ways to achieve this:

Override the Sass Color Variables

A convenient way to customize the colors of the Mobiscroll components is to override the Sass color variables.

Let's say your branding uses a nice red accent color, and you'd like that color to appear on the Mobiscroll components as well, while still using platform specific themes (e.g. ios on iOS devices, material on Android devices, and mobiscroll on desktop). You can override the accent color for every theme: 

$mbsc-ios-accent: #e61d2a;
$mbsc-material-accent: #e61d2a;
$mbsc-mobiscroll-accent: #e61d2a;

@import "~@mobiscroll/React/dist/css/mobiscroll.react.scss"
It's important that you override the variables BEFORE the scss file import, otherwise it won't make any difference.
Here's a complete guide on how to set up Mobiscroll with SASS support

You can also customize the colors on many levels:

  1. Theme specific variables (ex. $mbsc-material-background, $mbsc-ios-dark-text) are applied to all components in a theme. Complete list of variables here.
  2. Component specific global variables (ex. $mbsc-card-background-light, $mbsc-listview-text-dark) are applied to all themes for a specific component.
  3. Component and theme specific variables (ex. $mbsc-ios-dark-form-background, $mbsc-material-input-text) are applied to a specific theme and a specific component.

Global variables

These variables are applied to all base themes: iOS, material, windows and mobiscroll.
They all come in pairs. One for the light and one for the dark variant in each theme.

Variable name Description
$mbsc-calendar-background-light Sets the background color of the Eventcalendar
$mbsc-calendar-background-dark
$mbsc-calendar-text-light Sets the text color of the Eventcalendar
$mbsc-calendar-text-dark
$mbsc-calendar-accent-light Sets the accent color of the Eventcalendar
$mbsc-calendar-accent-dark
$mbsc-calendar-border-light Sets the color of the border
$mbsc-calendar-border-dark
$mbsc-calendar-mark-light Sets the default color of the mark on marked days
$mbsc-calendar-mark-dark

If you really want to get sophisticated or if a color doesn't look good on a specific theme and you want to overwrite it, you can fine tune all of the above variables individually for each theme. Below are the complete list of variables broken down to themes:
