Event Calendar

Basic usage

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

Example
mobiscroll.eventcalendar('#eventcalendar');

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

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.

Example
mobiscroll.eventcalendar('#eventcalendar', {
  data: [{
    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'
  }]
});

Remote data

You can load the data through an external request and use the setEvents method to pass the data to the component.

Example
var inst = mobiscroll.eventcalendar('#eventcalendar');

mobiscroll.util.http.getJson('https://example.com/events/', function (events) {
  inst.setEvents(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.

Example
mobiscroll.eventcalendar('#eventcalendar', {
  data: [],
  onPageLoading: function (event, inst) {
    var fromDay = event.firstDay.toISOString();
    var toDay = event.lastDay.toISOString();

    mobiscroll.util.http.getJson('https://example.com/events?from=' + fromDay + '&to=' + toDay), function (events) {
      inst.setEvents(events);
    });
  }
});

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

Example
mobiscroll.eventcalendar('#eventcalendar', {
    data: [{
        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'
    }]
});

Recurring exceptions

In case you would like to skip some dates from your rule, that's when the recurring exception come in handy. You can either set specific dates and/or a recurring rule as an exception, using the recurringException and the recurringExceptionRule properties.

Example
mobiscroll.eventcalendar('#eventcalendar', {
    data: [{
        start: '2021-06-01',
        allDay: true,
        title: 'Repeat every day until the end of 2021, except every month\'s 15th',
        recurring: {
            repeat: 'daily',
            until: '2021-12-31'
        },
        // exact dates as exceptions
        recurringException: ['2021-07-10', '2021-07-11'],
        // recurring rule as an exception
        recurringExceptionRule: {
            repeat: 'monthly',
            day: 15
        }
    }, {
        start: '08:30',
        end: '10:00',
        title: 'Meeting every Monday and Friday, except every second month\'s 3rd',
        recurring: 'FREQ=WEEKLY;UNTIL=2021-06-01;BYDAY=MO,FR',
        recurringExceptionRule: 'FREQ=MONTHLY;BYMONTHDAY=3;INTERVAL=2'
    }]
});
In case you drag & drop an event on the calendar which is an occurrence of a recurring event, a new event will be created for the moved or resized event and the occurrence date will be added as a recurring exception to the original recurring event.

CRUD actions

You can use the addEvent, removeEvent and updateEvent methods for CRUD operations.

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

Example
var guid = 3;
var events = [{
  id: 1,
  start: new Date(2020, 2, 18, 8, 0),
  end: new Date(2020, 2, 18, 17, 0),
  title: 'My First Event'
}, {
  id: 2,
  start: new Date(2020, 2, 18, 9, 0),
  end: new Date(2020, 2, 20, 13, 0),
  title: 'My Second Event'
}];

var inst = mobiscroll.eventcalendar('#eventcalendar', {
  data: events;
});

// Add an event
inst.addEvent({
  id: guid++,
  start: new Date(2020, 2, 18, 9, 0),
  end: new Date(2020, 2, 20, 13, 0),
  title: 'My New Event
});

// Remove an event
inst.removeEvent(2);

// Update an event
var eventToUpdate = events[0];
eventToUpdate.title = 'Updated title';

inst.updateEvent(eventToUpdate);

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 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.

The displayed week days can be modified with the startDay and endDay properties of the schedule view option.

The displayed hours can be modified with the startTime and endTime properties of the schedule view option. With these properties both hours and minutes can be specified.

Example to display a work-week
view: {
  schedule: {
    type: 'week',
    startDay: 1, // Monday
    endDay: 5, // Friday
    startTime: '07:30',
    endTime: '18:30',
  }
}
Desktop schedule view

Desktop weekly schedule

Mobile daily schedule

Timeline view

The timeline view displays a timeline with its related events. It can be configured as a daily or weekly timeline. 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.

The displayed week days can be modified with the startDay and endDay properties of the timeline view option.

The displayed hours can be modified with the startTime and endTime properties of the timeline view option. With these properties both hours and minutes can be specified.

Example to display a work-week
view: {
  timeline: {
    type: 'week',
    startDay: 1, // Monday
    endDay: 5, // Friday
    eventList: false,
    startTime: '07:30',
    endTime: '18:30'
  }
}
Desktop timeline view

Desktop monthly timeline

Mobile timeline view

Mobile daily timeline

By default timeline rows will have variable height and will expand to accomodate the displayed events. This can be controlled by the rowHeight property of the timeline view option. If it is set to 'equal', the rows will have equal heights, and overlapping events will be distributed evenly to fit in the row.

The eventList property transforms the event display into a daily listing mode. This view represents a daily summary rather than an hour-by-hour layout, similar to the event calendar where labels are printed under the appropriate day for the appropriate resource one after the other. The events have an exact height and the resource rows will expand automatically if more events are displayed than the minimum height.

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

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

Example
mobiscroll.eventcalendar('#eventcalendar', {
  data: [/*...*/],
  view: {
    calendar: { type: 'week' },
    agenda: { type: 'day' }
  }
});

Changing the day

To set the initial date of the event calendar, you can use the selectedDate option. If not specified, it will default to today's date.

To change the selected date later, use the navigate method.

Example
var inst = mobiscroll.eventcalendar('#eventcalendar', {
  data: [/*...*/],
  selectedDate: new Date(2020, 2, 18)
});

inst.navigate(new Date(2020, 3, 19));

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.

To customize the newly created event use the extendDefaultEvent option.

External drag & drop

There is a possibility to drag & drop any external element into your calendar.
In order to achieve this, first you need to grant permission to your calendar to accept this behavior. You can do that easily by setting the externalDrop option to true.
As a second step, you'll have to create your external draggable element and pass a skeleton event definition through the dragData option which will be added to the event calendar on drop. If omitted, a default event will be created.

You can initialize the draggable containers with two different methods. You either use manual or auto-initialization. In case you're working with dynamic values, it is recommended to use the manual initialization. Here's an example:

Manual initialization
<div id="mydiv">Drag me to the calendar</div>
var now = new Date();
mobiscroll.draggable('#mydiv', {
    dragData: {
        title: 'My new event',
        // this event will be 3 hours long
        start: new Date(now.getFullYear(), now.getMonth(), 10, 12),
        end: new Date(now.getFullYear(), now.getMonth(), 10, 15),
        color: 'green'
    };
});

For the auto-init you only need to add the mbsc-draggable attribute to your container element and optionally pass a skeleton event definition through the data-drag-data attribute as a JSON string. If omitted, a default event will be created.

Auto-initialization
<div id="mydiv" mbsc-draggable data-drag-data='{"title": "My new event", "start": "2021-03-10T12:00", "end": "2021-03-10T15:00", "color": "green"}'>Drag me to the calendar</div>
Please note that when dragging the external element, we create a clone of it for a better illustration of the movement.

Resources

Resources grouped by day view

The scheduler view can display multiple resources inside a single instance. By default the displayed resources will be grouped by the given resources and the grouping can be changed with the groupBy option, which also supports date grouping.

Example to a resource and groupBy settings
  resources: [{
    id: 1,
    name: 'Ryan',
    color: '#f7c4b4'
  }, {
    id: 2,
    name: 'Kate',
    color: '#c6f1c9'
  }, {
    id: 3,
    name: 'John',
    color: '#e8d0ef'
  }],
  groupBy: 'date'

The color property controls the default event color of the resource. If an event doesn't have a specified color it will inherit from the resource. The agenda and calendar view events and labels will also inherit the resource color.

Events, colors, invalids can be tied to a single or multiple resources. This can be done with the resource property of the objects, where the id of the resource should be passed. It can be a single value and the element would be linked to a single resource or in case of an array the element will show up at the specified resources. If no resource property is specified to the color/event/invalid object then the element will show up in every resource group.

Example to color/invalid/event objects with resource property
  invalid: [{ 
    start: '13:00',
    end: '12:00',
    resource: 1, // this invalid will be displayed only in resource group where id is 1
    recurring: { repeat: 'weekly', weekDays: 'MO,TU,WE,TH,FR' },
    title: 'Lunch break'
  }],
  data: [{
    start: new Date(2021, 5, 23),
    end: new Date(2021, 5, 30),
    title: 'Conference',
    allDay: true,
    resource: [2, 3] // this event will be displayed in resource groups where id is 2 and 3
  }],
  colors: [{
    // this color will display at every resource group
    start: new Date(2021, 5, 12, 16),
    end: new Date(2021, 5, 12, 17),
    color: 'green'
  }]

Resource grouping & hierarchy

The timeline view supports resource hierarchy. Hierarchy groups can be defined with the children property of the resource object and child objects have the same properties as the main level resources. By default every resource group will be displayed and this can be modified with the collapsed attribute of the parent objects.
It supports multiple levels of hierarchy, child resources can have their own children. Both parent and child rows can contain events and those can be moved between any rows.
Child or parent rows can be disabled by creating an invalid rule which repeats daily and it is tied to the specific resources. Example: { recurring: { repeat: 'daily' }, resource: [/* resource id(s) */] }

In case of the schedule view child resources will display only on one level, each parent will be followed by their children.

Example to resource hierarchy and disabling resources
resources: [{
  color: '#f7c4b4',
  id: 1,
  name: 'Carl',
}, {
  color: '#c6f1c9',
  id: 2,
  collapsed: false,
  name: 'Sharon',
  children: [
    {
      color: 'red',
      id: 21,
      name: 'Child 1 of Sharon',
    },
    {
      color: 'blue',
      id: 22,
      name: 'Child 2 of Sharon',
      collapsed: true,
      children: [
        {
          color: 'ef0011',
          id: 210,
          name: 'Grandchild 1 of Sharon',
        },
        {
          color: 'ef0011',
          id: 220,
          name: 'Grandchild 2 of Sharon',
        },
      ]
    }
  ]
}]

Resource templating

To customize the display of the resources, the renderResource and, in case of the timeline, renderResourceHeader options can be used.

In case of the timeline view the width of the resource column is fixed, but it can be overwritten from CSS if needed: 

.mbsc-timeline-resource-col {
  width: 200px;
}

/* For sticky event labels */
@supports (overflow:clip) {
    .mbsc-timeline.mbsc-ltr .mbsc-schedule-event-inner {
        left: 200px;
    }
    
    .mbsc-timeline.mbsc-rtl .mbsc-schedule-event-inner {
        right: 200px;
    }
}
Scheduler resource templating

Scheduler resource templating

Slots

Besides the resources which are grouping data for the whole date range, slots introduce a horizontal level daily grouping in case of the timeline view. Slots can be used alongside resources.

When slots are used the timeline view will display in daily listing mode and only the dragToMove event iteraction will be available. The dragToCreate and dragToResize interactions will be truned off.

The renderSlot option can be used to customize the slot template of the timeline view.

Example to slots
  slots: [{
    id: 1,
    name: 'Morning shift',
  }, {
    id: 2,
    name: 'Afternoon shift',
  }]

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

Custom Event
mobiscroll.eventcalendar('#eventcalendar', {
    data: [/*...*/],
    renderEvent: function (data) {
        return '' +
        '<div class="my-start">' + data.start + '</div>' +
        '<div class="my-end">' + data.end + '</div>' +
        '<div class="my-title">' + data.title + '</div>' +
        '<div class="my-custom-field">' + data.original.description + '</div>' +
        '<div class="my-custom-field">' + data.original.location + '</div>';
    }
});
Custom Event Content
mobiscroll.eventcalendar('#eventcalendar', {
    data: [/*...*/],
    renderCustomEvent: function (data) {
        return '' +
            '<div class="my-title">' + data.title + '</div>' +
            '<div class="my-custom-field">' + data.original.description + '</div>' +
            '<div class="my-custom-field">' + data.original.location + '</div>';
    }
});

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 mbsc-timestamp attribute on the element containing the events for a day, with the timestamp of the day as value.

Example
mobiscroll.eventcalendar('#eventcalendar', {
  data: [/*...*/],
  renderAgenda: function (data) {
    var html = '<div class="custom-event-list">';
    data.forEach(function (day) {
      html += '<ul class="custom-event-group" mbsc-timestamp="' + day.timestamp + '">' +
        '<li class="custom-event-day">' + day.date + '</li>';
      day.events.forEach(function (event) {
        html += '<li class="custom-event">' + event.title + '</li>';
      });
      html += '</ul>';
    });
    html += '</div>';
    return html;
  },
  view: {
    calendar: { type: 'week' },
    agenda: { type: 'day' }
  }
});

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 markup to the renderHeader option.

Fully custom header
mobiscroll.eventcalendar('#eventcalendar', {
    data: [/*...*/],
    renderHeader: function () {
        return '<div class="my-custom-title">My <strong>Awesome</strong> Title</div>';
    }
});

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 markup between them.

The built in header components can be initialized with their respective attributes as follows:

The above built in 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
var myTitle = 'My Awesome title';
mobiscroll.eventcalendar('#eventcalendar', {
    renderHeader: function () {
        return `<button mbsc-calendar-prev></button>
                <button mbsc-calendar-next></button>
                <div className="my-custom-title">${myTitle}</div>`;
    }
});

Timezones

By default the Eventcalendar uses the local timezone of the browser to show event data. If you want to show the data or interpret it in a different timezone, you will need an external library to handle the timezone conversions. There are two libraries that Mobiscroll supports: moment-timezone and luxon.

When using a timezone plugin with the Eventcalendar, the exclusiveEndDates options defaults to true. Learn more about exclusive end dates here!

Library Install

To setup the library, first you have to install it on your page. In this guide we'll assume you are using npm to install packages, but you can consult the installation guide on the libraries official pages (moment-timezone install page, luxon install page) for more options on how to install them.

The Moment-Timezone library

To install the moment-timezone library with npm you will need to run the following commands:

$ npm install moment-timezone

After the library is installed, you will have to import it with the momentTimezone object from mobiscroll:

import moment from 'moment-timezone';
import { momentTimezone } from '@mobiscroll/javascript';

Then set the mobiscroll's reference to the imported library:

momentTimezone.moment = moment;

After that, you can pass the momentTimezone object to the Eventcalendar's timezonePlugin option.

The Luxon library

To install the luxon library with npm you will need to run the following commands:

$ npm install luxon

In case you are using typescript you can also consider installing the types, because they come separately:

$ npm install --save-dev @types/luxon

After the library is installed, you will have to import it with the luxonTimezone object from mobiscroll:

import * as luxon from 'luxon';
import { luxonTimezone } from '@mobiscroll/javascript';

Then set the mobiscroll's reference to the imported library:

luxonTimezone.luxon = luxon;

After that, you can pass the luxonTimezone object to the Eventcalendar's timezonePlugin option.

Example with timezones

Example
import moment from 'moment-timezone';
import { momentTimezone, eventcalendar } from '@mobiscroll/javascript';

// setup the reference to moment
momentTimezone.moment = moment;
        
eventcalendar('#my-selector', { 
    timezonePlugin: momentTimezone,
    dataTimezone: 'utc',
    displayTimezone: 'Europe/Berlin',
});

Global Variables

In case you are using global varibles instead of ES6 imports in your page, the timezone objects are accessible from the mobiscroll global variable:

Moment-Timezone
mobiscroll.momentTimezone.moment = moment;
mobiscroll.eventcalendar('#my-selector', { timezonePlugin: mobiscroll.momentTimezone });
Luxon
mobiscroll.luxonTimezone.moment = luxon;
mobiscroll.eventcalendar('#my-selector', { timezonePlugin: mobiscroll.luxonTimezone });

Exclusive end dates

In version 5.7.0 we introduced support for exclusive end dates. This means that the last moment of a given range is not actually part of the range.

Many of existing calendaring solutions (e.g. Google Calendar) and standards (e.g. iCalendar) are working with exclusive end dates, so this makes interoperabiliy with our Eventcalendar UI simpler.

With the introduction of timezone support, this also became a necessity, e.g. if you have an event with start: '2021-07-09T20:00Z' and end: '2021-07-09T21:00Z', defined in UTC, when displayed in Europe/Bucharest timezone, the end becomes '2021-07-10T00:00+03:00'. With inclusive end dates the event will show up on 10th of July as well, which is unexpected.

The exclusive end dates mode can be enabled using the exclusiveEndDates option. When timezones are used (displayTimezone and/or dataTimezone is set), exclusive end dates are automatically enabled.

Enabling exclusive end dates can cause breaking changes, especially with all-day events with no time specified. With inclusive end dates an event with start: '2021-07-09' and end: '2021-07-10' will show as a two day event on the calendar view, expanded over 9th and 10th of July. With exclusive end dates the event will be a single day event, showing up only on 9th of July.

The Print Module is an optional module, that includes styles and functions for printing. It can be installed and used with other Mobiscroll Components as described below.

Installing the Print Module

When your Mobiscroll package is created with the Download Builder and you have access to the Print Module, you can choose to include it in the built package. In this case you will need make sure you checked the print module before downloading the package from the download page. After installing your downloaded package, the Print Module will be available for import.

When you're using the full Mobiscroll package from NPM, then you have the possibility to install the Print Module as an additional package (also from NPM). In this case, after successfully using the Mobiscroll CLI to configure the project, you will have to install the @mobiscroll/print package from npm. Use the following command: 

$ npm install @mobiscroll/print

Importing the Print Module

The Print Module consists of print specific styles, that need to be loaded into the document. Also, there's a javascript part, that needs to be imported and passed to the component via the modules option.

Stylesheets

In the case of the packge built by the download builder, there's no additional stylesheet. It is already bundled into the same file all the other component files are.

For the NPM package, styles can be found at the dist/css/ folder inside the package.

Import path for the styles from the npm print package
// importing the css
import '@mobiscroll/print/dist/css/mobiscroll.min.css';

// importing the SASS - if you are using SASS
import '@mobiscroll/print/dist/css/mobiscroll.scss';

JavaScript

The print module can be imported from the installed package and passed to the component using the modules option. Here's an example:

Pass the print module to the Eventcalendar
import { print } from '@mobiscroll/print';

eventcalendar('#my-element', {
    modules: [print],
});

Printing

Printing only the eventcalendar contents can be done, using the print method of the eventcalendar instance. Calling this method will create a new window containing only the eventcalendar and will invoke the print function of the browser. After the printing is done, the window should close automatically.

The new window created by the print method will include all the styles and links to stylesheets from the original page. These styles will be copied over automatically, but in case you are using relative urls, the base url of the new window might not match yours. In this case, the print method can be passed a config object, with your custom baseUrl, to make the relative paths work. By default, the baseUrl will be the original page's origin.

Please note that popup blockers might block the created window, so you need to disable the blocker for this method to work.
Printing the Eventcalendar
const inst = mobiscroll.eventcalendar('#my-element', {
    modules: [print],
    data: myEvents,
});
            
inst.print();

When you want to include more than just the eventcalendar in your print, you can invoke the print screen of your browser. You don't have to worry about the printing styles for the eventcalendar, they will be applied in this case as well.

Third Party Calendar Integration

The Calendar Integration is an optional plugin, that includes synchronization with your Google and Outlook calendar services. It can be installed and used with the Mobiscroll Event Calendar as described below.

Installing the Calendar Integration Plugin

When your Mobiscroll package is created with the Download Builder and you have access to the Calendar Integration, you can choose to include it in the built package. In this case you will need to make sure you checked the Calendar Integration before downloading the package from the download page. After installing your downloaded package, the Calendar Integration will be available for import.

When you're using the full Mobiscroll package from NPM, then you have the possibility to install the Calendar Integration as an additional package (also from NPM). In this case, after successfully using the Mobiscroll CLI to configure the project, you will have to install the @mobiscroll/calendar-integration package from npm. Use the following command: 

$ npm install @mobiscroll/calendar-integration

Public Google Calendar

Calling the init function will do the necessary initializations for the third party. After the init, you can list the events from the public calendar.

Example
var googleCalendarSync = mobiscroll.googleCalendarSync;

googleCalendarSync.init({
    apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
    onInit: myInit,
});

function myInit() {
    googleCalendarSync.getEvents(
        'PUBLIC_CALENDAR_ID',
        new Date(2022,1,1),
        new Date(2022,3,0)
    ).then(function(events){
        mobiscrollInstance.setEvents(events);
    });
}

Private Google Calendars

Calling the init function will do the necessary initializations for the third party. For this step you need to use an API key and a client ID. After the init, you can sign in, list your calendars and events and create, update or delete the events on the calendars you have permission to.

Example
var googleCalendarSync = mobiscroll.googleCalendarSync;

googleCalendarSync.init({
    apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
    clientId: 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID',
    onInit: myInit,
    onSignedIn: mySignedIn,
    onSignedOut: mySignedOut,
});

function myInit() {
    googleCalendarSync.signIn();
}

function mySignedIn() {
    googleCalendarSync.getEvents(
        ['MY_FIRST_CALENDAR_ID', 'MY_SECOND_CALENDAR_ID'],
        new Date(2022,1,1),
        new Date(2022,3,0)
    ).then(function(events){
        mobiscrollInstance.setEvents(events);
    });
}

Outlook Calendar Integration

Calling the init function will do the necessary initializations for the third party. For this step you need to use a client ID. After the init, you can sign in, list your calendars and events and create, update or delete the events on the calendars you have permission to. More info about the Third Party Calendar Integration

Example
var outlookCalendarSync = mobiscroll.outlookCalendarSync;

outlookCalendarSync.init({
    clientId: 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID',
    onInit: myInit,
    onSignedIn: mySignedIn,
    onSignedOut: mySignedOut,
});

function myInit() {
    outlookCalendarSync.signIn();
}

function mySignedIn() {
    outlookCalendarSync.getEvents(
        ['MY_FIRST_CALENDAR_ID', 'MY_SECOND_CALENDAR_ID'],
        new Date(2022,1,1),
        new Date(2022,3,0)
    ).then(function(events){
        mobiscrollInstance.setEvents(events);
    });
}

Type Description
Eventcalendar Type of the Eventcalendar instance
MbscEventcalendarOptions Type of the settings object that is used to initialize the component

Options

Name Type Default value Description
actionableEvents Boolean true Defines if the events on the agenda and inside the calendar popover are actionable or not. If actionable, the event items will have hover and active states, and pointer cursor. 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.

});
clickToCreate Boolean, String undefined Enable new event creation on click. If true or 'double' a new event will be created only with a double click and with the 'single' value the event will be created instantly with a single click. This option will only work on desktop environment where mouse events are fired.
It will also allow deleting of the focused events using the Delete or Backspace key. In touch environment a long tap should be used to create a new event and it is controlled with the dragToCreate option.

Using the extendDefaultEvent option extra properties can be set for the created event.

The event deletion functionality can be overwritten using the eventDelete option.

The colored range will be considered all-day if:
  • allDay is explicitly set.
  • start/end is not specified, only the date.
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

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.
Use the getEvents method to get the events between two dates.
Example
data: [{
          start: new Date(2021, 5, 23),
          end: new Date(2021, 5, 30),
          title: 'Conference',

          title: 'Work project',
          recurring: {
            repeat: 'daily',
            until: '2021-04-01'
          },
          recurringException: ['2021-03-15', '2021-03-25'],
          recurringExceptionRule: {
            repeat: 'weekly',
            weekDays: 'SA,SU'
          }
        }]
dataTimezone String defaults to displayTimezone The timezone in which the data is interpreted. If the data contain timezone information (when the ISO string has a timezone offset ex. "2021-03-28T01:00:00Z" or "2021-03-28T03:00:00+03:00") then the data's timezone is used instead of the dataTimezone option.
When using timezones, the exclusiveEndDates option is also turned on by default.
When using anything other than the default, a timezone plugin must be also passed to the component.
Possible values are:
  • 'local' - Uses the systems local timezone
  • 'utc' - Displays data in UTC (Universal Coordinated Time)
  • Timezone name - The timezone name from the IANA time zone database ex. "America/New_York"
displayTimezone String 'local' The timezone in which the data is displayed.
When using anything other than the default ('local'), a timezone plugin must be also passed to the component.
Possible values are:
  • 'local' - Default. Uses the systems local timezone
  • 'utc' - Displays data in UTC (Universal Coordinated Time)
  • Timezone name - The timezone name from the IANA time zone database ex. "America/New_York"
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.

Using the extendDefaultEvent option extra properties can be set for the created event.

The event deletion functionality can be overwritten using the eventDelete option.
dragToMove Boolean undefined If true, the events will be move-able.
dragToResize Boolean undefined If true, the events will be resize-able.
eventDelete Boolean undefined

Enables or disables event deletion. When true, the focused event will be deleted on pressing the Delete or Backspace keys on the keyboard.

By default the event deletion depends on the clickToCreate and dragToCreate options. If either of those are true, and no eventDelete option is set, then event deletion is also enabled, otherwise not.

eventOrder Function undefined Determines the ordering of the events within the same day. Can be a function that accepts two event objects as arguments and should return -1 or 1.

If not specified, the default order is:
  • all day events
  • rest of events, sorted by start time; events with identical start times, will be ordered alphabetically based on their title
exclusiveEndDates Boolean undefined If true, the Eventcalendar will work in exclusive end dates mode, meaning that the last moment of the range (event, invalid, colors, etc.) is not part of the range. E.g. end: '2021-07-03T00:00' means that the event ends on 2nd of July and will not be shown on 3rd of July.
extendDefaultEvent Function undefined

Use this option to set properties to the new event created with click or drag. This event creation is handled by the clickToCreate and dragToCreate options. It takes a function that should return the properties for the new event. The object passed to this function has the following properties:

  • start: Date - The date when the newly created event will start.
  • resource: String, Number, Array - The id of the resource where the event creation started.

        title: 'My event',
    };
}
externalDrop Boolean undefined If true, external drag & drop is allowed.
groupBy String 'resource' Groups the given schedule resources based on the specified 'date' or 'resource'.
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:

In certain cases it might be more convinient to specify the valid values instead of the invalid ones. In this case use the valid option instead.

  • 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.
  • recurringException: String, Object, Array - Recurrence exception for recurring invalids.
  • recurringExceptionRule: String, Object - Recurrence exception rule for recurring invalids.
  • title: String - Text which will be displayed on the schedule view for the invalid range.
  • resource: String, Number, Array - specify resource ids for the invalid range. The invalid range will be displayed only for the specified resources. If there is no resource defined, the invalid range will be displayed for every resource.
  • slot: String, Number - specify slot ids for the invalid range. The invalid range will be displayed only for the specified slot. If there is no slot defined, the invalid range will be displayed for every slot.
Use the getInvalids method to get the invalids between two dates.
Example
invalid: [
    // Passing exact dates and times
    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',
    },
    {
      // Date objects
      allDay: true,
      start: new Date(2021, 2, 7),
      end: new Date(2021, 2, 9),
      title: 'Conference for the whole team',
    },

          weekDays: 'SA,SU'
      }
    }
];
invalidateEvent String 'strict'

Configures how to validate events against invalid ranges on create/move/resize:

When set to 'strict', event cannot intersect with an invalid range at all.

When set to 'start-end', event start and end cannot be inside an invalid range.
labels Array undefined Specify labels for calendar days. A label object can have the following properties:

    color: 'red'
  },
  {
    color: 'green',
    recurring: { repeat: 'yearly', month: 12, day: 24 }
  }
]
max Date, String, Object undefined Maximum date and time. The calendar cannot be navigated beyond the specified maximum date. If navigation is needed, but event creation should not be allowed after a specific date, use the invalid option with daily recurrence starting from the specific date. 
mobiscroll.eventcalendar('#mycalendar', {
    max: new Date(2021, 11, 12)
});
min Date, String, Object undefined Minimum date and time. The calendar cannot be navigated beyond the specified minimum date. If navigation is needed, but event creation should not be allowed before a specific date, use the invalid option with daily recurrence until the specific date. 
mobiscroll.eventcalendar('#mycalendar', {
    min: new Date(2021, 11, 12)
});
refDate Date, String, Object undefined Specifies the reference date of the component, which represents when to start to calculate the view you want to display. For example, if you want to display 14 days from today, you must specify today as the reference date.

renderAgenda Function undefined A render function to customize the agenda template. Should return the markup of an event list, to be used in the agenda listing. It receives the the following parameters:
  • events: Array - The events of the current view, grouped by day. A day object has the following properties:
    • date: String - The formatted date of the day.
    • events: Array - The list of events for the day. An event object has the following properties:
      • allDay: String - The localized all-day text in case of all day events.
      • end: String - The formatted end time, if the event is not all day.
      • id: String - The id of the event.

      • start: String - The formatted start time, if the event is not all day.
      • title: String - The title of the event.
    • timestamp: Number - The timestamp of the day
  • options: Object - The current settings of the component.
renderDay Function undefined

You can use the renderDay option to customize the day cells of the Eventcalendar. It takes a function that should return the desired markup. The Eventcalendar will take care of the positioning, but everything else (like background color, hover effect, etc.) is left to you.

If you are looking to customize only the content and don't want to bother with the styling of the event, you can use the renderDayContent option.

The render function will receive an object as parameter. This data can be used to show day specific things on the Eventcalendar. The object passed to the function has the following properties:

  • date: Date object - The specific date as a Date object.
  • selected: Boolean - True if the date is selected.
  • events: Array - The list of events of the day.
  • resource: String, Number - The id of the resource in case of week view scheduler when the events are grouped by resources.
Example
renderDay: function (day) {
    var date = day.date;
    var formatDate = mobiscroll.util.datetime.formatDate;

    return `<div>`+ formatDate('DDDD', date) +`</div>` +
    `<p>`+ formatDate('MMMM DD', date) +`</p>`;
}
renderDayContent Function undefined

You can use the renderDayContent option to customize the day content of the Eventcalendar. It takes a function that should return the desired markup. The Eventcalendar will take care of styling and you can focus on what you show beside the day number a.k.a the content.

If you are looking to fully customize the day (ex. add custom hover effects) you will need to use the renderDay option. In that case you will only get the positioning done by the Eventcalendar and everything else is up to you.

The render function will receive an object as parameter. This data can be used to show day specific things on the Eventcalendar. The object passed to the template has the following properties:

The scheduler can handle multiple resources inside a single instance. Resource grouping can be modified with the help of the groupBy option.

If set null or undefined, all events will be displayed, regardless of their resource property. If set to an empty array, only those events will be displayed which are not tied to any resource.

The timeline view can render multiple levels of hierachy groups. Levels can be added wiht the help of the children property.

The resource object has the following properties:

  • children: Array of object - Array of resoruce objects which will render as a child of the specified resource.

  color: '#e8d0ef'
}]
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
            }
        }
    }
}

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.
showEventTooltip Boolean true If false, it will hide the native tooltip that shows up when hovering over the event.
slots Array undefined

The slots besides the resources introduce a horizontal(daily) level of data grouping to the Timeline view.

If set null or undefined, all events will be displayed, regardless of their slot property. If set to an empty array, only those events will be displayed which are not tied to any slot.

The slot object has the following properties:

  • id: Number, String - This is an id that can be referenced in the events/invalids/colors data.
  • name: String - The name of the slot that will be displayed at the top of the slot column.
Example of a resource array
slots: [{
  id: 1,
  name: 'Morning shift,
}, {
  id: 2,
  name: 'Afternoon shift',
}]
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'.

timezonePlugin Object undefined

Specifies the timezone plugin, which can handle the timezone conversions.

By default the Eventcalendar uses the local timezone of the browser to show event data. If you want to show the data or interpret it in a different timezone, you will need an external library to handle the timezone conversions. There are two supported libraries: moment-timezone and luxon.
Read our guide on how to set up timezones in your app.

You can specify either the dataTimezone or the displayTimezone or both.

Depending on which externa library you use you can pass either the

  • momentTimezone
  • luxonTimezone
objects to the timezonePlugin option. These objects can be accessed under the mobiscroll namespace: 
var plugin = mobiscroll.momentTimezone;
var plugin2 = mobiscroll.luxonTimezone;
Example
mobiscroll.eventcalendar('#my-selector', {
    timezonePlugin: mobiscroll.momentTimezone,
    dataTimezone: 'utc',
    displayTimezone: 'America/New_York',
});
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: 'year', 'month', 'week'.
    • size: Number - Specifies the number of displayed weeks/months.
    • 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, String, Number (default false) - Enable displaying events as labels on calendar days. Supported values:
      • boolean - If is set to true 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. In this mode to display multiple events on a day, set the calendar height to an appropriate value, using the height setting.
      • 'all' - In this mode all the event labels will be displayed in the calendar cell and the row height will auto-expand based on the diplayed events. The row conatiner will became scrollable if the rows overflow the available height.
      • number - Specify how many events will be displayed in a calendar cell. The row height will auto expand until the labels count reaches the given number and after that the "x more" text will be displayed. An extra row will always be rendered for the "x more" labels.
    • 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' ,'month' .
    • size: Number - Specifies the number of displayed days/weeks.
    • allDay: Boolean (default true) - Show or hide the all day events.
    • days: Boolean (default true) - Show or hide week days above the schedule grid.
    • startDay: Number (default 0) - Set the first day of the view: Friday is 5, Saturday is 6, etc.
    • endDay: Number (default 6) - Set the last day of the view: Sunday is 0, Monday is 1, etc.
    • startTime: String (default 00:00) - Set the start time of schedule column. Hours and minutes can be specified in the string, example: '09:30'.
    • endTime: String (default 24:00) - Set the end time of schedule column. Hours and minutes can be specified in the same string, example: '18:30'.
    • timeCellStep: Number (default 60) - Set the step of the grid cells in minutes. Supported values: 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 60, 120, 180, 240, 360, 480, 720, 1440.
    • timeLabelStep: Number (default 60) - Set the step of the time labels in minutes. Supported values: 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 60, 120, 180, 240, 360, 480, 720, 1440.
    • timezones: Array - Use this to display times in multiple timezones on the time scale and time indicator. The timezones array can contain timezone strings or objects with timezone and label properties. Timezone strings must use the name from the IANA time zone database. If no label is provided, the time column label will be UTC +/- the timezone offset. 
      timezones: [
    'Europe/Berlin',
    'Europe/Bucharest'
]

      timezones: [{
    timezone: 'America/Chicago',
    label: 'CHI'
}, {
    timezone: 'America/New_York',
    label: 'NY'
}]
  • timeline: Object - Configures the timeline view. If omitted, no timeline will be displayed.
    Properties:
    • type: String (default 'week') - Sets the timeline type. Possible values: 'day', 'week' , 'month', 'year'.
    • size: Number - Specifies the number of displayed days/weeks/months.
    • eventList: Boolean (default false) - If true, transforms the hour-by-hour layout into a daily summary view. The events are listed under the appropriate day one after the other.

  • Czech: localeCs, 'cs'
  • Chinese: localeZh, 'zh'

mobiscroll.eventcalendar('#myexample', {
  locale: mobiscroll.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. 
mobiscroll.eventcalendar('#myexample', {
  locale: mobiscroll.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.

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/Javascript/dist/css/mobiscroll.javascript.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.

Tree Shaking for styles

Tree shaking is a term commonly used in web development and particularly in JavaScript for unused code removal. Since websites are served (mostly) over the network, loading times depend on content size, so minification and unused content elimination plays a major role in making webapps fluid.

For the JavaScript part, popular frameworks already have the treeshaking built in, so the components that are not used will be left out from the built project.

Eliminating unused styles

In case of the styles, leaving out the unused rules is not as straight forward.
The overarching idea is that CSS selectors match elements in the DOM, and those elements in the DOM come from all sorts of places: your static templates, dynamic templates based on server-side state, and of course, JavaScript, which can manipulate the DOM in any way at all, including pull things from APIs and third parties.

Sass variables to the rescue

The Mobiscroll Library comes with a modular SASS bundle, that can be configured which component styles and which themes to leave in and out for the compiled css file.

Every component and theme has a SASS variable that can be turned on or off. If the variable is falsy the styles that it needs will not be added to the bundle.

Example on configuring the styles
// include the ios theme
$mbsc-ios-theme: true;

// include the components:
$mbsc-datepicker: true;
$mbsc-eventcalendar: true;
        
@import "@mobiscroll/javascript/dist/css/mobiscroll.modular.scss"

In the above example the styles needed for the eventcalendar and datepicker will be included and only for the ios theme. All other components (like select or grid-layout) and all other themes will be left out from the bundle.

It's important that you override the variables BEFORE the scss file import, otherwise it won't make any difference.

Here's the complete list of the components and themes that can be used:

Some components use others internally, so it might happen that even though you don't want to include some styles, they will still end up in your bundle.
For example if you don't want to include the form components (input, button, segmented, etc...), but you are using the select component, the styles for the mobiscroll buttons, will still be in, because of the dependency.

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
