Basic setup of react-big-calendar events

Basic setup of react-big-calendar events

Setting up events in react-big-calendar involves defining an array of events and rendering them within the calendar component. Here's a basic guide to setting up events in react-big-calendar:

Installation

First, make sure you have react-big-calendar installed in your project:

npm install react-big-calendar moment

Example Usage

Here's a basic example of setting up events in react-big-calendar:

import React from 'react'; import { Calendar, momentLocalizer } from 'react-big-calendar'; import 'react-big-calendar/lib/css/react-big-calendar.css'; import moment from 'moment'; const localizer = momentLocalizer(moment); const events = [ { id: 1, title: 'Event 1', start: new Date(2024, 6, 18, 10, 0), // Year, Month (0-indexed), Day, Hour, Minute end: new Date(2024, 6, 18, 12, 0), }, { id: 2, title: 'Event 2', start: new Date(2024, 6, 19, 13, 0), end: new Date(2024, 6, 19, 15, 0), }, ]; const MyCalendar = () => ( <div style={{ height: '500px' }}> <Calendar localizer={localizer} events={events} startAccessor="start" endAccessor="end" style={{ margin: '50px' }} /> </div> ); export default MyCalendar;

Explanation:

  1. Imports:

    • Import necessary components and styles from react-big-calendar, moment, and the CSS file for react-big-calendar.

  2. Localizer:

    • Use momentLocalizer(moment) to localize and format dates using moment.js for react-big-calendar.

  3. Events Array:

    • Define an array of events (events) with objects containing id, title, start, and end properties.
    • start and end should be instances of Date objects or JavaScript Date compatible values.

  4. Calendar Component:

    • Use the <Calendar> component from react-big-calendar.
    • Pass localizer as a prop to localize the calendar.
    • Pass events array to the events prop of <Calendar>.
    • Use startAccessor and endAccessor props to specify the start and end fields in each event object.

  5. Styling:

    • Style the <Calendar> component by applying styles directly or through CSS classes.

Additional Configuration:

  • Custom Event Rendering: You can customize how events are rendered using components={{ event: YourCustomEventComponent }} prop in <Calendar>.
  • Date Formatting: Use moment or other date formatting libraries to format dates displayed in the calendar.
  • Event Handling: Handle events like onSelectEvent, onSelectSlot, etc., to perform actions when users interact with events.

This example provides a basic setup for displaying events in react-big-calendar. Adjust the events array with your actual event data and customize as per your application's requirements.
