Calendar

The Calendar component allows you to visually organize and schedule events. You can set the default view (day, week, or month), enable/disable various display options, and bind data to events and resources.

Restricted components

Certain components are restricted from being placed within the Popout of the Calendar component:

• Calendar, Kanban.

Properties

Property	Description
Date Format	Determines the format in which any date passed to the calendar via any of the properties will be parsed. It also determines the format in which any date made available by the calendar via exposed variables will be displayed. It uses the date format conventions of moment.js.
Default Date	Determines the date on which the calendar's view will be centered on. By default, the default date is set to the current date using moment.js i.e. {{moment().format("MM-DD-YYYY HH:mm:ss A Z")}}. If the calendar is on month view, it will show the month on which this date exists. If the calendar is on week view, it will show the week on which this date exists. This property needs to be formatted using the Date format property which is configurable on the inspector.

Events

Events property should contain an array of objects, each of which describes the events that the calendar needs to display.

Assuming that you set the date format to MM-DD-YYYY HH:mm:ss A Z, setting the Events property to the following code snippet will display an event titled Sample Event at the first hour of this day, as displayed in the image of calendar at the beginning of this page.

{{[
  {
    title: 'Sample event',
    start: `${moment().startOf('day').format('MM-DD-YYYY HH:mm:ss A Z')}`,
    end: `${moment().endOf('day').format('MM-DD-YYYY HH:mm:ss A Z')}`,
    allDay: false,
    tooltip: 'Sample event',
    color: 'lightgreen',
  }
]}}

Event Object Properties

Name	Description
title	Title of the event
start	The date(and time) on which this event begins. Needs to be formatted in the Date format you've supplied
end	The date(and time) on which this event ends. Needs to be formatted in the Date format you've supplied
allDay	Optional. Qualifies the event as an 'All day event', which will pin it to date headers on day and week level views
tooltip	Tooltip which will be display when the user hovers over the event
color	Background color of the event, any css supported color name or hex code can be used
textColor	Color of the event title, any css supported color name or hex code can be used
textOrientation	Optional. If it is set to vertical, the title of the event will be oriented vertically.
resourceId	Applicable only if you're using resource scheduling. This is the id of the resource to which this event correspond to.

You may supply any other additional property to the event(s). These additional properties will available to you when the calendar widget exposes any of the events via its exposed variables.

Resources

Specifying resources will make the calendar categorize week view and day view for each of the resources specified.

For example, to categorize week/day view into for three rooms, we specify resources this way:

{{[
    {resourceId: 1, title: 'Room A'},
    {resourceId: 2, title: 'Room B'},
    {resourceId: 3, title: 'Room C'},
  ]}}

If we specify the resourceId of any of the events as 1, then that event will be assigned to Room A, generating the following calendar, assuming that we've set the view to day and are viewing the day on which this event exists.

Default View

Determines whether the calendar would display a day, a week or a month. Setting this property to anything other than these values will make the calendar default to month view.

The view that is currently selected will be exposed as the variable currentView.

Start Time on Week and Day View

This determines the time at which week view and day view cells begins. Keep in mind that this field accepts a date, but still only the time and timezone(if provided) are taken from this date. The date should be provided in the date format chosen by you in the first property field.

End Time on Week and Day View

This determines the time at which week view and day view cells ends. Keep in mind that this field accepts a date, but still only the time and timezone(if provided) are taken from this date. The date should be provided in the date format chosen by you in the first property field.

Show Toolbar

Determines whether the calendar toolbar should be displayed or not. Click on Fx button to programmatically determine the field value to {{true}} or {{false}}.

Show View Switcher

Determines whether the calendar's buttons that allow user to switch between month, week and day level views will be displayed. Click on Fx button to programmatically determine the field value to {{true}} or {{false}}.

Highlight Today

Determines whether the today's card on the calendar should be highlighted or not. Click on Fx button to programmatically determine the field value to {{true}} or {{false}}.

Exposed Variables

Variables	Description
selectedEvent	This variable stores information about the event that has been chosen on the calendar component. This object comprises keys like title, start, end, allDay, and color, and they can be accessed dynamically through JS using the following syntax: {{components.calendar1.selectedEvent.title}} or {{components.calendar1.selectedEvent.start}}
selectedSlots	The variable selectedSlots contains the values of the slots chosen on the calendar component. This object comprises keys like slots, start, end, resourceId, and action, and they can be accessed dynamically through JS using the following syntax: {{components.calendar1.selectedSlots.slots[0]}} or {{components.calendar1.selectedSlots.end}}.
currentView	The currentView variable holds the type of view currently set on the calendar. The value updates when the user changes the view from the calendar header. Types of views supported: month, week, and day. The value can be accessed using {{components.calendar1.currentView}}
currentDate	The currentDate variable holds the current date data. The date returned by the variable is in the MM-DD-YYYY HH:mm:ss A Z format. The value can be accessed using {{components.calendar1.currentDate}}

General

Tooltip

A Tooltip is often used to specify extra information about something when the user hovers the mouse pointer over the widget. Under the General accordion, you can set the value in the string format. Now hovering over the widget will display the string as the tooltip.

Layout

Layout	Description	Configuration Options
Show on Desktop	Toggle on or off to display the widget in desktop view.	The value can be programmatically determined by clicking on Fx to set the value {{true}} or {{false}}.
Show on Mobile	Toggle on or off to display the widget in desktop view.	The value can be programmatically determined by clicking on Fx to set the value {{true}} or {{false}}.

Styles

Style	Description
Visibility	Toggle on or off to control the visibility of the widget. You can programmatically change its value by clicking on the Fx button next to it. If {{false}} the widget will not be visible after the app is deployed. By default, it's set to {{true}}.
Cell Size in Views Classified by Resource	When resources are specified, the calendar could take up quite a lot of horizontal space, making the horizontal scroll bar of calendar having to be relied upon all the time.
Header Date Format on Week View	This format determines how the column header for each day in week view will be displayed. As with every other date format field in ToolJet, this follows the momentjs standard of date formatting. By default, its set to DD MMM.
