If you are looking to implement a fully customizable calendar on your React app, FullCalendar React CSS is the perfect tool for you. This library provides a set of React components that are designed to work seamlessly with FullCalendar, a popular JavaScript calendar library.

• Fully customizable calendar look and feel
• Support for different calendar views (month, week, day, etc.)
• Event handling and customization options
• Drag and drop support for events
• Timezone support
• Lightweight and performant

Installation

To install FullCalendar React CSS, you need to have Node.js and npm (or Yarn) installed on your system. Once you have these prerequisites in place, you can follow these steps to install the library:

npm install --save @fullcalendar/react @fullcalendar/daygrid @fullcalendar/timegrid @fullcalendar/interaction

or

yarn add @fullcalendar/react @fullcalendar/daygrid @fullcalendar/timegrid @fullcalendar/interaction

Usage

Using FullCalendar React CSS is straightforward. After importing the required components, you can render the calendar with the <FullCalendar /> component:

import React from 'react'
import FullCalendar from '@fullcalendar/react'
import dayGridPlugin from '@fullcalendar/daygrid'
import timeGridPlugin from '@fullcalendar/timegrid'
import interactionPlugin from '@fullcalendar/interaction'

export default function MyCalendar() {
  return (
    <FullCalendar
      plugins={[dayGridPlugin, timeGridPlugin, interactionPlugin]}
      initialView="dayGridMonth"
      events={[
        { title: 'Event 1', start: '2022-08-01T10:00:00', end: '2022-08-01T12:00:00' },
        { title: 'Event 2', start: '2022-08-05T14:00:00', end: '2022-08-05T16:00:00' },
      ]}
    />
  )
}

In this example, we have imported the required plugins (dayGrid, timeGrid, and interaction) and used them as components in the <FullCalendar /> component. We have also set the initial view to a month view, and passed in two events to be rendered on the calendar.

Customization

FullCalendar React CSS provides various customization options to style the calendar to your liking. You can use the eventContent prop to customize the appearance of individual events:

import React from 'react'
import FullCalendar from '@fullcalendar/react'
import dayGridPlugin from '@fullcalendar/daygrid'
import timeGridPlugin from '@fullcalendar/timegrid'
import interactionPlugin from '@fullcalendar/interaction'

export default function MyCalendar() {

  const handleEventClick = (arg) => {
    alert(`Event titled ${arg.event.title} was clicked`);
  }

  const renderEventContent = (eventInfo) => {
    return (
      <div>
        <b>{eventInfo.timeText}</b>
        <i>{eventInfo.event.title}</i>
      </div>
    )
  }

  return (
    <FullCalendar
      plugins={[dayGridPlugin, timeGridPlugin, interactionPlugin]}
      initialView="dayGridMonth"
      events={[
        { title: 'Event 1', start: '2022-08-01T10:00:00', end: '2022-08-01T12:00:00' },
        { title: 'Event 2', start: '2022-08-05T14:00:00', end: '2022-08-05T16:00:00' },
      ]}
      eventClick={handleEventClick}
      eventContent={renderEventContent}
    />
  )
}

In this example, we have defined a function to handle event clicks and another function to render the event content. The handleEventClick function shows an alert when an event is clicked. The renderEventContent function returns a custom JSX element that displays the event time and title in bold and italic font, respectively.

You can also use CSS to style the calendar elements. By default, FullCalendar React CSS includes a set of CSS rules that apply to the calendar elements. You can use these rules as a starting point to customize the calendar further.

Conclusion

FullCalendar React CSS is a powerful and flexible tool for implementing a calendar in your React app. Whether you need a simple calendar or a complex one with advanced features, this library has got you covered. With its intuitive API and customizable components, you can create a fully functional calendar in no time.
