Big Calendar Demo Image

[**DEMO and Docs**](https://jquense.github.io/react-big-calendar/examples/index.html) Inspired by [Full Calendar](http://fullcalendar.io/). ## Use and Setup `yarn add react-big-calendar` or `npm install --save react-big-calendar` Include `react-big-calendar/lib/css/react-big-calendar.css` for styles, and make sure your calendar's container element has a height, or the calendar won't be visible. To provide your own custom styling, see the [Custom Styling](#custom-styling) topic. ## Starters - [react-big-calendar](https://github.com/arecvlohe/rbc-starter) - [react-big-calendar with drag and drop](https://github.com/arecvlohe/rbc-with-dnd-starter) - [react-big-calendar with TypeScript and React hooks bundled with Vite](https://github.com/christopher-caldwell/react-big-calendar-demo) ## Run examples locally ```sh $ git clone git@github.com:jquense/react-big-calendar.git $ cd react-big-calendar $ yarn $ yarn storybook ``` - Open [localhost:3000/examples/index.html](http://localhost:3000/examples/index.html). ### Localization and Date Formatting `react-big-calendar` includes four options for handling the date formatting and culture localization, depending on your preference of DateTime libraries. You can use either the [Moment.js](https://momentjs.com/), [Globalize.js](https://github.com/jquery/globalize), [date-fns](https://date-fns.org/), [Day.js](https://day.js.org) localizers. Regardless of your choice, you **must** choose a localizer to use this library: #### Moment.js ```js import { Calendar, momentLocalizer } from 'react-big-calendar' import moment from 'moment' const localizer = momentLocalizer(moment) const MyCalendar = (props) => (

) ``` #### Globalize.js v0.1.1 ```js import { Calendar, globalizeLocalizer } from 'react-big-calendar' import globalize from 'globalize' const localizer = globalizeLocalizer(globalize) const MyCalendar = (props) => (

) ``` #### date-fns v2 ```js import { Calendar, dateFnsLocalizer } from 'react-big-calendar' import format from 'date-fns/format' import parse from 'date-fns/parse' import startOfWeek from 'date-fns/startOfWeek' import getDay from 'date-fns/getDay' import enUS from 'date-fns/locale/en-US' const locales = { 'en-US': enUS, } const localizer = dateFnsLocalizer({ format, parse, startOfWeek, getDay, locales, }) const MyCalendar = (props) => (

) ``` #### Day.js Note that the dayjsLocalizer extends Day.js with the following plugins: - [IsBetween](https://day.js.org/docs/en/plugin/is-between) - [IsSameOrAfter](https://day.js.org/docs/en/plugin/is-same-or-after) - [IsSameOrBefore](https://day.js.org/docs/en/plugin/is-same-or-before) - [LocaleData](https://day.js.org/docs/en/plugin/locale-data) - [LocalizedFormat](https://day.js.org/docs/en/plugin/localized-format) - [MinMax](https://day.js.org/docs/en/plugin/min-max) - [UTC](https://day.js.org/docs/en/plugin/utc) ```js import { Calendar, dayjsLocalizer } from 'react-big-calendar' import dayjs from 'dayjs' const localizer = dayjsLocalizer(dayjs) const MyCalendar = (props) => (

) ``` ## Custom Styling Out of the box, you can include the compiled CSS files and be up and running. But, sometimes, you may want to style Big Calendar to match your application styling. For this reason, SASS files are included with Big Calendar. ``` @import 'react-big-calendar/lib/sass/styles'; @import 'react-big-calendar/lib/addons/dragAndDrop/styles'; // if using DnD ``` SASS implementation provides a `variables` file containing color and sizing variables that you can update to fit your application. _Note:_ Changing and/or overriding styles can cause rendering issues with your Big Calendar. Carefully test each change accordingly. ## Join The Community Help us improve Big Calendar! Join us on [Slack](https://join.slack.com/t/bigcalendar/shared_invite/zt-2fapdf4pj-oEF51KD2XgHKudkXEhk2lQ).
