Download the PHP package dhonions/laravel-calendar without Composer

Laravel 9 Full Calendar 5 Helper

NOTE: For Laravel 10 version - use dhonions/laravel-10-full-calendar

This package is forked from acaronlex/laravel-calendar with a simple composer update to allow install on Laravel 9.

This is a simple helper package to make generating http://fullcalendar.io in Laravel apps easier.

Thanks to @maddhatter for the initial repo for laravel < 7

Installing

Require the package with composer using the following command:

composer require dhonions/laravel-calendar

The provider and Calendar alias will be registered automatically.

You will also need to include fullcalendar.io's files in your HTML.

Usage

Creating Events

Using event():

The simpliest way to create an event is to pass the event information to Calendar::event():

Implementing Event Interface

Alternatively, you can use an existing class and have it implement Dhonions\LaravelCalendar\Event. An example of an Eloquent model that implements the Event interface:

IdentifiableEvent Interface

If you wish for your existing class to have event IDs, implement \Dhonions\LaravelCalendar\IdentifiableEvent instead. This interface extends \Dhonions\LaravelCalendar\Event to add a getId() method:

Additional Event Parameters

If you want to add additional parameters to your events, there are two options:

Using Calendar::event()

Pass an array of 'parameter' => 'value' pairs as the 6th parameter to Calendar::event():

Add an getEventOptions method to your event class

Create a Calendar

To create a calendar, in your route or controller, create your event(s), then pass them to Calendar::addEvent() or Calendar::addEvents() (to add an array of events). addEvent() and addEvents() can be used fluently (chained together). Their second parameter accepts an array of valid FullCalendar Event Object parameters.

Notes

Note: The output from calendar() and script() must be non-escaped, so use {!! and !!} (or whatever you've configured your Blade compiler's raw tag directives as).

The script() can be placed anywhere after calendar(), and must be after fullcalendar was included.
