Usage

Install: npm install kaiquecruz-ionic2-calendar --save

Import the ionic2-calendar module:

`` typescript
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { IonicApp, IonicModule } from 'ionic-angular';
import { MyApp } from './app/app.component';
import { NgCalendarModule } from 'ionic2-calendar';


@NgModule({
declarations: [
MyApp
],
imports: [
NgCalendarModule,
IonicModule.forRoot(MyApp)
],
bootstrap: [IonicApp],
entryComponents: [
MyApp
]
})
export class AppModule {}
`

If you are using PageModule, you need to import the NgCalendarModule in your page module

` typescript
import { NgCalendarModule } from 'ionic2-calendar';

@NgModule({
declarations: [
MyPage
],
imports: [
IonicPageModule.forChild(MyPage),
NgCalendarModule
],
entryComponents: [
MyPage
]
})
export class MyPageModule {}
`

Add the directive in the html page

` html
[calendarMode]="calendar.mode"
[currentDate]="calendar.currentDate"
(onCurrentDateChanged)="onCurrentDateChanged($event)"
(onRangeChanged)="reloadSource(startTime, endTime)"
(onEventSelected)="onEventSelected($event)"
(onTitleChanged)="onViewTitleChanged($event)"
(onTimeSelected)="onTimeSelected($event)"
step="30">

`

Note for Ionic Build/Run command

* calendarMode
The initial mode of the calendar.
Default value: 'month'
* showEventDetail
If set to true, when selecting the date in the month view, the events happened on that day will be shown below.
Default value: true
* startingDayMonth
Control month view starting from which day.
Default value: 0
* startingDayWeek
Control week view starting from which day.
Default value: 0
* allDayLabel
The text displayed in the allDay column header.
Default value: 'all day'

The text displayed when there’s no event on the selected date in month view.
Default value: 'No Events'
* eventSource
The data source of the calendar, when the eventSource is set, the view will be updated accordingly.
Default value: null
The format of the eventSource is described in the EventSource section
* queryMode
If queryMode is set to 'local', when the range or mode is changed, the calendar will use the already bound eventSource to update the view
If queryMode is set to 'remote', when the range or mode is changed, the calendar will trigger a callback function rangeChanged.
Users will need to implement their custom loading data logic in this function, and fill it into the eventSource. The eventSource is watched, so the view will be updated once the eventSource is changed.
Default value: 'local'
* step
It is used to display the event using more accurate time interval in weekview and dayview. For example, if set to 30, then the event will only occupy half of the row height (If timeInterval option uses default value). The unit is minute. It can be set to 15 or 30.
Default value: 60
` html

`

* timeInterval (version >= 0.3)
It is used to display the rows using more accurate time interval in weekview and dayview. For example, if set to 30, then the time interval between each row is 30 mins.
The unit is minute. It should be the factor or multiple of 60, which means 60%timeInterval=0 or timeInterval%60=0.
Default value: 60
` html

`

* autoSelect
If set to true, the current calendar date will be auto selected when calendar is loaded or swiped in the month view.
Default value: true
* locale

Default value: undefined (which means the local language)
` html

`
` json
calendar = {
locale: 'en-GB'
};
`
* markDisabled
The callback function used to determine if the time should be marked as disabled.
` html

`
` typescript
markDisabled = (date: Date) => {
var current = new Date();
return date < current;
};
`
* dateFormatter
The custom date formatter to transform date to text.
If the custom date formatter is not set, the default Angular DatePipe is used.
The format method in dateFormatter is optional, if omitted, the default Angular DatePipe is used.
` html

`
` typescript
calendar = {
dateFormatter: {
formatMonthViewDay: function(date:Date) {
return date.getDate().toString();
},
formatMonthViewDayHeader: function(date:Date) {
return 'testMDH';
},
formatMonthViewTitle: function(date:Date) {
return 'testMT';
},
formatWeekViewDayHeader: function(date:Date) {
return 'testWDH';
},
formatWeekViewTitle: function(date:Date) {
return 'testWT';
},

return 'testWH';
},
formatDayViewHourColumn: function(date:Date) {
return 'testDH';
},
formatDayViewTitle: function(date:Date) {
return 'testDT';
}

Default value: false

onCurrentDateChanged(event:Date) {
var today = new Date();
today.setHours(0, 0, 0, 0);
event.setHours(0, 0, 0, 0);

if (this.calendar.mode === 'month') {
if (event.getFullYear() < today.getFullYear() || (event.getFullYear() === today.getFullYear() && event.getMonth() <= today.getMonth())) {
this.lockSwipeToPrev = true;
} else {
this.lockSwipeToPrev = false;
}
}
}

* lockSwipes
If set to true, swiping is disabled.
Default value: false
Note: Since swiping is disabled, you could set currentDate to move the calendar to previous/next view. Do not set lockSwipeToPrev in the constructor phase. It will cause the view not updating when changing the currentDate. You could either set it in some callback function after initialization phase or use setTimeout to trigger some delay.
` html

`
` javascript
ngAfterViewInit() {
var me = this;
setTimeout(function() {
me.lockSwipes = true;
},100);
}
`

* startHour

`

* endHour
Limit the weekview and dayview ends until which hour (1-24).
Default value: 24
` html

`

* spaceBetween
Distance between slides.
Default value: 0
` html

`
* onCurrentDateChanged
The callback function triggered when the date that is currently viewed changes.

console.log('Currently viewed date: ' + ev);
};
`
* onRangeChanged
The callback function triggered when the range or mode is changed if the queryMode is set to 'remote'
The ev parameter contains two fields, startTime and endTime.
` html


onRangeChanged = (ev: { startTime: Date, endTime: Date }) => {
Events.query(ev, (events) => {
this.eventSource = events;
});
};
`
* onEventSelected
The callback function triggered when an event is clicked
` html


onEventSelected = (event) => {
console.log(event.title);
};
`
* onTimeSelected
The callback function triggered when a date is selected in the monthview.
The ev parameter contains two fields, selectedTime and events, if there's no event at the selected time, the events field will be either undefined or empty array
` html


onTimeSelected(ev) {
console.log('Selected time: ' + ev.selectedTime + ', hasEvents: ' +
(ev.events !== undefined && ev.events.length !== 0) + ', disabled: ' + ev.disabled);
};
`
* onTitleChanged
The callback function triggered when the view title is changed
` html


onViewTitleChanged = (title: string) => {

EventSource

EventSource is an array of event object which contains at least below fields:

* title
* startTime
If allDay is set to true, the startTime has to be as a UTC date which time is set to 0:00 AM, because in an allDay event, only the date is considered, the exact time or timezone doesn't matter.
For example, if an allDay event starting from 2014-05-09, then startTime is

` javascript
var startTime = new Date(Date.UTC(2014, 4, 8));
`

* endTime    
If allDay is set to true, the startTime has to be as a UTC date which time is set to 0:00 AM, because in an allDay event, only the date is considered, the exact time or timezone doesn't matter.
For example, if an allDay event ending to 2014-05-10, then endTime is
` javascript
var endTime = new Date(Date.UTC(2014, 4, 9));
`
* allDay    
Indicates the event is allDay event or regular event

Note The calendar only watches for the eventSource reference for performance consideration. That means only you manually reassign the eventSource value, the calendar gets notified, and this is usually fit to the scenario when the range is changed, you load a new data set from the backend. In case you want to manually insert/remove/update the element in the eventSource array, you can call instance method ‘loadEvents’ event to notify the calendar manually.

Instance Methods

` typescript
import { CalendarComponent } from "ionic2-calendar/calendar";

@Component({
selector: 'page-home',
templateUrl: 'home.html'
})
export class HomePage {
@ViewChild(CalendarComponent) myCalendar:CalendarComponent;
eventSource;
…
loadEvents: function() {
this.eventSource.push({
title: 'test',
startTime: startTime,
endTime: endTime,
allDay: false
});
this.myCalendar.loadEvents();
}
}
`

Localization

` typescript
import { NgModule, LOCALE_ID } from '@angular/core';

@NgModule({
…
providers: [
{ provide: LOCALE_ID, useValue: 'zh-CN' }
]
})
`

For version 0.4.x which depends on Ionic 3.9.2 and Angular 5.0, locale module needs to be registered explicitly in module file as below.
` typescript
import { registerLocaleData } from '@angular/common';
import localeZh from '@angular/common/locales/zh';
registerLocaleData(localeZh);

`

If you want to change the locale dynamically, you should use locale option instead of LOCALE_ID.

Performance Tuning

` html


calendar = {
dateFormatter: {
formatMonthViewDay: function(date:Date) {
return date.getDate().toString();
}
}
};
`

Known issue

* How to switch the calendar to previous/next month programmatically?
Answer: You can change currentDate to the date in previous/next month. You could also retrieve the Swiper element and then call the Swiper API directly.
`
var mySwiper = document.querySelector('.swiper-container')['swiper'];
mySwiper.slideNext();
``

* Error: Cannot read property 'dayHeaders' of undefined
Answer: Take a look at the Localization section. For version 0.4.x, you need to manually register the locale.
