Cross-platform gcal/outlook like calendar component for React Native.
It's a hard task to debug this library on three platforms. I usually develop with the Web version first, then confirm its functionality with real devices. My PC is Linux and my phone is Android, so on Android it is easy to test, but to debug on iOS, I have to bring my Macbook Pro from my garage and connect my wife's iPhone and test it. Every time I launch my MacBook Pro, it requires updating Xcode or even performing a full system update.. It takes so long time to start debug. As React Native works on iOS better than Android, I always sometimes skip testing it, so there should be a bug on iOS. If you help me debug it, I would much appreciate!
- Cross Platform: Runs on the Web, iOS, Android with the power of React
- Type-safe: Fully written in TypeScript
- Customizable: Able to provide your own theme, and pass your component to render.
- Lightweight: ~9KB (min + gzip), dependency is

npm install --save react-native-big-calendar
Or if you use Yarn:
yarn add react-native-big-calendar
Please ensure peer dependencies are installed.
npm install react react-native
If you use TypeScript ensure @types/react
and @types/react-native
is installed. react-native-big-calendar
internally uses them.
npm install --save-dev @types/react @types/react-native
If you are using this module on the Web, please install react-native-web
.
npm install react-native-web
If you are using Create React App, you are ready to go 🎉
For more details, please refer to the official react-native-web installation guide.

Props are:
name | required | type | description |
---|---|---|---|
events |
yes | ICalendarEvent<T>[] |
The events which will be rendered on the calendar. You can extend the type ICalendarEvent by providing a value to generic type T (see ./stories/events.tsx for an example). with optional children to display custom components inside the event, and optional event renderer function to take complete control over the rendered event (advanced feature). Events occurring during the same time range will be layered, offset, and assigned a unique color. |

For more information, see Storybook
interface ICalendarEventBase {
start: Date
end: Date
title: string

}
All day events should start and end on 0 in hour, minutes, and seconds (T00:00:00). For example:
{
title: 'all day event',
start: "2021-12-24T00:00:00.000Z",
end: "2021-12-24T00:00:00.000Z", // same date as `start`
}
You can specify custom event render function which receives the calculated TouchableOpacity
prop and event
.
- The function
renderEvent
must return aReactElement
. - The component should be wrapped inside a
TouchableOpacity
or any DOM element which accepts positioning and click events (onPress
, ...).
export interface MyCustomEventType {
color: string
}
const renderEvent = <T extends ICalendarEventBase>(
event: T,
touchableOpacityProps: CalendarTouchableOpacityProps,
) => (
<TouchableOpacity {...touchableOpacityProps}>
<Text>{`My custom event: ${event.title} with a color: ${event.color}`}</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
)
<Calendar renderEvent={renderEvent} />
Your events can contain a prop children
An example can be found here.
const eventNotes = useMemo(
() => (
<View style={{ marginTop: 3 }}>
<Text style={{ fontSize: 10, color: 'white' }}> Phone number: 555-123-4567 </Text>
<Text style={{ fontSize: 10, color: 'white' }}> Arrive 15 minutes early </Text>
</View>
),
[],
)
export const myEvents: ICalendarEventBase[] = [
{
title: 'Custom reminder',
start: dayjs().set('hour', 16).set('minute', 0).toDate(),
end: dayjs().set('hour', 17).set('minute', 0).toDate(),
children: eventNotes,
},
]
You can customize the calendar by passing the theme
prop. theme
should be like this interface partially:
export interface Palette {
main: string
contrastText: string
}
export type Typography = Pick<
TextStyle,
'fontFamily' | 'fontWeight' | 'fontSize' | 'lineHeight' | 'letterSpacing' | 'textAlign'
>
export interface ThemeInterface {
palette: {
primary: Palette
nowIndicator: string
gray: {
100: string
200: string
300: string
500: string
800: string
}
moreLabel: string
}
isRTL: boolean
typography: {
fontFamily?: string
xs: Typography
sm: Typography
xl: Typography
moreLabel: Typography
}
eventCellOverlappings: readonly Palette[]
moreLabel: TextStyle
}
For example:
const darkTheme = {
palette: {
primary: {
main: '#6185d0',
contrastText: '#000',
},
gray: {
'100': '#333',
'200': '#666',
'300': '#888',
'500': '#aaa',
'800': '#ccc',
},
},
}
<Calendar
height={SCREEN_HEIGHT}
theme={darkTheme}
/>
Please specity your locale via locale
prop and import day.js locale file:
import 'dayjs/locale/ja'
<Calendar
locale="ja"
{/* ... */}
/>
You can find your dayjs locale here:
https://github.com/iamkun/dayjs/tree/dev/src/locale

If you are using this library, please send a PR to add your organization!
First, thank you for your interest in this project. As this library is getting famous, lots of people are requesting features they need. I would like to respond all of them as possible, but there are limited hours I'm working on this. To be a full-time open sourcer and make this project sustainable, I've decided to add the enterprise support.
Enterprise customers are able to obtain:
- Full customization like colors, logos, images, and more.
- Priority response and development.
- Consultancy for React, TypeScript, and React Native application.
Note that some Enterprise features will be merged to the OSS version too.
If you are interested in those features, please send an email to: ketsume0211@gmail.com
